Some people have said that I should breed her with a Pug or a Beagle, what do you think?

That sounds good to me, because if you breed her with a Pug or a Beagle then the puppies would be 3/4 Pug or Beagle and just a 1/4 Pug or Beagle, do get what I am trying to say?

A puggle isn't really a breed, its a cross so what does it matter?
For that matter why breed at all?
If you want to help establish a brand new breed, then you've got to decide what you're trying to create and go from there.
Seriously, a puggle is a cross between two established breeds and I'm sure they make many people happy but they are not a breed by themselves. Maybe in years to come a breed will be created but it hasn't happened yet.
In order to have a breed, people have to agree on the breed's characteristics from size to temperment. Dogs in the breed need to reproduce other dogs that are similar. People like to buy purebred puppies because they have an idea of what the adult dog will be like based upon its heritage. That's the whole point of breeds:trying to create consistency.
Right now a puggle is a fancy name for a cross between a pug and a beagle. A wonderful cross perhaps, but it is a cross just as much as the Irish Beaglehound or the Labraweiller in the local shelter.
FYI My old dog was a labrashepherdmanpinscher.

YOU SHOULDN'T BREED HER AT ALL!!!
THAT IS A MUTT - A MONGREL
You have utterly no idea of how breeding this or that to something or other will turn out when you mix genetic pools. The genetics for health, temperment and conformaton are complete wild cards when you breed mongrels,
Go adopt a dog that needs a home
This kind of nonsense is being churned by unscruplous back yard breeders and puppy mills out to make a buck.
They breed poor quality dogs (no repsonsible breeder in either breed would sell them a dog without it being neutered and spayed since it woul dbe pet quality)
They do none of the health exams for hereditary illneses and conditions (and Pugs are loaded with serious problems over 60% of the time),
They breed anything to anything as long as it is breathing - and
They charge some gullible believer in whatever fad or cute trend is the hottest thing of the moment HUGE amounts of money for a mongrel!!!
PT Barnum said it best "There is a sucker born every minute."
The thing about breeding mongrels is you have no idea what you'll get and what genes will be dominant for what traits.
Who ever said you should breed her needs to be spayed or neutered themselves.
ginuwed up above is completely clueless!! Or perhaps delusional mighy come closer since in no legitimate breed registry will you find such a thing as "puggle" so ther is no such thing as a "purebred"!
THERE IS NOT SUCH BREED
A MUTT BRED TO A MUTT YIELDS MUTTS!!!
I dearly love my old Aussie/Chow/Keeshond(?)/??? but bred her - not ever even if there ahd been a male that pretty much had the same mix - the puppies would be MONGRELS. Who knows what you would get?

I would say dont breed her, she is a mutt and no matter what you breed her with the puppies will be mutts. These breeds were invented by breeders who wanted to make money, like Matipoo's (Maltese and Poodle), Labradoodles(Labs and Poodles), There is much over population due to this its sad. Puggles are cute and Im sure your little girl is adorable, but she is a mutt. You can not get them registered as a purebred and it wont benefit the breed... cause its not one. Get her spayed it will be better for the both of you. It will decrease her chances of breast cancer and other serious illnesses and it will save you the mess.

A puggle is a mutt, a mix between a pug and a beagle. breeding it to another puggle will not make the puppies purebred. be responsible and fix your dog, make up for the irresponsibility of funding the crooks that sold you this dog: fix it!

Problem with these designer mixes is if you breed them to another of the same designer mix the result is unpredictable (but not usually characteristic of the designer mix). If you breed to one of the parent breed you get a 3/4 dog that still isn't the designer mix. So well do you really think dozens of people will be knocking down your do to get a mut?

I dont think you should breed it at all. How can you do that knowing thousands of animals without the designer name die every year because of lack of homes and sleep at night?
'Puggles' are a fad, I work in rescue and everytime we see a surge in popularity of a certain breed, 2 years down the road we see tons of them in the shelter.

I'm not sure, but I've wanted a puggle forever. I would breed her with another puggle. Not only that since you have the female, you'd make the money on the pups.

I think you should spay her. A puggle is a mutt, and no matter what you breed her to the puppies will also be mutts.

I don't think you should breed her at all. The fact that you are asking this question on Yahoo! Answers to a bunch of strangers with varying qualifications, rather than a group of reputable breeders, indicates to me that you have no idea what is involved with responsible breeding. Don't contribute to the unnecessary deaths of homeless animals by breeding for the wrong reasons. Please get your dog spayed.
