The Brisbane Times recently mentioned puggles, the world's cutest puppies, in an article entitled "A Bit of Ruff".It's a standard overview of the increasing popularity of designer dogs and includes perspectives from those of us who adore and cherish the super-pooches and those who have concerns about the breed-mixing and whether popularity is increasing a little too fast for its own good.
There's nothing earth-shattering or new in this piece, but it is interesting to see the Australians getting more and more interested in the puggle (and overall designer dog) phenomena.
Here's an excerpt:
"Then again, there are designer dogs with sillier names. The ever-expanding list of designer crossbreeds starts with the labradoodle and covers increasingly daffy sounding variants: poodle crosses such as schnoodles, spoodles, cavoodles, groodles, pug crosses like puggles, pugaliers, and (best of all) basset hound beagle crosses, or bagels. Infinite combinations seem possible and, with demand for designer dogs pushing puppy prices into four figures, more breeders are answering the call."
