Puggle???
« on: November 04, 2005, 12:22:31 pm »
A puggle is a pug/beagle mix that is becoming very popular. I saw this on the news last night and I couldn't believe it. People are paying $600 to $1000 for this mix breed. What in the world is going on? When I was growing up mixed breeds were considered mutts. I have nothing against mixed breeds. I had lived with lots of dogs growing up and the best dog we ever had was a mix. I just can't believe that people are willing to pay more for a mix breed then a purbred.

Sad, but if people are stupid to fall for it what can you do? It's as bad here in England and I'm one forum where people are always posting wanting a pedigree maltipoo, yorkiepoo or a 'teacup' version of whatever toy breed. I'm sick of explaining that they aren't purebred. I had a heated argument with one woman who bred pugs and insisted that Oripei were FCI recognized - she got the European/International Kennel Club with a good reputation mixed up with the FIC who are about as bona fide as a 3 dollar bill. Oripei have all sorts of helth problems, so why crossbreed?

The sad thing is a lot of this designer breeds cost more than a good pedigree of either breed and the parents are bad examples of their breeds with no health checks etc...

yeah... and, in my opinion, they aren't that cute...

Regular beagles are much cuter  :)
