The real determining factor is the size of the beagle. If the parent beagle is the smaller 13' beagle, you will get a smaller puggle. If a 15' Beagle is the parent then you will get a larger puggle. Aside from that there are not too many other variables. They will generally be between 13 - 15 inches and 18 - 30lbs. Of course, there are exceptions, but you should be looking in that range if you want to ensure a healthy well breed puppy. Take a look at my pictures section of my website below. There are plenty of pictures to give you and idea of how large they can be full grown.
Find a reputable breeder! Good Luck

Like everyone I read said, a "puggle" is simply a mix between a pug and a beagle, probably neither of which met show quality standards, therefore they were "inferior" specimens, but then again does that really matter because a mutt is a wild card and a perfect pug plus a perfect beagle still produces something that looks like neither.
Anyways, both beagles and pugs come in standard sizes, which means there is only one type of puggle. There aren't seperate breads.
Unless you mistakenly wrote puggle and meant poodle? Then the smallest is toy, then miniature, then standard. Teacups are simply unhealthy runts with a huge pricetag. Good luck, andI'd say either get yourself a PB pug or beagle from a breeder, or hit the shelter and see what they have there.

You never know with mixed breeds, especially since most people that breed them do not use good breed examples as parents. I have seen Puggles that weigh over 40lbs, and I have never seen one under 25lbs. I would go with a purebred, you may still get a large example of the breed but you have a better chance of getting a specific size.
Also, I have been seeing a lot of Puggles in shelters (even puppies) so try looking for one there. If you get an adult you will know what size it is going to be because it is already grown.

I have a toy puggle from a miniture beagle mother... my puggle is full size 15lbs... they cost a little more than the bigger puggles, but they are for sure smaller...
mine also looks a little cuter in my opinion....
any size puggle would be ok for a town house i guess as long as you keep them active for a good enough time in the day... maybe 15-30 mins in the morning and 15-30mins at night/afternoon at a minium, and more as puppies...They don't need a great deal of space, just love and attention, they love people and play... and it depends on your lifestyle that helps depict their behaviour... also it depends on their personality also...
you can google image 'puggle' and see pictures of them grown!

A puggle is not a HYBRID it is a mutt!! im not saying dont get one but you do need to know they arent a true bred it is mixing too diffrent breeds together. just keep in mind that it will have the bad genetic problems of both the breeds. no one can give you an actual weight or height as these are a mixed breed there is no standard etc. I would go for a dog that you can predict his general size as a adult or you might end up with a bigger sized doggy.. anyways good luck in your search im sure you will love which ever pup you get!!!!

I'd have to agree with the first two answers given. These high priced fad breeds will be out of fashion soon enough and then the poor wee souls will be left to the devices of the shelters. We can only hope they end up in no-kill shelters. So if you simply have to have one, wait.
At the same time, though, you must realise that if you do pay the price that is asked then you're also going to have severe health problems as your second answerer pointed out. You have to ask yourself if you're willing to love a dog that much to deal with whatever health issues it has. This goes for pure breds as well.
The only point I'd disagree on is that it's bad to purchase mixed dogs. There are plenty of people out there who own a ***** and for whatever reason, she is mated with a dog of a different breed. The responsible owner will find good homes for them at a reasonable price, if not free. The problem is those idiots who are going to charge a pure breed price for a mix. That's foolish and I don't know why people do it. They clearly don't care about animal welfare.
And while puggles cannot technically be called a mutt because by definition a mutt is a dog of unknown origins, you cannot tell me that every single breeder of these poor dogs is responsible. Fewer than half are, if that.

Puggles are not a breed, and as a mix there is no way anyone can guaruntee their adult size, it all depends on which parent it takes after. That is why you see so much variation in size, coat and color. Do not listen to the above poster who says they are not prone to the diseases that pugs and beagles get. Even as new as they are, we are already starting to see them with eye, heart and back problems. Just wait until there is larger population of older puggles, then we'll see how healthy they are.

There is no kind of Puggle.A Puggle is not a breed..it is a mix between a Beagle and a Pug..so there won't be that much of a variation on sizes..Depending on if the Beagle was in the 13" & under category or the 1%" category the mix could be 15" at most or it could be shorter...with mixes there is no way of telling.

There are no "breeds" of puggle, a puggle is a cross between to different breeds and therefore a mutt (NOT a hybrid). No reputable breeder would deliberately breed mutts, so you can only get "puggles" from money hungry puppymills or ignorant BYBs.

Puggle is not a breed.It is simply a mixed breed high dollar designer dog. Wait a few months and you will find plenty who have been abandoned in the shelters.
