Which dog breed is right for you?
The Beagle is a small scent hound with roots tracing back to Roman times, though the modern breed was refined in England during the 1830s for rabbit hunting. Standing 13–15 inches tall and weighing 20–30 pounds, Beagles are compact, sturdy dogs built for endurance on the trail. Their short, dense, weather-resistant coat comes in a variety of hound colors — most commonly tri-color, red-and-white, and lemon — and sheds moderately throughout the year.
Beagles are merry, curious, and sociable dogs — they were bred to work in packs, and that pack mentality translates to a strong desire for companionship. They are excellent with children and other dogs, making them one of the most family-friendly breeds available. However, their powerful nose can lead them astray, and once a Beagle has locked onto a scent, recalling them can be nearly impossible.

The Pug is one of the oldest toy breeds, originating in China around 400 BC as prized companions of Buddhist monks and later Chinese emperors. These compact, square-proportioned dogs weigh 14 to 18 pounds and stand 10 to 13 inches tall, with a distinctively wrinkled face, large round eyes, and a tightly curled tail. Their smooth, short double coat comes in fawn (with a black mask) or solid black — and despite its short length, it sheds prolifically.
Pugs live to love and be loved — they are charming, mischievous, and remarkably attuned to their owners' emotions, making them outstanding companion dogs. They get along wonderfully with children, other dogs, and even cats, possessing a sociable nature that makes them the life of any gathering. Pugs are playful without being hyperactive, and their clownish antics provide endless entertainment for their families.
Pugs bring joy wherever they go — find your wrinkly-faced soulmate waiting on Puplister.
