Puggles are designer dogs, and a puggle puppy can cost you anywhere from $1000 to $2000 per pup. It is your responsibility to make sure you are purchasing your dog from a reputable and responsible breeder, as unfortunately, there are far too many puppy farms farming this breed of dog.

The Puggle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Beagle and the Pug. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses. The first Puggles ever bred were bred by a breeder named Wallace Havens.

The Puggle gets along well with children, other dogs and household pets. It may show signs of jealousy, however, if it feel ignored by it's owner.

Wisconsin breeder Wallace Havens bred the first puggle in the 1980s. Havens coined the name puggle and was the first to register the crossbreed with the American Canine Hybrid Club, an organization that tracks crossbred dogs. Although Havens was the first to officially breed a puggle, the history of puggles dates back to the 1980s when U.S. breeders experimented with creating new dogs. By 2000, puggles were being sold commercially to pet owners wanting to own a different, distinctive dog. No major kennel clubs or other breed registries – such as American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, and Canadian Kennel Club – recognize puggles as a dog breed. Puggles are an intentionally crossbred form of mongrel, and have sometimes been called a designer dog.
