Puggle

Dog breed profile

The Puggle is a hybrid dog breed resulting from the cross between a Pug and a Beagle, developed in the United States to blend the best qualities of both breeds.

This breed typically has a short, smooth coat that requires moderate grooming and sheds at a medium level. Puggles are moderately energetic and benefit from daily exercise such as walks and playtime.
