Beagapug

Beagapug is a designer dog created by crossing a beagle with a pug. Also called a beagapug or beagle-pug mix, it is not recognized as a separate breed by major kennel clubs and is typically viewed as a hybrid or crossbreed.

In appearance, the beagapug is generally small to medium-sized, often weighing roughly 15 to 25 pounds and standing about 12 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder, though individual variation is common. The coat is short and smooth, with colors and patterns ranging from tones of fawn and brindle to black and white, reflecting its parent breeds. Facial features can vary from a more pug-like, brachycephalic look to a longer beagle-type snout, and some individuals may inherit mild brachycephalic traits that can affect breathing, heat tolerance, and snoring.

Temperament tends to be friendly and sociable, with a strong desire for companionship. Beagapugs typically do well with families and other pets but may exhibit beagle-like vocal tendencies. They can be affectionate and trainable with consistent, positive reinforcement, though some individuals may show stubborn or curious traits inherited from both parents. Socialization from a young age helps balance exercise needs and behavior.

Care and exercise requirements are moderate. Daily walks and interactive play, including scent-based games, help meet their energy and mental stimulation needs. Grooming is usually minimal—weekly brushing and regular nail, ear, and dental care are sufficient. Potential health concerns include brachycephalic airway issues, obesity risk, hip and knee problems, ear infections, and dental issues. Lifespan is typically around 12 to 15 years, with variation by individual.
