When you have a Pug mixed with a Beagle, the outcome is a fun-loving and friendly dog with cuteness overloaded. Save their barking that could get a little annoying if they have taken more to the Beagle’s side, the Puggle is an absolute pleasure to keep.
Don’t be astonished if your Puggle loves remaining glued to you all day and sleep uninterruptedly for about 12 hours. It could be following its Pug parent’s footsteps in this regard.
Train them on socialization and obedience from the beginning to control their annoying habits like the Beagle-like chasing instinct.
