puggle Health Concerns |
|
Unlike their full-blooded "cousins", Puggles do not experience the same issues that some find troublesome. Full blooded Pugs can suffer from breathing complications and intolerance to warmer temperatures since their muzzle is basically flat against their face. Purebred Beagles love to hunt and will often become distracted by a scent and wander away from home if left unattended. Because of this, beagles need to be kept indoors, on a leash or in a large run when not accompanied by their human family. Puggles have an elongated muzzle inherited from their mother and do not become overly distracted by scents. This complimentary blending creates a well rounded, attractive dog that likes to stay close to their owner.
Although the Puggle is a mixed or hybrid dog, a true Puggle has verifiable (registered) purebred parents. Without the registration, anyone can tell you the parents are purebred. We've also seen many "teacup" or "toy" sized Puggles advertised. Although small purebred beagles (8-10") and pugs do exist, many of the tiny beagles you see are actually cross bred with another breed to create their small size. These small beagles or pugs appear under various names and many times their breeders will tell you they are purebred when they're not. Depending on what breeds are present, those Puggles may have a different disposition and appearance than purebred Beagle and Pug crosses do. |

I will update this section as more information becomes available. Your puppy care package includes additional information on these health concerns. |
