of time without protection. Have fun choosing a Puggle wardrobe, as they do need winter coats when going out in the cold. In extreme heat, don’t allow the Puggle to exercise outside without plenty of water and access to shade. This is not necessarily due to their breed combination but more to their size, as small dogs do not have the same ability to control their body temperatures as larger dogs. While their short coats are helpful in keeping them cooler in warmer climates, it doesn’t do them any favors in cold climates.
In many breeds a particular sex might be preferred to ensure desired characteristics. For example, many female dogs tend to be easier to train, while male dogs might be more territorial. Puggles also tend to have sex-specific temperaments. The male Puggle is a little lazy and laid-back, while the female Puggle is more inquisitive, energetic and eager to be involved in family activities. Both are great watchdogs; if you live in an apartment community, it will be important to train your Puggle not to bark at every little sound, only when someone is actually at your door.
The Ideal Family for a Puggle:
• Gives the dog outdoor walks (in addition to potty trips) or playtime at least once per day
• Takes the time to train and stimulate their dog
• Continually offers positive reinforcement and new stimuli in the dog’s environment
• Spends a lot of time with their dog; Puggles thrive on attention
• Gives the dog time to play with other dogs; this hybrid is very social
• Maintains a regular daily routine and schedule
• Has children in the family who love the dog
Your Puggle can’t wait for you to get home!
Keeping in mind the Puggle’s behavior characteristics, we must consider who would make an ideal Puggle owner. This isn’t a dog for everyone. An active family who has the time and desire to include the dog in their daily routines is a perfect home for a Puggle. This is a dog who needs attention and company. Puggles may become very depressed if left alone for long periods of time, especially if crated. If you’re busy, the little dog will happily trot by your side or sit under your chair, or, preferably, sit in your lap. A Puggle who spends too much time alone is likely to become destructive and develop separation anxiety.
