Puggle Temperament
Puggles are a playful, confident and happy breed. They are good with children and tend to be friendly with other dogs, given they are properly socialised as a puppy. Outgoing, fun-loving and sure of themselves, Puggles are affectionate individuals with a strong personality. They can be stubborn and headstrong, but are eager to please their owner so with positive reinforcement and treats they tend to be fast learners.
Puggle Health Issues
Patella Luxation: An abnormally shallow groove in the knee, which causes the knee cap (patella) to slip out of position.
Hip Dysplasia: A common disease where a malformation in the hip joint results in the joint rubbing and grinding. This can lead to irritation, pain and impaired walking ability.
Intervertebral Disk Disease: Abnormality in the cartilaginous disks that provide cushioning between the vertebra. This is a condition that can be aggravated if your dog is overweight.
