Puggles can be a little cocky!

So little and cute at 3 months old!

Puggle Personality

Whenever you mix two breeds, it’s hard to tell what the outcome will be. It seems as though Puggles get either all of the worst traits of each breed or all of the best traits. For me, it’s a love/hate relationship with Hazel. She’s stubborn, hyper, likes to eat towels or any other kind of material, eats her poop, follows us around and likes to sleep. Her favorite pastimes include barking at every noise she hears until she howls like a Beagle, farting, and following her nose like a Beagle. She’s also very smart, but pretends to be stupid (she acts like she doesn’t know better than to pull Kleenexes out of the trashcan, but we know she does!). Most Puggles like to cuddle, but Hazel hates it. If we pet her, she’ll get up and leave. But, she does like to give kisses and would lick all the skin off of our noses and hands if we let her! Puggles are usually not “yip-yip” dogs as Kris likes to say – they have some power behind their bark. Their stocky Pug chests make them perfect to play with and not have to worry about hurting them. Hazel likes to rough house with Kris, and he loves her for that.

Most Puggles have sweet personalities and get along well with other dogs and children. Puggles are very friendly – they want to know everybody! They have a lot of energy, and as they get older (over 1 year old) they crash from playing a lot sooner. Hazel used to want to play fetch for a half hour to an hour before she was tired. Since she was about two years old though, she’s done in about 10-15 minutes. If she hasn’t seen us all day, she’ll run around the house like a banshee for about 5 minutes and then sit and watch what we’re doing. She’s always ready to join us on the couch with a chew toy. A 15-minute walk is usually all a Puggle needs to calm down for the day.

The bottom line for the majority of Puggles is: friendly, loyal, and energetic.

Hello and Welcome

Welcome to Puggle Place! This blog is about all things Puggle, which is a Beagle mixed with a Pug.

The resident Puggle is my own, Hazel. She's a baby in this picture; she's all grown up now.

Puggles like to bark, and they usually end up howling at the end of their barks - pretty cute! The first few times, at least. Some Puggles like to snuggle, but unfortunately Hazel does not. Most puggles are hyper and stubborn. The worst of both worlds! But, they are very loyal and protective of their people and they never want to be more than a few steps away from you. They are entertaining, annoying, but too cute to stay mad at for too long!
