All very well putting opinions across but think it should be done in a diplomatic way, even those involved in rescues with strong opinions. Not the dog's or owner's fault he exists, so long as he's looked after and loved forever what's the problem?

The problem is that others doing their "research" into these "breeds" pick out what they want to read or hear and more get produced. There were two crosses last time I was at Wood Green that may have been pug x beagle and the mix of a brachycephalic face with a scent hound is just cruel.
Callling him the mix he is rather than a cutesy made up name would be a good start - note the OP called the three I mentioned cross breeds.

I know, I agree and I wasn't having a dig at you - not intentionally, just think that sometimes everyone comes on here all guns blazing and not always necessary, I've had it happen to me I've just developed thick skin lol

ETA the OP only wanted to know if anyone else had one
 
s4sugar - i am really not interested in what you have to say. I have done my research and my PUGGLE (yes that is what he is) has a home for life and he is much loved and very well taken care of.
 
This is the only pic i have of him standing!! http://s616.photobucket.com/albums/tt247/Twerd_01/CB/?action=view&current=102.jpg

He is actually a second Generation puggle (so his parents were puggles) His mum was black and his dad tri coloured.

The first Generation are more pug like and are the fawn colour, the second generation hasnt got so much of a "squashed face" like the first generation has.....if that makes sense!!!
 
He's lovely! I can see why you get the boxer comments but you can clearly see both breeds there.

I have a Sprocker puppy, but due to the amount of people who get on the defensive when I call her that I introduce her as a springer x cocker most of the time.
 
Wow, it's a monsta thread!!!

He looks and sounds like a lovely boy but like others, not what I was expecting at all, proving breeding these sorts of crossbreeds is a total crapshoot - you don't know what you are going to get. Although I realise this applies to purebreds too :p

I'll admit I do not agree with breeding these types of dogs (in terms of, breeding 'fashionable' crossbreeds, giving them an endearing name, charging (more?) for them, breeding breeds together that do not compliment each other in terms of their original use/instincts - I feel just as strongly about say, crossing my own breed, the GSD, with a husky - totally different types of dog, they may both have pointy ears but totally unsuited to each other - at least with a sprocker the type and the breed traits/drive is similar) but he was, he's here, he is in your home, you love him, he's not going anywhere, he is healthy and that is what is important x

Hope you don't think I am hating on you, I am not, your dog looks and sounds like a dude, I am just being honest with my feelings about the bigger picture :)
 
Thanks for your comments CaveCanem. Everyone has different opinions and thats fine, what i dont like is people jumping down my throat when all i done was ask an innocent question.

People can tell me till they are blue in the face that they think the breeding is wrong / cruel / whatever, im not interested. I have my little doggy who i love to pieces and dont care what negative comments people have regarding his breed / breeding.

I choose to have a Puggle, others may not......this is my choice and that is theirs???

Dont think i am aiming this at you cavecanem, its just a general post :)

Just found this can you believe it, more than you would pay for a pedigree health tested dog.

We paid £550 for our health tested pedigree Lancashire Heeler pup with show winning parents. Our pup will be shown and hopefully bred if she is good enough and this year there was only 37 puppies registered to 10 litters. No wonder they are a vunerable breed.

Im not criticising the op but Labradoodles and the like are bred to make money not to improve the breed because they are not a breed and its all the hype which goes with these dogs which unsuspecting people believe and buy.
 
Well its not about responsible breeding the price tag, its about the made up name, so I guess it depends on your priority, do you want a well bred and less problematic dog and promote responsible breeding or do you want a "silly name"
I fear we will always stray more towards the fickle factor then the responsible one.

I don't own a mongrel of that cross but we do see a few at work, generally for problems with their eyes, considering both breeds are nenound for eye problems then thats not really surprising, we have had a few through our rescue and the rescue we have connections to who deal with smaller dogs have have had their share, they where especially bong eyed the ones they had in.

I think some of the designer xing you can get away with but imo crossing a sporting/hunting dog like a beagle with a with a breed like a pug is not to be encouraged, I fell rather sorry for the beagle in this instance:p

Anyhow I think we have come to the conclusion there are no other pug x beagle owners:D

I have a big browed cavi with bong eyes:D

I'm writing this down for future reference and quoting CAYLA. You don't mind do you? :p

OP, I don't agree with the cross myself for reasons most others have quoted above as well as my desire not to see my favourite breed (beagle, as you may have gathered from above) cross bred on purpose especially with something that can often barely breathe. Your dog is lovely though (not like, as PFS says, the kind I'm used to seeing a lot over here) and not unlike one of mine who is some kind of crossbreed. Mine though just looks like an overgrown beagle/lab which is a guess at his cross, not a boxer. I imagine they looked very similar as puppies though.
 
your dog looks very sweet and much loved. :) why not just call him what he is though, a cross breed? The whole puggle, labradoodle type thing sounds very silly imho. I dont personally agree with such breeding either but thats not a dig at the OP, her dog looks a lovely happy chap.
 
All breeds of dogs come from crossing something...but *usually* they are borne out of a need to fill a niche, not just a whim of a marketing ploy to make the beagle x pug worth more than it would be otherwise....or worth more than either of the parents are as purebreeds.

Just to clarify, a puggle, labradoodle, cockerpoo and so forth are NOT breeds. They are crosses. Some call them mongrels, but I think personally a mongrel is a right mix (heinz 57) whereas a cross breed is at least somewhat traceable in terms of lineage. But still doesn't make it an official breed til the KC/AKC and so forth have deemed it so. (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

Sorry OP, there are some really passionate views about the terms that marketers use to call their dogs, and the fact that they try to demand so much dosh for said crosses. They're not having a go at YOUR cute dog per se, just trying to rectify the notion that these crosses are in their own right a breed.

Years ago there was a "breed" started called Morab (morgan x arabian). It was met with similar vitriol - and I think they eventually got their own registry.

How about Jack Russels, someone might tell me otherwise, but somewhere in my mind there was some sort of anti JRT sentiment cos they weren't AKC or is it KC? I think this is going back to the 90s or 80s?

Still happens, I have the traditional shorties and they're not KC acceptable/registerable etc and the Parson Jack Russell Terrier Club dropped the "Jack" to become the Parson Russell Terrier because they didn't want associating with the shorties.

I think it's 5 gens + before it can be considered a "breed" plus has to conform to a set standard, there's no way a Labradoodle or Cockapoo or Puggle can do that because they are so varied, you know even less what you're going to get from that cross than I do from breeding my shorties
