About Hug Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Hug, a cross between the Siberian Husky and the Pug, is a small to medium companion dog not recognized by the AKC but registered through designer organizations such as the ACHC and IDCR. Adults typically stand 14-20 inches and weigh 30-60 pounds depending on which parent dominates. Coats vary by generation (F1, F1B, multigen), ranging from the Husky's dense double coat to a shorter, Pug like coat, all shedding heavily. Expect a playful, stubborn, people oriented dog with the Husky's energy and vocal nature paired with the Pug's affectionate clowning. Health concerns inherited from both parents appear in the health panel. Best suited to experienced owners with time for daily exercise and firm, patient training.
Parent Breeds
This is a designer cross combining: Husky + Pug. As a mixed breed cross, individual puppies may inherit traits from either parent breed in varying degrees. Health testing requirements and temperament expectations should be evaluated for both parent breeds.
