I Love My Puggle from Schmeg.com

   

What in the world is a puggle?? Well, one day a pug was off gallivanting around when he came across a spirited little beagle-- their eyes met and well.... the rest is history!

Puggles are the "trendy" new dog of the year. They are starting to pop up in more places and are receiving more press at the moment than other breeds. This is naturally driving up prices, but, fortunately, I bought my puggle before the prices went too high. I originally wanted to buy a pug, but there were none available at the time, though a litter of puggles was. The pups were advertised at $250 each, less than 1/3 the price of a pug. That still seemed expensive to me, for what was essentially a mutt or so I thought.

A little background on the 2 breeds; Beagles are high-strung but very sporty, while pugs are not very athletic, but have a calm, relaxing demeanor. Mix the 2 together and you have the best attributes of both. I was curious so I went and visited them. They, of course, were very cute and charming. Since I couldn't find a pug and really wanted a dog, I went ahead and purchased one, a cute little female... What a great decision that was! :)

A puggle combines the strong physical attributes of the beagle with the even, mellow temperament of the pug, making for a calm small dog-- how rare is that? They have the wrinkled face of a pug while having the longer legs of a beagle.

Look at some of the puggle pictures that I have, and see for yourself how cute they are!

My puggle is now 3 years old and she is my coolest buddy!
