What the heck is a Puggles?

Puggles are a Pug and Beagle mix, and they are adorable.  They are mild mannered lap dogs like the Pug, mixed with the energetic tendencies of a Beagle.

Puggle puppies are very happy and playful, and as puppies, they tend to go, go, go, and then bam!  Down for a nap!

They are very sweet dogs that require little mainenance and are great with children.

This is my Puggles.  Her name is Bandit.  We got her after I had to put down my Bichon Frise after 15 wonderful years with her.  Bandit is a little spitfire sometimes, but we wouldn't trade her for the world!

She makes the typical puggle snorting noises, but what is funny, I'm beginning to tell the difference between her snorts.  OK, you can think I'm crazy, but I know when she is tired, hungry, or has to go outside, by what kind of "snort" she does.  I'm not right all the time, but she is a little character!

The great thing about Puggles are their loyalty and affection.  I have extreme anxiety, and there's nothing like snuggling with my Puggles to bring it under control.  In fact, there have been studies saying that just petting puppies can lower anxiety and depression.
