Does anyone own a Puggle?

Question

Do you think it will get along with my female Golden Retriever (1-1/2) and my older rescue guy (12-14?) Also, does anyone know of a puggles rescue group near Boston?

Answer 1

First I'll answer your specific questions, and then below is my "canned" puggle response.

Our puggle gets along great with other dogs, and a couple of her best friends are golden retrievers.

Not sure about rescue groups near Boston, but there are puggles available for adoption. See below -

Unfortunately it's very hard to find good answers about Puggles on Yahoo answers, because there are a lot of jerks who don't own puggles who think they know what kind of dogs they are.

Only take advice from people who own puggles. I own a puggle. She is a great dog. Very playful, highly energetic, but also will curl up on your lap when she tires out.

Puggles are very smart, and easily trainable. They tend to have all the great traits of both a beagle and a pug. They are a mixed breed, so there are differences in puggles. Some look more like a beagle, some look more like a pug.

And they are not thousands of dollars like these people would have you believe. You can find a good puggle for 200 - 500 dollars. You can even adopt puggles, so please check www.petfinder.com before buying.

Our puggle is a great watchdog. She will bark when there's a knock at the door or unsuspecting noise. But she is not mean. All puppies bite and nibble until you train them otherwise. Ours doesn't jump, but again, depends on training.

Every puggle owner I talk to has said almost identical things about their puggles, and they all love them. So ignore the jerks, and good luck with your search!

Answer 2

I stopped by a local pet feed store to buy some kibble for my pup. They now are selling puppies, most of them these so called "designer" breeds.
I talked to the manager about the 5 pups that were in the pen to inquire on the breeds- 2 of them were puggles . . from the same litter but one would never know it! Because they came from 2 different breeds, there was no way to determine which and how much of each trait they would get. One dog was 3 times bigger than its sibling, being about the size of a beagle pup- the other one was tiny, about the size of a chiuauhua. The larger one had a larger snout and the smaller one, more pug like face.
The kicker was the price- they were asking $900! each
These pups are cute, and popular but no health gaurantee, no way to meet the sir and dame to get an idea of temperment. (My pure bred Australian shepherd, with AKC papers and pedigree, and health gurantee cost $700).

Do your research and becareful when selecting a dog when you dont know its backround.

Answer 3

because some are considered a fashion designer dogs and its plenty a lot less annoying to blend both breeds: "I unquestionably have a Pug / Beagle blend." or "I unquestionably have a Puggle." human beings presently are lazy...that's the purely clarification.

Answer 4

Check your local shelter.. It's a mixed breed dog, they very often end up in shelters.
Don't get one from a so called breeder.. Puppymills over charge for mixed breed dogs.. You can save a life and get the same dog at the shelter...

You can't predict what a mixed breed dog might be like.. You should locate one at the shelter and then take your dog in to meet with it.. Make sure that they might get along well together.

Answer 5

I know of pug rescue groups. They charge $200 for pup and $100 for adults. My aunt wanted one, but decided the animal shelter was cheaper. For other pure breeds.
