Where To Get Puggle Puppies
You’ll be able to find this doggo anywhere you can adopt dogs. Going through a reputable breeder is the best way to go since you’ll be able to know where the dog came from. Unfortunately, since this dog breed is a hybrid, it’s not recognized by the American Kennel Club. So, you won’t be able to look on the AKC Marketplace for registered breeders. Lola…
You can do the research yourself, though. Be mindful that an ethical breeder will do the following:
- Socialize and train the puppies as early as possible
- Ensure the puppies are up to date on their vaccinations
- Have health documents and family tree history prepared for you to take home upon adoption
- Want to meet with you in person and allow you to meet the parents and the puppies
- Answer all of your questions about the process, the breeder, the breed, the parents, or the puppies
In addition, a good breeder will also health screen and genetically test the parents before breeding. They’ll also test the puppies after birth. So, you know you’re getting a healthy dog.
If you find a breeder that doesn’t do the above, you might have found a puppy mill or a backyard breeder. Avoid these breeders since they don’t breeder the dogs in healthy or safe conditions. Also, they’re more interested in making a profit rather than finding the puppies good homes.
Alternatively, you can call your local animal shelter or rescue organization for this dog breed. You might find Puggle puppies, adults, or seniors who need a loving home. Penelope…

Temperament
There’s a lot to love about Puggle puppies since they take some of the best traits from both parent breeds. For instance, Puggles are affectionate and loyal to their family members. Also, they’re great with young children, other dogs, and meeting strangers. They may bark and be a good watchdog, but they’re not aggressive.
Puggles will do well in an apartment or a bigger house with a fenced-in yard. They’ll love to be part of an active family since they have high energy levels and will enjoy going on adventures with you. For instance, an hour of exercise a day is ideal for them through long walks, hikes, fetch, and more.
Puggle Puppies – Veterinary Needs
Puggle puppies are relatively healthy dogs. However, much like their temperament, they can inherit certain health issues from both of their parent breeds. For instance, Puggles are prone to the following health conditions:
- Heatstroke
- Patellar Luxation
- Hip Dysplasia
- Obesity
For the first year of your puppy’s life, you’ll want to bring them to the vet multiple times. You’ll be able to track their growth and development. Also, you can keep them up to date with their shots and boosters. Then, every year after that, you can bring your doggo to the vet once a year for their annual checkup.
With proper care through frequent vet visits, nutrition, and exercise, Puggles have an average lifespan of about ten to 15 years. Stonehill…
Diet
With your vet’s approval, you can feed your Puggle anything that’s dog-safe. For instance, you can give them high-quality kibble or canned wet food from a commercial dog food brand or homemade dog food. Also, make sure the food is appropriate for your dog’s breed size, age, weight, and metabolism.
In addition, Puggles love to eat. So you’ll want to watch their calorie intake, so they don’t overeat, becoming obese.
Grooming
Puggles have a short and smooth coat. So, they won’t require too much grooming. However, you can bring them to a professional grooming salon once in a while to give them a good bath. They also shed a moderate amount, so you’ll want to brush their coat weekly to keep it clean and also to keep the loose hairs at bay.
Finally, be sure to brush their teeth, trim their nails, and clean their ears regularly.
