Frequently Asked Questions
About Puggle Puppies
About Puggle Puppies
What is a Puggle like?
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.
Are Puggles good family dogs?
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.
What kind of exercise do Puggles need?
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.
Do Puggles shed a lot?
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.
Where do Puggles do best — city or country?
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Shih Tzu Puppies
About Shih Tzu Puppies
Is a Shih Tzu the right dog for me?
The Shih Tzu is small, popular, and friendly, so what more could you ask for in a companion dog? Their intelligence and loyalty, along with their independence, will have you cuddling up with this bunch of cheerfulness in no time. Full-grown, they typically weigh 9-16 pounds and stand 9-11 inches tall.
Do Shih Tzus do well in a busy household?
Shih Tzus are generally excellent with children of all ages. Shih Tzus are indoor dogs who get along with other pets very well and love to cuddle in your lap, making them great family companions. You would never want to limit these small dogs to just the outdoors. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Are Shih Tzus couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?
Shih Tzu need short, daily walk but should also occasionally be exercised indoors. They do not adapt to hot weather very well, so they must be a primarily indoor dog. Care must be taken not to over or under exercise them as well. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
Is a Shih Tzu a good choice for someone with allergies?
Shih Tzus' long coat is somewhat high maintenance and requires everyday brushing to prevent tangles. These dogs should be taken to a professional groomer every couple of months. They are usually easier to maintain when their coats are clipped short, but you can't argue that those who have the long, dreamy coats are dramatic and eye catching. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance. Shih Tzus are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
What should first-time owners know about Shih Tzus?
Shih Tzus are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Since they are small, this breed can adapt to apartment living or a big house. Shih Tzus are indoor dogs who get along with other pets very well and love to cuddle in your lap, making them great family companions. They are fairly easy to train.

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
