Good Luck FD. I know nothing about puggles, but in a lifetime of experience I have found smaller dogs harder to potty train, more nippy, and easier to trip over. Someplace I read that Cocker Spaniels are the origin of most dog bites - that may be out dated info because I don't believe Cockers are as popular as they once were. Every one has there experiences with different types of dogs. I brought a husky wolf pup home and Grandpa had a fit - we had two tots and two slightly older kids - eventually he became friends with the entire neighbor hood. He was definitely unlike any dog we have ever owned and the memories and stories about Spike linger on. (The picture is 45 yrs. old)

Oh my goodness fishdad I just want to love it and hold it and squeeze it! Lol. Sorry to hear about the bad boxer experience. Every dog is different though. My boxer is the best dog I have ever had, minus the separation anxiety, which has gotten better with age. I remember the first time we left her home alone, when we first pulled up we thought someone broke into the house!
i think there is a limmit for how small a dog should be. if i can accidentally sit on it cause i did not see it was there, thats to small lol. but i do alot of hunting and take emma with me dove, duck, and squirrel hunting with me. a bigger dog is more of what i personally need. i am not trying to bad mouth all little dogs or dicourage anyone from getting one. i'm just saying for me personally i prefer a medium size breed like a lab or german shorthair, or a golden retriever. fits my personality and my lifestyle more. and i'm sorry. there is no better chick magnet then the sad eyes of a lab puppy lol.
The picture I posted of our big husky wolf brought back memories because that kid is now 45 yrs. old. So I decided to talk to the kids about Spike and what they remembered and write a "Memory of Spike". I haven't talked to all of them as yet, but it is clear that "mellow" is the word, they don't remember him barking, he was just always with them. At 4-h meetings he just sat calmly and seemed to know when the cookies got passed, he would be included. He was always with all the kids in the neighborhood, met the school bus and walked them home. He brought his lady friend's home - in fact bred one of them in our kitchen. He bred the neighbor's pedigreed Great Dane - after they drove 300 miles to a pedigreed stud that she wasn't interest in. The pups were absolute clowns (mix a huskey with a brindled Great Dane) but everyone loved them. I still have more to write , but thanks for bringing back the memories.
