Any fellow Puggle Owners!?

Well maybe this thread isn't a total disaster!!!
I genuinely don't mean to offend anyone as I know a lot of forum users have competed there (my mother's bitch got third in Open in, er, 1972 :p we still have the cheque) but Crufts is just a big dog show.
 
OMG Peanutsmumma - I feel desperately sorry for you reading this thread :(

You obviously ventured in here with all good intentions with a light hearted post without having any idea what AAD is like - what a shock! I am sorry you have been pulled apart, shouted at and criticised by a cliquey few who love to jump on the bandwagon to please the elite :(

Personally I think it is such a lovely and heart warming post to read that a dog has such a loving family home - so many dont.

As much as all that has been said already in this thread holds weight and if you pick out some of the well written posts I am sure you can agree that they have a point. No one likes to see an animal exploited and I am sure even you agree that puppy farms should not be allowed to exist.

I think education is the way forward - not to humiliate and tear apart a new poster to this section.
 
this is insane....:confused:
I got bored by page 6 so apologies if im repeated/resurrecting something that has been said
Iv seen a few PUGGLES *oops!* did i say PUGGLE?!! :rolleyes: and i think they are ace. I dont think peanutsmamma can be held soley responsible for all of the people out to make a quick buck and I dont think the PUGGLE has a scratch on the labradoodle surely?!!! :confused:
for the record, I neither for nor against breeding two breeds and 'making a new one' (dont shoot me, i dont know how else to explain it!:p) but also, i dont think the pedigrees are holyer than thou, they are RENOWNED for horrific health issues are they not? why else is insuring a pedigree four times the price? I think the only time when breeding crossbreeds is a problem (in my very humble opinion!) is when it is on mass scale, for purely money purposes (but does this not apply to alot of pedigree owners aswel?!) and for breeeding monstrosities(sp?) like the teacup puppies.
live and let live! she owns a puggle, he's massively cute (I also was expecting beige?! :p) and im pretty sure she isnt going to take him to the vets to be PTS because you guys have all told her he shouldnt exist, she isnt breeding from him, she bought him years ago so presumable the 'breeder' has either made thier millions and retired in barbados surrounded by puggles or has gone bust from the RSPCA shutting them down for breeding deformed,depressed,crippled,non-health-tested,MOT'D,breed researched.......dogs?!:rolleyes:
also, I dont see why the people that breed two pedigrees to make a mongrel are so much worse than the people who purposely breed mongrels?!

I'm not especially more worked up about the breeding of a "puggle" than I am of pugs in general. Seriously, who buys these things, they're a walking vet bill.

I'm sure the OP's dog is very cute and is lucky to have a caring home. But if people didn't buy them, they wouldn't be bred...
 
I also own a Puggle in the milton keynes area and he is the greatest little puppy ive ever had. he is 6 months old and the mix of the 2 breeds creates a perfect little dog.

he has the charm and character of a beagle and the loyal and slightly stupid nature of the pug. they get alot less breathing issues than a pug and so thats gotta be a good thing.

Peanut, if you wanted to meet up for a puggle dog walk let me know

I have a hnd in animal husbandary gained at moulton college in northampton and i wouldnt even consider a dog if i felt that the cross was cruel in any way.

I wonder if those in Victorian times got such a hard time when crossing the bulldog with a mastiff - not an obvious match really but they wanted something to bring down poachers so chose the bulldog for its ferocity and the mastiff for its size and the result = the Bullmastiff which today is a recognised breed of which I have two and love them.

Maybe in years to come some of these current crossbreeds will be more accepted.

To the OP I think your little chap looks lovely and is well loved and cared for.

I'll save my dislike for those who abuse and illtreat their dogs be they pedigree or crosses.

There are far more important canine welfare issues to be dealt with and deserve peoples animosity rather than offending someone who came on asking if anyone else had a puggle.

I actually dislike any breeder who churns out puppies cross or pedigree for money year after year and those are the people I worry about.
