Update: We are looking for pocket puggles about April 15th. Our little pocket beagle, Beau, is the Dad
Are you familiar with Puggles? Here is what CBS had to say about Puggles in their special on Designer Dogs.  The puggle is a relatively new hybrid dog breed produced by mating a select female beagle to a select male pug, resulting in a very sweet-tempered, affectionate (but not yippy, hyper, or insecure) puppy that is very low-maintenance, family-friendly (great with children and other dogs), loose-skinned, wrinkly-faced and endearing in both personality and looks.
Well into their adult lives, puggles exemplify the best of what dogs are all about -- loyalty, companionship, and affection, resulting in a breed that is very eager to please its owner. It has been proven over time that puggle owners feel their puggles change their own family chemistry for the better, giving everyone a "lift" by their happy, can-do natures. Puggles are durable, hardy dogs that can easily take a bit of rough-housing (boys love them for this). Girls appreciate their affectionate, lap-loving qualities.
Typical of most hybrid breeds, Puggles display no congenital defects or particular health concerns.
We  agree! The Mom is my dog soul mate and constant companion, Opie. Opie is a small black pug who thinks that she must go everywhere with me. To the barn, to the store.. You see me, you see my pug. Her daughter, Gracie, is an amazing dog and is scheduled to have the next litter of pocket puggles. Gracie is the most athletic dog I have ever seen. She can run, dive and dart so fast that it takes several member of My Pack to catch her.. Sometimes! Yet she will fly to me at the sound of her name. Cuddle up in a heart beat and is really an amazing dog with a smile that will capture your heart. The next litter is due early in 2010. Both the Mom and the Dad weigh 8 lbs so we are hoping for some very little pocket puggles.
