A REAL "Puggle" is a baby echidna (http://www.lexicon.net/waterwisp/Puggles.html). A "Puggle" dog is an overpriced Pug/Beagle mutt with a silly name slapped on it by BYBers & Puppymillers. Pugs are known to have breathing problems & by mixing this breed with a Beagle, a hyperactive breed that LOVES to use it's nose is like a Recipe for Disaster! The dog will literally drop dead after running a few laps under the sun. Also, these mutts are commonly known to have serious health issues such as reverse sneezing, hip dysplasia & deformities such as severe undershot bite. Here's a video of a Pug/Beagle mix having a reverse sneeze: http://www.youtube.com/...&feature=related Although reverse sneezing is not life threatening, it can be very frightening for a 1st time dog owner to witness such thing happening to their beloved pet. Check this out too: http://www.pugs.org/Puggles.htm Why not get a well-bred Pug or a Beagle? Why want to get an overpriced mutt with so much health issues? If you want to get a mixed breed, never get one from a breeder. Always get one from a shelter or a rescuer. You may not find a Pug/Beagle mix but there are other mixed breeds available that will suit your lifestyle perfectly. Hope I helped. "Multi BIS (local) GreatGrowkenn Agnes CGC" is ranked #5 (all-breed) in Best Malaysian Bred Dog Of The Year 2010"
