Getting to know what kind of a dog a Puggle is, is the first step towards buying a Puggle as a pet. This would provide you with a whole new outlook on how to deal with your new puppy and what things you need to look out for when your small puppy grows up into a big Puggle dog.
The first thing you should understand is that Puggles do not gain much height or weight while growing up, your Puggle will most likely weigh 14-20 pounds and have a height of 13-15 as an adult, the same as that of a puppy. This means that even a full grown and matured puppy will look just like he was as a puppy, and can easy taken to places in a cart or keep on laps without any kind of problems (unless of course they refuse to stay still and want to play!).
A Puggle, if you were unaware of it, is a cross between a Beagle and a Pug dog. To be considered a true blue Puggle puppy it needs to be bred from a pure bred Beagle mother and a pure bred Pug father. The resulting Puggle puppy can have anything between mainly Beagle features to mainly Pug-like features.
If you are looking for a choice of coat for your new Puggle puppy, then you can choose from several different colors such as black, silver, tan color, beige and sometimes a fawn and white-spotted mix. The Puggle puppy’s coat is generally short, smooth and requires very less grooming.
A Puggle has a characteristic wrinkled face and the droopy ears of its parents and also exhibits a tendency to be short with a wiggly tail. Since a Puggle is a very loving and attention seeking dog it requires more time being spent on loving and caring for it than on things such as grooming.
A Puggle puppy is very affectionate in nature and is full of energy, it loves to play and that is why it makes a great family member especially if there are young children around to play with. If they are introduced to the concept of socializing at an early age, Puggle puppies can be very social and friendly in nature.
However it is advised not to mistake this friendliness as anything more than a good temperament, as Puggles can be easily rained to become good watch dogs. Even though they do not howl like their Beagle mother, they can surely give a warning bark if they happen to see a stranger wandering by.
Even though Puggles are very energetic and also highly mischievous, they are very intelligent and highly trainable. They also have good listening skills and are surely bound to their masters.
The best traits about your Puggle puppy however, all lies in his adorable features. The wrinkled-up appearance and the droopy ears make your Puggle puppy a truly captivating puppy and not one to be overlooked by anyone.
