beaglepug

Beaglepug, also called beagle-pug mix or puggle, is a mixed-breed dog resulting from crossing a Beagle and a Pug. The pairing produces a companion dog with traits from both parental breeds and is not a standardized breed; appearances vary.

Size and coat: Beaglepugs typically stand 12 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh about 15 to 30 pounds. The coat is short and smooth, with colors that can include fawn, brindle, black, and white. Ears are usually long and droopy like a beagle, and the face may be pug-like with a short muzzle; some individuals resemble one parent more than the other.

Temperament and exercise: They are usually friendly, sociable, and good with families and other pets. They may be relatively vocal and have a strong scent drive inherited from the beagle. Regular training and early socialization are important; some individuals can be independent or stubborn. With adequate exercise, they can adapt to apartment living or a house with a yard.

Health and care: Health varies as a crossbreed, but beaglepugs may inherit brachycephalic traits from the pug and susceptibility to the beagle’s ear infections and allergies. Obesity is a concern, so routine veterinary care, dental hygiene, ear cleaning, and regular activity are recommended. Lifespan is typically around 12 to 15 years.

Breeding and recognition: Beaglepug is not recognized as a distinct breed by major kennel clubs. It is produced by various breeders and rescue groups. Potential owners are advised to seek responsible sources, ensure health testing where possible, and assess temperament and grooming needs before adoption.
