| I have people ask me all the time if I have "POCKET PUGGLES" or "MINI PUGGLES " or "TOY PUGGLES" I really have a problem with this term Since there is no 'standard' for mini or pocket or toy puggles, I never know how to answer that question. The term supposedly came from Queen Elizabeth. She was reported to have a line of beagles that could fit in a saddle bag or 'pocket bag' as it was called. (They are now extinct) Hence the term 'pocket' came into being. Trouble is there are lots of different sizes of saddle bags! Being an experienced horse "lover, owner, breeder, trail rider, enthusiast, well you get the picture... I have saddle bags that will hold:
The ads I see are all over the map and some estimate the adult size as almost 20 pounds. Your guess is as good as mine! Most the pictures I see all look like 'regular' puggles to me. What I do on my website is list the parents weight. I probably have some of the smallest, nicest beagles around. I've also been raising them longer than most, I didn't just jump on the band wagon when they got crazy popular. I also have regular sized beagles. Please let me know what you consider a 'pocket puggle'. It will really help me help you, and it will really help me to understand what people consider a pocket puggle.

| A Puggle is a crossbreed between two breeds of dogs, a Pug and a Beagle. Puggles tend to be about 15-20 pounds, and 12-15 inches at the shoulders. While colors vary, and there are completely black as well as multicolored Puggles, the vast majority are fawn colored with wrinkled black masks (similar to Pugs), but with the longer body, slightly increased size, and longer nose and floppy ears associated with Beagles. Because Puggles are a crossbreed, the appearance of the breed is less predictable than that of a purebred dog, since there is a decreased ability to predict which attributes will be inherited from which parent. |
| Temperament: As pets, Puggles have the mild mannered yet playful 'lap dog' qualities often associated with Pugs, mixed with the more energetic tendencies typical of the hunting qualities of a Beagle. A cheerful clown who loves to play but then loves to cuddle up for a little nap, Puggles are mid-sized dogs which make excellent house pets, and many Puggle owners testify to their winning personality as one of their strongest points. They have playful dispositions and retain the friendly, laid-back disposition of both breeds. Their size makes them perfect for apartments, but they do need a bit more exercise and attention than some traditional apartment dogs (Pugs included). Unlike Pugs, they generally do not snore or make snuffling noises. While they have a relatively standard bark, and vary widely as to how often they bark, some inherit the odd, nasal baying of Beagles, a mix of a baying hound and the coo-ing of a pigeon (some say sounding like 'Gizmo' from the movie Gremlins). That said, their barking is much more easy to deal with than most Beagles, and many Puggles are barely vocal at all. |
