Puggle
Kind heart behind a determined mug
Puggles 101
Crossbred groupThe Puggle is one of the few popular crossbreds that don't include a Poodle. They're a cross of a Beagle with a Pug. The result is a dog with a nose that's longer than a Pug's, which, the breed's creators say, should help resolve some of the health issues of the latter breed. Given the Beagle's influence on this pairing, it's no surprise that the Puggle typically has a more athletic body type.

Puggle coat care and colors
The Puggle typically has a short, dense coat that can be maintained with regular brushing. Any skin folds also need regular attention: Check for redness or any odors and keep folds clean and dry. Pugs are notorious for fighting nail trims, so make sure your Puggle is acclimated to this necessary procedure from an early age.
How often should I bathe my Puggle?
Puggles can be bathed monthly, weekly or as needed (if they roll in mud, for example!). Use a pet-specific shampoo and conditioner or an all-in-one product. If your dog’s coat or skin isn’t looking healthy, check with your veterinary healthcare team to see what might be causing the problem.
Should I cut my Puggle’s hair?
The Puggle doesn't need haircuts.
What kind of coat does my Puggle have?
As with other crossbreds, coat type will vary with the Puggle, although most have a variation of short, smooth fur.
