Pugalier
Puppy
Fully Grown
The Pugalier is a hybrid dog breed that is a cross between a Pug and a King Charles Cavalier. These two breeds are very both very friendly and have wonderful temperaments, and the Pugalier sure does deliver on both characteristics. Due to this amazing temperament and their funny-looking cuteness, Pugaliers are certain to become more and more popular over time.
This breed may not win any beauty contests, but they will wow everyone they meet with friendliness and their loving nature. Like Pugs, they are clowns and fabulous comedians and entertainers that you are certain to fall in love with.
The Pug has a lot of health issues, but by crossing them with the Cavalier, some of these have been eliminated. This cross breed is simply a great mixture, combining the best of both breeds minus the health issues.
Most Pugaliers are fawn colored, with some dogs having white markings on their bodies. But their faces are mostly all fawn with a dark area around their noses. Their coat is short and just needs weekly brushing to keep the hair off your furniture.

There are many sources to get your Pugalier from. Considering the number of homeless dogs without a future, we strongly encourage you to consider rescuing a dog. Your local shelter or rescue organisation can be a helpful place to start, or try contacting your local or national breed club or a reputable breeder and asking if they have pets available for rehoming. Many rescue organisations have active Facebook pages, which can also be a good place to enquire.
