Puggles bring together the silliness of a Pug with the loving devotion of a Beagle. These pups can be tough to predict, but at their best, they’re low-maintenance, family-friendly companions that want nothing more than to be by your side. Full-grown, they typically weigh 18-30 pounds and stand 13-15 inches tall.

Puggles are generally excellent with children of all ages. Puggles love being part of the family, and they get along great with kids, cats, and other dogs. They should be watched around small children to make sure the kids are not too rough. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

Puggles have average energy levels, so they’re content with taking a nice walk or having playtime in the yard each day. However, both Pugs and Beagles have hearty appetites, so it’s important to keep them active enough to burn off all those calories and avoid putting on too much weight. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

Puggles are one of the most low-maintenance breeds around when it comes to grooming and maintenance. They have short fur that varies in color and is fairly easy to maintain. Both Beagles and Pugs shed a lot, though, so keep a brush handy at all times to keep their hair under control. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Puggles are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. The Puggle's size and low-key lifestyle make them perfect for apartment living. They need to live inside with the family, though, and may be prone to barking and howling if their Beagle side is strong. They are can be stubborn and challenging to train.

Beagles are small dogs with incredibly powerful noses. They love hunting and will follow any interesting scent they come across. Beagles are friendly and playful, but they do like to do things their own way. If you’re okay with a strong-minded dog, a Beagle’s spunky, fun and friendly personality will steal your heart. Full-grown, they typically weigh 20-30 pounds and stand 13-15 inches tall.

Beagles are generally excellent with children of all ages. They are friendly playmates with children and most other dogs. Beagles can learn to get along with cats if raised with them, but remember, they’re hunting dogs, so keep an eye on them when they’re together just to be sure. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.

Beagles love hunting, but their favorite part about this activity is being allowed to follow their nose to their heart's content. If you’re a hunter, take them with you in the field and you’ll have a faithful ally always. They’ll also enjoy long walks or hikes, especially if you let them stick their nose around to investigate what else has been in the area. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

A Beagle’s short hair is relatively low-maintenance. Brushing their hair or going through it with a hound mitt once or twice a week will get rid of anything they’ve brought back into the house with them and help remove dead hair. Beagles do shed, but these weekly brushings will help cut back on the amount of hair you find in your house. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Beagles are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. The happiest Beagles have access to a large, safe, outdoors play area but can come back inside to live with their families. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
