Pug mixes:
Puggle puppy
Puggle, a beagle and pug mix, produces a playful and loyal dog, with a wrinkled snout and (often, but not always) the typical black mask of the Pug. Some Puggles do howl when they get very excited. This trait can be inherited from the beagle.

There is also the Valley Bulldog, a boxer and bulldog mix, who may be included here, even though this is not a first generation dog hybrid.
