No it will not "shed and become short"
However "puggles" have been seen with longer hair. That's what happens when you start screwing with the genes of two DIFFERENT Breeds you never really know what you will get.
Many times beagle mixes get longer hair and a beagle mix is as good as a beagle when you are breeding mutts.

A puggle is not a pure bred dog.. It is pug x poodle. You get what you get. The people who breed these dogs do so only to fill a sick need by the public. There is no standard, there is no way to know what the dogs will be like at all. coatwise, sizewise, temperament or anything at all. If you dog has a longcoat now, it's likely that your dog will have a long coat as an adult. Don't pay purebred prices for a mutt.

apparently this is not actually a puggle as both the beagle and pug are short hair dogs neither are born with long hair and sehd out to short. tehre is another breed mixed in to the dog. no short hair dog for that matter is going to have long hair at puppyhood and shed ot short hair.

You bought from a backyard breeder or puppy miller who will tell you anything to sell a dog. Really to sell an overpriced mutt because puggles are not a breed; they are a pug/poodle mix (aka a mutt, mongrel, mixed breed). Who knows what breeds your dog really is? But it doesn't matter, it is still a mixed breed and could have been gotten at the pound for less than $100 bucks!
Don't support the puppy mill industry and bad breeders everywhere. Don't buy a designer dog. No reputable breeder will mix breeds, so cockapoo and labradoodles and goldadors are all bred by backyard breeders or in puppy mills. Meaning your expensive mixed breed dog has a very high chance of coming with a mirage of health problems due to inbreeding, lack of quality vet care, improper socialization, and substandard living conditions. Puppy mills and backyard breeders are havens for various kinds of intestinal worms, infectious diseases, parvo, distemper, kennel cough, and many more. You are taking a very big risk by buying such a dog - even at a pet store which gets its puppies from puppy mills, anyway.
You are likely to be investing a veterinarian's and trainer's gold mine - looking at lifelong health and emotional problems. If you want a mixed breed, go to the pound and pick out a cutie that you evaluate for temperament and any signs of aggression. Or if go through a rescue that picks up unwanted animals, has them spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treat behavioral and emotional problems, as well as often housing the animals in homes instead of kennels and shelter facilities - offering you a wealth of information on behavior and other perks such as housetraining, crate training, being around kids, dogs, and cats, etc.
Or go to a reputable breeder for a pure bred dog - although there are lots of pure breed rescus out there, too.

Your dog is a mutt. The thing about mutts is that it's literally a crap-shot as to which genes the dog will inherit from both parents. There is no consistency or predictability with mixed breed dogs. Six puppies in one litter and every single one of them can look totally different. No one, not even the breeder, can tell you why your puppy has long hair. If it is not very long, it could just be a puppy coat, in which case it will shed out and be replaced by an adult coat that may or may not be a different length or texture. Or there could be some breed other than just beagle and pug in the mix causing your dog to have long hair, in which case your dog will always have long hair.

Not sure, but this is why people should stop breeding mutts and calling them real breeds! You never know what you will end up with when you start mixing genes of different breeds. The puggle is not a real breed, it is a mixed breed. And you cannot be guaranteed what it will look like, act like, or what color it will be despite what people want to guarantee. Sorry, but next time go to to a shelter and get a real mutt instead of a designer mutt.

Your dog could be a beagle-pug mix but it's unlikely.
Short-coated breeds like pugs and beagles do not start off with a long coat. Short-coated breeds like pugs and beagles always have short coats.
She's probably a mix of something else. But that's what happens when you buy mutt puppies from people who intentionally breed mutts. People who breed mutts on purpose are irresponsible, disreputable, and unethical (that's why they're called "puppy pimps")
Enjoy your puppy for who she is, not what you think she is or what you want her to be. She's probably very sweet and very cute, regardless of what she's mixed with.
(Don't forget to get her spayed before she's 6 months old)

A Puggle is NOT a purebred. It's just another mixed breed. If the breeder was willing to mix 2 dogs who is to say that there is not more than 2 dogs in there. No one. There could be several breeds mixed in there. If ones a long coat your pup could be a long coat too.
I have never heard of a long coat shedding to being a short coat. Some pups are born with a short coat and produce a long like long coat Chihuahua's, but I have not heard of it the other way around.
I would get used to having a long coat as that's what you may well end up with. Just remember when you get a mixed breed puppy it's always going to be a crap shot what you get. Just love him for what he is and watever length his coat may be that's what you have. Don't look for it to conform to any standard as there is not one for mutts.

Well a "puggle" is not a breed, it's a mutt made by breeders trying to make money. It may be that your dog is mixed with another breed or just had poor breeding and the hair may or may not change. Beagles and Pugs both have short hair so yours should too. Don't worry about what your dog looks like just enjoy her and don't get anymore dogs from irresponsible breeders, you never know what you're getting.
