How do I find a good breeder for puggles?

Question

My husband and I are wanting to find and buy a puggle because they are supposed to be good for people with allergies and not shed, plus they are cute. I know that puggles cannot be AKC certified because they are a mix breed so I'm not sure how to go about finding a trustworthy breeder. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Nowhere - Good breeders do not make mutts. If you want a puggle go to the shelter or find one through petfinder. NO legit KC allows mutts.

ADD: those websites are full of S***e. Every puggle I have met has shed and SHED and SHED and SHED.

Answer 2

There are no types of dogs that are good for allergies. I would recommend trying an animal shelter.  I cant stand breeders.  Creating these expensive designer dogs while others are left to die.  There are so many dogs out there that need homes!  Don't support breeders!!!

Answer 3

LOL never.... There is NO responsible breeder who will breed mutts!

Beagles and pugs both shed.

Beagles are hunting dogs, and pugs are lap dogs.

Beagles have long muzzles, and pugs have flat muzzles. Putting the two together would be a genetic nightmare!

Answer 4

You don't, because there aren't any.

How would you come to the conclusion that a mix of 2 shedding dogs would produce non-shedding puppies??

If you can find a pug/beagle mix in a shelter, then I highly support it, but know first that it WILL shed.

Don't EVER buy a mixed breed from a breeder; it's simply a fact that reputable breeders don't mix breeds.

If your trying to find and breeder, make sure you talk to lets say a pet store or any breeder you can find that has extensive knowledge of the other breeders in your town. You want to visit the breeder at HIS OR HER HOME. Never meet someone at a park or have them bring the pups to you. You want to see the environment the pups are in and make sure they are cared for. A few other things to watch for is ALL good breeders have the 1st set of shots and deworm done to the puppy at approx 8 weeks of age. If you find a  breeder who is letting pups earlier than 8 weeks RUN AWAY. In the first 8 weeks of life the puppy learns from the mother. It learns to socialize and good behaviour. Getting a pup from the mom too early cause have horrible consequences ie: other dog aggression, food aggression, human aggression ect. Also ask the breeder how many litters the mother has whelped beforeyou buy the pup. More than 3 litters in a dogs life is dangerous and can be a huge sign of a puppy mill.

Answer 6

Um, Puggles are a cross between a Beagle and a Pug - two HIGH shedding breeds. Allergies can be a reaction to more than just the fur or dander, but I have never heard that they are less likely to cause an allergic reaction than other dogs.

If you want a Puggle, adopt one from a shelter. There's no need to further encourage these greedy backyard breeders by purchasing from them.

Answer 7

No "good breeder" would breed a puggle. Check petfinder.com.

Answer 8

There's no such thing as a good "puggle" breeder.  Good breeders do not breed mixed breed dogs!  We euthanize thousands of dogs daily in this country..  at least 75-85% are mixes..  its just unethical to make more while so many die!

They are NOT "hypoallergenic" either.  Pugs are not good for allergies, and beagles are not good for allergies..  so this mix will also not be good for allergies!

They are a mix, there's no guarantee on size, body shape, coat type, health, temperment, color, personality, etc.

If you want this mix.. try your local shelter www.petfinder.com  I have seen many pug/beagle mixes go thru several of my local shelters!

Answer 9

Try petfinder.com.

Answer 10

NOTE** I can find a website that will claim the world will end next year!!

Good breeder and Puggle don't go together!

Answer 11

Here is the cold hard truth:

They AREN'T good for people with allergies. Pugs shed, Beagles shed. Aire-go, the mix will shed. Even if one parent, by some magic, didn't shed, it would be unpredictable to tell if the offspring would shed. With mixes, its near impossible to figure out the temperaments, shedding, sizes, etc. You may get a dog that sheds a little, and you may get a dog that sheds a lot. Its IMPOSSIBLE to tell.  

In the world of uggles and doodles, there is no such thing as a responsible breeder. Simply because no responsible breeder breeds mutts. The only people that breed mutts are back yard breeders and puppy mills, both you want to avoid, neither are trustworthy by any stretch of the imagination.

If you want a dog that's good for allergies, go to your local pound/shelter/rescue and look for a poodle or a poodle mix. Poodles don't shed in the traditional sense, and have been scientifically proven to be better for people with allergies than ANY 'engineered' breed.

The only reputable place to get a mutt, such as a puggle, is from a shelter. Otherwise, you're buying into the dark and demon industry of puppy mills and back yard breeders.

Answer 12

Breeders, I don't recommend. There are SPCA and animal shelters out there that have SO MANY mixed breeds, I am sure that you would be able to find a puggle. Every day there are THOUSANDS of animals being euthanized because people want to be picky choosy with what type of "breed" of dog they want. And the most lovable animals are the ones with stories behind them.

~~ As my family was driving to get my dad's new job application, we passed our turning lane and had to pull into a fire department off of the HWY. This little mangled kitten was wobbling around, and so I jumped out of the car to grab it before it walked onto the road. As i picked the poor thing up I could feel its ribs, and by the time I got back to the car I noticed that one of him eyes were completely glued shut with gunk.~~

He is a very happy kitty now. I would send a pic. with this but I don't have a photobucket account yet.

Answer 13

Puggles will shed like mad dogs...as pugs shed like mad dogs...as do beagles - if you want a non-allergenic, non-shedding dog, you'll need to do a little more research, and look at the dogs with hair..like poodles, etc...check the web for hypoallergenic dogs

No reputable breeder would intentionally breed a mixed breed 'designer' dog...
