Never heard of or seen the puggle x breed before. I just googled them... they are very sweet. But that shouldn't really be ones main priority when purchasing a dog imo.

About a month ago I had never even heard of a puggle..

I was looking at pugs and just stumbled across the puggle and thought it was a lovely looking dog.. After looking at Puggle Love UK which is a site all about puggles (never would have guessed) I totally fell in love with them.. They are beautiful dogs..

I was put off pugs because I read they suffer with breathing problems..

Whats all the fuss about crossbreads, are they bad pets, do they have lots of health problems ect...

I don't really get why people are so against them? Can someone explain?

I am looking to buy a puggle, so I really do want to know the goods and bads of this dog..

what people are agianst is this...is say you cross a pug(for instants) with say a beagle,you need to know what health problems a pug has,and what health problems beagles have...because when you crossbreed them you are likely to have pups with health issues from both sides...i hope this explains.

Ah right ok, yeah, that makes sense, is it possible that by crossbreeding you might be able to put right some of the known health problems..

Eg, the pugs squashed face causes them to have eye problems and breathing problems and they are snore, loudly!

By crossing them with a beagle they have a less squashed face? Could this solve this problem ect..

i see where your coming from there,but as i've never bred dogs i can only assume that it would take a long time to breed out the bad traits..i'm sure other members with much more knowledge will explain better.

Personally I have nothing against the dogs,I have a major problem with those Breeders,breeding crossbreeds,sticking a high price on them and selling them with no health tests.

Some health problems are hereditary so will be passed on to the off spring regardless,this is why good breeders test for known conditions within there chosen breed,so they can breed the best two dogs,free from Hereditary conditions.
Another consideration is not all pups will be the same,they will take on different characteristics and traits,be completely different from one another in looks and personality.

We also have a major rescue crisis in the UK,with dogs been put on the PTS lists,because they don't have a secure rescue place,or a home.One dog is PTS every 80 minutes in the UK - These dogs didn't ask to be born either,we live in a very overpopuated dog world,so why deliberatly breed crossbreeds ?

My word you're some 'stroppy' young woman
The question was "What's the general view on Puggles" and that is what poeple are answering.
Calm down, nobody is going to say anything bad about Toby
