Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

About the Puggle

The Puggle is a cross between a Pug and a Beagle. The Royal Kennel Club (RKC) does not recognise it as a breed, so there is no breed standard and no fixed size, colour or coat. The RKC notes that crossbreeds show a varying mix of their parents' traits, so the parent breeds are the best guide. Puggles are not eligible for the RKC Breed Register; like other crossbreeds they can be recorded on the Activity Register, which opens up agility, obedience, rally and similar events.

The parent breeds

The Pug, a Toy breed, was bred purely as a companion. The RKC traces it to China, and dogs of this type are thought to have reached the Netherlands with Dutch traders in the 16th century. The Beagle, the smallest British pack hound, had become established in England by the 1400s, bred to hunt by scent, mainly hare, with the hunters following on foot.

Size and build

The RKC rates both parents as small. The Pug standard gives an ideal weight of 6.3-8.1 kg, and the Beagle standard a desirable height at the withers of 33-40 cm. A Puggle can land anywhere between the two, and its muzzle may be short like the Pug's or longer like the Beagle's.

Coat and grooming

Both parents have short coats that shed, and the RKC suggests a weekly groom for each. If a Puggle has facial folds, check them often: the RKC notes that skin folds on flat-faced dogs create warm, damp spots where bacteria and yeast can grow.

Exercise, temperament and home life

The RKC suggests up to an hour of exercise a day for each parent. Pugs tolerate heat, humidity and strenuous exercise poorly because of their flat faces, while Beagles do best with secure surroundings because an interesting scent can lead them astray. The Pug standard looks for an even-tempered, happy, lively dog, and the RKC adds that Pugs are affectionate but can be strong-willed and prone to separation anxiety. The Beagle standard asks for an amiable, alert hound, and the RKC describes the breed as sociable and happiest with company. A Puggle is likely to suit a home where someone is usually around. The RKC gives lifespans of over 10 years for the Pug and over 12 for the Beagle. Compare the parents on our Pug and Beagle pages, or browse other crossbreeds.

Puggle health tests

A Puggle has no RKC health tests of its own. The RKC's advice for anyone breeding a cross is to use the screening schemes and DNA tests recommended for both parent breeds. For the Pug, the Good Practice tests are a breathing assessment for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and an eye examination; Best Practice adds a DNA test for Pug dog encephalitis (PDE), reported as a risk level rather than a definite result, and hip scoring. For the Beagle, DNA tests for Lafora's disease and neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration (NCCD) are Good Practice, with three more DNA tests at Best Practice level. The RKC describes the Beagle conditions as autosomal recessive: a dog is affected only if it inherits a faulty copy from each parent, while a carrier shows no signs but can pass the variant on. This matters most when Puggles are bred together or back to a parent breed. The Respiratory Function Grading Scheme covers a list of breeds and needs the dog's RKC registration certificate, so it applies to the Pug parent rather than the puppies; the BVA eye scheme is open to crossbreeds. On Breed Watch the Pug is in Category 3 and the Beagle in Category 1. No test can guarantee a puppy's future health.

Pug parent: RKC/University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading (RFG) Scheme for BOAS (Good Practice)
Pug parent: BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme (Good Practice)
Pug parent: DNA test for Pug dog encephalitis (PDE), a risk test (Best Practice)
Pug parent: BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (Best Practice)
Beagle parent: DNA test for Lafora's disease (Good Practice)
Beagle parent: DNA test for neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration (NCCD) (Good Practice)
Beagle parent: DNA test for Factor VII deficiency (FVIID) (Best Practice)
Beagle parent: DNA test for Imerslund-Gräsbeck syndrome (IGS-2) (Best Practice)
Beagle parent: DNA test for Musladin-Lueke syndrome (MLS) (Best Practice)
Optional for the Pug parent: Pug Breed Council 5 Star Health Scheme, which adds a visual health assessment, patella checks and hemivertebrae X-rays
Breed Watch: Pug Category 3 (visible concerns tied to exaggerated physical features), Beagle Category 1; the Puggle itself is not categorised

Choosing a Puggle breeder

A careful Puggle breeder can show you health paperwork for both parents. On the Pug side, expect a current RFG grade from an approved assessor, an eye certificate and a PDE result; on the Beagle side, DNA results for Lafora's disease and NCCD, ideally with FVIID, IGS and MLS as well. Results for RKC-registered parents appear on the Health Test Results Finder. The RKC's advice for crossbreeds is to see the mother with her puppies and to ask about the father and the health tests both parents have had. Watch how the mother and puppies breathe at rest and after play, as laboured or noisy breathing is among the Breed Watch concerns listed for Pugs. The RKC will not register merle Pugs, as in that breed the gene raises the risk of hearing and sight problems, so query any Puggle sold as merle. In England, anyone who breeds three or more litters in 12 months and sells any of the puppies, or runs a business breeding and advertising dogs, needs a council licence and must show the licence number in adverts. Our buyer safety guide covers viewing a litter and paying deposits safely.

Puggle questions

Is the Puggle recognised by The Royal Kennel Club?

No. The Puggle is a Pug and Beagle crossbreed, not a recognised breed, so it has no breed standard and is not eligible for the RKC Breed Register or breed shows. The RKC restricts crossbreed registration to its Activity Register, which lets dogs take part in agility, flyball, heelwork to music, obedience, rally and working trials.

Do Puggles have breathing problems?

Some may. A Puggle can inherit a face closer to the Pug's, and the RKC explains that in some flat-faced dogs the soft tissue of the nose and throat is too much for the airway, a condition called BOAS. Not every Puggle will be affected, which is why the Pug parent should have a grade under the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme. Ask to see it, and watch how the puppies breathe.

How big does a Puggle get?

There is no set size. The RKC rates both parents as small: the Pug standard gives an ideal weight of 6.3-8.1 kg and the Beagle standard a height of 33-40 cm at the withers. A Puggle is likely to fall somewhere between its parents, and puppies in the same litter can vary.

Do Puggles shed?

Expect them to. The RKC lists both the Pug and the Beagle as short-coated breeds that shed, and it suggests grooming each about once a week.
