Health Problems

The puggle does not have a small snout, which means they are less susceptible to respiratory problems and heat stroke. Since it is a relatively new breed, there is not enough information to determine if the breed has inherited the health problems of either the beagle or the pug. Generally, mixed breeds tend to be more healthy then pure breeds and less prone to health problems.

Sports or Activities

The puggle is considered a sweet tempered breed, that is low maintenance.² The breed potentially has inherited the traits and personalities of both dogs. They can inherit the lap dog qualities of the Pug, and also the hunting instincts and athleticism of the beagle. Puggles are not eligible for registration to any of the major kennel clubs due to its mixed breed.
