My original decision to get a puggle was based on the blog "http://prestonthepuggle.com/". He is an incredible well trained puggle and is now a big brother to a one year old boy. My little puggle is two years old and although I'm not a professional trainer I've been able to teach her some basic obedience and other fun tricks. You are right when you mention that the breed is very food oriented. But that makes training even easier. I am able to use my dog's regular kibble for training and it works great.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483870094219030379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-50923124203486646722011-09-16T20:19:41.755-07:002011-09-16T20:19:41.755-07:00I totally disagree, we have a puggle and he has be...I totally disagree, we have a puggle and he has been the BEST dog ever!

It is so stubborn that it does not respond to training, it whines and barks incessantly, and pees all over the house. I'm really starting to hate the dog, and I'm beginning to resent my boyfriend for continuing to subject me to such an awful animal. He claims that he is attached to it (and I can understand that), but I don't think I can tolerate looking at the thing for the 11 or so years left on its lifespan...Just Me, Miss Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910532499867477109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-54930092759071445172010-06-30T13:19:28.284-07:002010-06-30T13:19:28.284-07:00What a dumb article.

As with any dog consistency is key in training your dog. And this is not the latest fad in mutts as you like to call them, puggles have been around since 1992. I would think that's plenty of time to know that they are generally healthy dogs without the genetic diseases that both pugs and beagles are known for. Puggles are probably too smart for you, so YOU should definitely not own one. Maybe a toy poodle will work out for you betterLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752748245651201805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-3757384377398103962010-05-11T13:58:00.023-07:002010-05-11T13:58:00.023-07:00I really WAS a cute baby.

After their dog bit me the owners recalled several other incidents where the dog bit other people who were just sitting around minding their own business.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15329177618396115095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-58678036986638526142009-05-20T09:38:05.656-07:002009-05-20T09:38:05.656-07:00Re the Puggle issue:

Tess is food crazy and is forever looking for eats! We have her on Blue Buffalo dry which we believe is a great dog food. Our latest issue with her is that she's eating the boxer's stools. I'm picking up an RX from our vet in hopes of eliminating that problem. I've seen on the web that this can be a nutritional issue. Anyone have a comment? We think she's a great dog but definitely high energy and a bit on the pushy side. Our boxer can just sit on her to make her chill out.

No need to get nasty, however. I've trained Puggles, and they are, as I predicted, a lot like training Beagles. Beagles aren't for everyone, and neither are any other breed, including Puggles. The AKC has a procedure for developing and recognizing a new breed, and this one is still too new. They were originally selling for $2500 or more per pup, and that is a lot to spend on an unknown. I like Beagles and I like Pugs, but we still don't know how this breeding effort is panning out. There isn't enough data to know. The ones I have met have been pretty nice dogs, but they are going to be having the same issues as you would with a Beagle.<br /><br />You want a Puggle? Get one. Enjoy the dog. I just don't want to see them end up in shelters, or abused for not being the dog that people wanted when they got the puppy. If you like Beagles, you'll like a Puggle.Sam Bassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239723697858456752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-12076823516764917682009-05-14T20:29:00.000-07:002009-05-14T20:29:00.000-07:00whether or not they have health problems; puggles ...whether or not they have health problems; puggles kill many shelter dogs chances at survival. people who pay thousands for mutts who are quite frankly very ugly (and yes you stuckup morons who support bad breeding they have SERIOUS health problems) are idiots, enough said. you people who are still buying these mutt "puggles" make me sick. go light a cigar with a 100$ cause you really dont give a shit about your moneyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086445183849625114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-2953874218458665082009-02-23T21:24:00.001-08:002009-02-23T21:24:00.001-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.cheek9728https://www.blogger.com/profile/18195631088066279441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-25083861145555392152009-02-23T21:24:00.000-08:002009-02-23T21:24:00.000-08:00I own a puggle and everything you claimed is compl...I own a puggle and everything you claimed is completely untrue.

Bella, my PUGGLE, was VERY VERY easy to train, even though I moved from apartment, to a house, back to an apartment all within a year for school. Also, I have three nephews under the age of 7 and she got along with them perfectly. She loved them, protected them, kissed them every chance she got, and has never bitten anyone. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever owned a puggle? Have you ever even seen a puggle other than on the internet?

I understand you have to be somewhat general, but this is obviously a biased blog. My Puggle is very sweet, and yes, she can be annoying, but what dog isn't? My Puggle is as different as night and day from one of my co-worker's Puggles, and her two Puggles are very different from each other also. And, my Puggle is very smart.

These beautiful dogs were not even listed by AKC at the time. However, they have been one of the most sought after by royalty and gamers alike for hundreds of years. <BR/><BR/>I have a lot of experience with beagles, owning 3 AKC registered beagles myself. The AKC registered Pug we bred our Sadie with belongs to a close friend of ours who also owns 2 puggles. These are the most loving, precious animals. <BR/><BR/>By the way, ALL breeds have health issues that are identified by their individual breed. Just because AKC says something is a breed doesn't mean that others don't make wonderful members of the family.<BR/><BR/>What experience do you have that gives you the right to bash people or precious little animals that continue to bring so much joy into people's lives? <BR/><BR/>You really need to find a hobby if this is the only way you can occupy your time. <BR/><BR/>I will agree with you on ONE point. Some people who are charging up to $1500 for a dog need to be strung up by their toenails. <BR/><BR/>However, from those of us who are responsible, experienced breeders...get a liferobyn7555https://www.blogger.com/profile/17067333473329098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-7181537627220538762007-10-16T10:42:00.000-07:002007-10-16T10:42:00.000-07:00Our Puggle Rocks!!!Our Puggle Rocks!!!Oliver the Pugglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336708255782402361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17939822.post-88300473374976761812007-09-09T15:29:00.000-07:002007-09-09T15:29:00.000-07:00Just because you may have a puggle who is easy to ...Just because you may have a puggle who is easy to train doens't mean everyone will.
