I have a golden/pug mix, I have been looking online for years trying to find if anyone else has had this. My guy is pure accident, mom golden dad pug, he looks just like a small golden. He has the intelligence and temperment of a golden and the excitement of a pug. For all of you who think they are nothing more than a mutt, you are right, but he is a golden in a small package, perfect for those without a big house. If you want pictures I can send them. My sister got him off a farm in CO. Best dog I have ever had. He has no health problems and is in great shape. The only attribute that he brings along from the two breeds is allergies. I will check back on the forum if anyone wants photos for proof that it can be done.

I have one, too. He is five years old and is the best dog! They were accident puppies and the owner was just giving them away. (Just FYI…the father was the pug and the mother was a very passive golden. Nothing dangerous in that breeding…just unusual. )

Most people think he is a a corgie or cocker spaniel mix. He looks exactly like a miniature golden retriever…beautiful…the perfect size! All of the puppies in the litter were adorable!

He was easy to train, is fantastic with kids and other dogs and everyone who has ever met him loves him. I have had numerous offers over the years to adopt him from me. Never! I wish I could clone him and I think someone would be brilliant to begin breeding the mix!

If you want a designer Pug, a Puggle is for you. They are pug/beagle mixes, extremely cute, and a step up from that ‘dog pound mutt’.

Breeding the pair is extremely dangerous in all ways. Dogs with pushed in faces are more likely to need a C-Section than other dogs (not including Shih Tzus).

If a Puggle won’t work, try breeding two dogs that are roughly the same size, like a Golden and Standard Poodle, hence another designer dog, the Goldendoodle.

I bred pugs before, they are very loyal to their master. But then again I heard that retrievers are great to, but very large breed. depending on if you want an outside dog or an inside dog. Pugs are inside dogs and will cost you more money in the end, because of their noses, they dont breath very well. they dont breed together (lab and pug), at least I dont think so, it just sounds alittle crazy. a little dog and a very large dog. pugs are just too damn cute and have such a great personality…good luck with your decision.

You’ve got a mixed breed…a mutt…that’s all. There is no one name for your mixed breed. Names for mixed breeds come from what people want to call them. You could call him a “goldi-pug” or a “pugtriever”. Most mixed breed names are made up by the people who own or breed them.

Yuck!! That would be a mutt.Available at any shelter for a reasonable fee.Not a designer dog just a good ol’ mutt.Makes me ill to see people breeding dogs that have not business being bred.This is why we have crazy doodles,puggles etc in the world.Sad very sad….

naming the mix should be farthest thing from your mind. there’s too much discrepancy between the breeds and a mix would not be the best idea. never mind how the pups will look – a dog is a dog is a dog, and they’ll always have the potential of being gentle souls – but just think of the possible medical problems!

i have a pomeranian-pekingese mix who i got from a local shelter who everybody thinks is the cutest little guy, but i’ve heard of many medical complications that Peke-a-poms (that’s what they call them – I could care less) might’ve inherited from their parents.

if you’re so keen about getting what they call “Designer Breeds”, why not cross your Golden with a Poodle for a Goldendoodle? They say they’re cute, and the breeds would be more compatible, don’t you think? But even better, just go to your local shelter and welcome a lovable dog into your home!
