WHAT IS A PUGGLE?
If you are here looking for a puggle, then you probably already know! A puggle is a hybrid dog produced by mating a beagle with a pug, also called, my favorite, a Designer Dog.

   IS IT TRUE THAT PUGGLES ARE GENERALLY HEALTHIER DOGS?
Yes, this is true.   I too have fallen victim to overpaying for a puppy at a pet store. Her name was Cookie, at the age of 2 she took 3rd place in the American Kennel Club Show in Columbus, Oh. With a promising show vocation, and a smart loving baby, Cookie was completely blind by the age of 3 and deaf by the age of 5. She lived to be 21 years old, which I attribute to the care she received from my family.

    Why is it so common for these pricey, full blooded animals to be exceptionally prone to genetic illnesses - because of what breeders of champion bloodlines and such like to refer to as "Line Breeding."
     Line breeding is a fancy term for INBREEDING. We all know that inbreeding is bad, females from a litter will then be bred back to a father, with a claim that this is in pursuit of bringing out the best qualities in a breed.   Bad, bad, bad!
      Inbred populations have lower fitness and higher genetic disorders. This has given us a plethora of adorable pets fated with weak and recessive genes/traits resulting from dollar inspired breeding programs. With each litter, these genetic defects become more prevaliant and continue to be passed on through generations.

   GENETICS 101 - Welcome to the world of HYBRID VIGOR!
Just when mankind finds a way to really mess things up, Mother Nature steps up to the plate and tries to fix it.
   Hybrid vigor is the increased superior qualities arising from the crossbreeding of genetically different plants or animals. Hybrid vigor formulates the reversal of inbreeding. Weak genes that may be carried by a parent will be overridden by the stronger, more favorable dominant genes in the other parent, resulting in a hybrid baby with a much greater biochemical diversity and the strongest traits.


    I have spent a great deal of time studying the phenomena of Hybrid Vigor in pursuit of my 2 degrees in Biological Sciences.   I grew up with horses, donkeys, and the hybrid cross of the two, mules! We also have hybrid Isa Brown chickens and cattle here on our farm. Hybrid vigor is used in breeding programs for food (like fruits and vegetables) for high yeild and quality.

Unfortunately, the hybrid vigor extends only through the first generation (I am sorry to say it, but puggle to puggle crosses do not possess the genetic hardiness as first generation puggles).

The puppies will get vaccinated at 6 & 8 weeks of age, dewormed every 2 weeks per schedule, a health record indicating the dates of treatment, bathed & nails clipped as needed, - and for the trip to their new home - a bye-bye baggy which contains a small baggy of Purina Pro Plan Puppy food, a teddy bear, rawhide chew bone and baby blankey.
Also photos updated every week or 2 throughout their puppyhood with us so you can watch the babies grow! $400.00 is the price of one of our babies, a deposit of $100 will reserve your little one which can be sent through Paypal or postal mail.

My son Bill is the proud owner of our beagles, Jeep, Gracie and Daisy. Jeep is around 8 years old has had 3 litters in her lifetime & is now retired...but don't let that fool you, she is still as spry as the day we brought her home! Graycie is has also become a permanent nanny to the babies. All get excited and love it when the new children arrive!

When a new litter arrives, the mommy will be our new beagle Calie - more info & photos of her to come soon.

The Mommy Always gets pre-natal vitamins throughout the course of her pregnancy and afterwards, well after the babies are weened.

We snuggle the puggles daily, that's a fact! So they should be super affectionate.
FYI- An interesting fact, if you've done your homework on puggles, then you may be aware that the man who is credited with 'inventing' the puggle breed is named Wallace Havens. My husband's name is Haven Wallace, what a coincidence! Also, Sylvester Stallone is the proud owner of a Wallace Havens puggle - I did not know this when we got his namesake pug! "Tony Soprano," Uma Thurman, Jake Gyllenhall and Julianne Moore are also proud puggle parents.

Meet the Daddy...

Rambo is a busy father!

March 21, 2009, We Luv Pets in Marietta, Ohio - Rambo, had his first shot at modeling on the cat walk. To the left are just a few of the items which Rambo modeled at the We Luv Pets Fashion Show. Rambo was the only pug present out of 28 pooches and he was a huge hit!

BABIES!!! Our little love bugs started arriving around on Thursday, September 30th, 2014.

Please keep in mind that the little ones are almost black when they are first born and over the next couple of weeks they Will LIGHTEN UP to be the Fawn and/or Apricot color.

.......THE FOLLOWING ARE PICTURES OF PREVIOUS LITTERS......

July 21st photos- the little ones ate softened puppy food for the first time today, we are using Purina Pro Plan puppy food - they love it! They are still nursing on mommy as well. The little ones will get the puppy food once a day until mommy decides when to start nursing them less. Here are some pictures of them enjoying the sunshine.

Thursday, August 2nd - Busy day for the Babies!

The little ones had a busy day. They are 6 weeks old and have made the transition from mommy to puppy food. Today the little ones wrestled with mommy and they are officially weened. The babes took their first road trip with me...they are campground hounds - I think they love it!
