Fran I have never seen one that looks like that. Even the nicest of ones I have met don't look as nice as the ones Xandra posted. (not talking temperaments) Most look like they were made from spare parts.
Then again, the ones I see all live in Miami. They are VERY popular and people are really specific about breeding them. The few "breeders" ive met on the beach are REALLY nit picky about their puggles.. its a huge deal lol and they take it very seriously
People love pugs, but its too **** hot there to have one soo I guess thats why these "puggle breeders" have popped up. you will occasionally see a couple of puggles in a petstore at the beach but its RARE because people want to see the parents, pictures of offspring etc.. lol because as you can see from the above post, mixing the wrong pug and beagle can end in disaster.
they are pricey, more so than most purebreds down there. so people want their moneys worth.
and ya, there are "Famous" breeder puggles/lines that have waiting lists. To go a "dior" puggle for example (yes, the guy who breeds them changed his last name to dior.. I have met him) it will cost you $2000 and there is a 1 year waiting list on average. He does health test etc..etc.. but still, most of it is because his puggles LOOK GOOD and well, its in the name. His slogan "Its not just any puggle..."
