Pugapoo

The breed

The Pugapoo, also called a Pugoodle, is a small mixed-breed dog created from Pug and Poodle ancestry. Its appearance can vary widely, but many have a compact body, round expressive eyes, floppy or semi-floppy ears, and a short-to-medium muzzle. Coats may be curly, wavy, or smooth, in colors such as black, fawn, cream, apricot, brown, or mixed patterns. Some resemble a small Poodle, while others show the Pug’s stockier build and wrinkled expression.

Pugapoos are generally cheerful, affectionate, and people-oriented dogs. They are often playful and humorous, with a lively personality balanced by a strong enjoyment of companionship. Many are social and adaptable, though individual temperament can reflect either parent breed. They may be alert and curious around new people or activity, while typically forming close bonds with their families.
