Puggle is a trendy hybrid dog, pioneer in "Designer Dog" trend. Hybrid dogs are also known as crossbred. These dogs are usually designer dogs. They are born from parents of two different breeds. The purpose of this type of breed mixing is to get a new puppy having characteristics of both the breeds.

Puggle history is very short. Puggle was first breed by Mr. Wallace Havens, owner of Puppy Haven Kennels, probably sometime in the 1990s. Puggle is a cross between a Pug father and Beagle mother. Puggle breed was created to minimize the breathing, skin infection and common eye problems of Pugs. Puggle has many health advantages over the purebreds they are derived from.

Pugs are the short-nosed, heavyweight among small dogs. It has a charming disposition, but its squashed-up nose makes it breath nosily, they are very lively and lovable. They have few health concerns especially of breathing.

Beagles are hare-hunting breed and it is determined, strong-willed and energetic. They have very few health concerns but their personality have behavioural problems.

As both parents of Puggle are friendly and loving nature dogs, this makes Puggle a great family dog and friend. The social and loving nature of the Puggle has earned them the popularity of being an excellent family pet. They are great with children

Most litters are the result of first generation breedings between Beagles and Pugs, but there have been a few breedings of Puggles to Puggles.

Unfortunately there are no breed clubs for the Puggle and also there is no effort is going on to recognize this lovable breed. Puggle is not accepted into any major kennel club including the American or Canadian Kennel Club. The hybrid Puggle is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid club.
