Everything to know about the puggle
Thinking of getting a puggle? Here some facts about this beloved breed
Puggle on a moss log

Are you torn between a beagle and a pug? You might consider getting a puggle. Maybe you're three giant steps ahead of us, met a puggle at an adoption event, and have fallen head over heels (or perhaps that's nose over paws). As the mash-up name implies, a puggle is a mix of a beagle and a pug. The dogs can have physical and behavioral traits commonly found in these popular breeds, such as a pug's squishy face and friendliness and a beagle's powerful nose and curiosity.

Puggles can also inherit some health issues from these breeds. While no two dogs are alike, understanding common characteristics is an excellent early step in pet parenthood. Researching puggles is a bit complicated, though. The American Kennel Club (AKC) does not recognize the breed, so there's no official standard. Still, decades of experience allow us to generalize about a puggle's appearance and behavior.

We all pass gas, even our beloved pets. If you hear a toot and glance over at an innocent smiling face looking up at you, you'll know who was responsible. Farting is a normal part of the mammalian experience and almost all of us do it (the sloth being a notable exception).

While your dog will almost certainly let one out now and then, excessive flatulence should raise the alarm. It could come from diet, a health condition, or even eating habits, but you'll want to get a handle on the stinky issue. So, if you're asking, "Why does my dog fart so much?"
