Is a Puggle Right For Me?

A dog will try it's best to please you. Comfort you when you are upset. It will love you unconditionally for the person you are. He will love spending every second he can with you. He will always do his best to protect you.

However, your dog will rely on you for his most basic needs such as food, water, shelter, training, verternarian care, and of course companionship. A dog is not something you can buy and just take back because he is not what you expected. You need to be prepared for the life-long commitment. Puggles will usually live 10-15 years. Ask yourself these questions: Am I ready for this kind of responsibility? Do I have time for a dog? Do I have the means to get him the veterinary care he may need? If the answer to these questions is "Yes!" Then the next question would be...

What kind of dog should I get? Many people think a dog is a dog, this is very far from the truth. There are many differant breeds with their own traits and personalities. Same goes with hybred dogs. This is what makes the puggle so great! In the perfect Puggle Package, I like to say, you have the energy and spirit of the Beagle, and the cuddliness and loyalty of the pug. With many of the health concerns of the beagle and pug bread out of the puggle. Both the Beagle and the Pug are great with children, and are loving and affectionate. The puggle is also great for a person or family that will be cheerful and want to play fetch, but is not too high maintanence like a lab or terrier. Needing moderate excercise or a small to medium size yard, the occasional nail trimming and bath. If this sounds like what you are looking for to fit your lifestyle, then a puggle is the perfect dog for you.
