Aren't there enough mutts in the UK to adopt? Why would you spend money, time and effort importing a first generation cross, in short a mutt? 'Puggles' are not a breed, they are a fad designer mutt here in the US, they will have their day in sun and then they'll be a dime a dozen in all the shelters, they already are, look at Petfinders. It makes absolutely no sense to import one to Britain.

"It makes absolutely no sense to import one to Britain."

Not only does it make NO sense at all. The UK has strict import rules and Quarantines. Not only would I not pay 50cents for a mutt puggle I certainly would not pay the 1000's of $$$ it would cost to ship it overseas. You can likely find a nice little mutt dog in your own shelter or pound or if you like pugs buy a pug or if you like beagles buy a beagle..

I wouldn't put a dog through that if it wasn't necessary. I'm sure there are puggles in the UK if you kept searching. I hope you don't get taken, because as you probably know, they charge a bundle for those designer mixes. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

It helps if you don't give the person an attitude right off the bat. Now I doubt she'll come back.

The reason people are so offensive to this is because the "puggle" is not a breed, it's a mix. You can get the same mix that you pay quite a bit of money for at the shelter for a low adoption fee. It's not the money that's the issue, it's the fact that millions of healthy, well tempered animals are put to sleep every year because there are not enough homes. If you must breed, do it for the right reasons. People that breed mutts on purpose are not breeding for the right reasons.

Go visit some local shelters, I bet you will find a pug/beagle mix or at least one of the two.

I agree, Puggles are a mix that are overpopulated here in the states already. I'm surprised that the fad hasnt made it to your area yet. I have never shipped a dog before, but I would guess it is going to be quite expensive with the possible problems with quarantine, importing regulations, not to mention airfare, etc.
Its your money, but that seems like alot to spend .....just my opinion, I would check in your area more thoroughly before going this route, but if you do choose to....let us know what ended up being involved and the requirements, I would be interested to know how much hassle is involved.

I personally would never put any puppy through that. I'd rather get a breed or mix I may not want, than fulfill my wants and put a puppy through that.

i am from the uk, and i think that it would be great if puggles where bred over here. they may be classed as "mutts" but they are lovely looking dogs. a dog is a mans best freiend after all so they would be loved and well looked after. if anyone could help me in my quest to find a uk breeder it would be much apreciated...

Hi Jackie

Hopefully you are still reading this thread........... I am from the UK and I am not sure if Puggles are available here - but chances are, if there is money to be made (like all breeds and mixes), they're here. Check out 'champdogs.co.uk' - it is a great forum like TP but obviously based here in the UK. There may be people on that site that are able to tell you more about possible problems with the pug-beagle mix (there are some and you must investigate!) and if there are any available locally. Also, check out the 'pug rescue' site and the 'beagle rescue' site.

Also, you have inadvertantly walked in on a somewhat "hot" topic regarding Puggles. You weren't to know and didn't deserve some of the snaps you received. It's unfortunate as this is what these forums are supposed to be about - gathering information, processing information and making a decision that is right for you, your potential dog and thereby (hopefully) for all dogs.

To some of the other posters - hardly fair. She never said a 'puggle' was a breed. I understand your frustration but wouldn't it be better to provide information rather than judgement?

This thread is over a year old, the OP I dont think is here anymore.
People are like slinky's, not really good for much. But its still fun to push them down the stairs.
