[edit] Added information and citations but keeps reverting
I've obviously done something wrong. Any ideas? Jennaba (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Information cleaned up but more needed
I have cleaned this page up a bit to help with formatting but it will need to need be revised as I am not certain is there is a section break instead of the line breaks.
This page needs to be revised as there is too much content that is copied from the cited site that I added. This seems to be the source from which the information originated.

- I saw your post and was all set to delete the obviously copyrighted material from the article, but my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to do some investigating. Take a look at this edit from Feb. 23, 2006. It looks like it created the text found at pugglesforsale organically. So next, I did a search on the Internet Archive [1], for the site in question, and it didn't come up with anything. In fact, a search for the home page of the site [2] didn't come up with anything either. The internet archive has a backlog of 6 to 12 months, so that may mean that this website is only that old. So I suspect (but could be wrong) that pugglesforsale actually copied our content. Only the section on temperament has survived relatively intact, so it looks like we copied just that section from them. Just a theory, mind. --Joelmills 02:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Let the article stand
OK, we've removed this article & removed it & RFDed it and voted on it and it keeps coming back. With pretty good reason--there are "286,000 English pages for puggle dog" according to google. So I give up, I think we just need to let it exist and make sure it's got reasonable info in it. IMHO. Elf | Talk 04:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Why shouldnt this be kept? What is the arguement for deletion?

I posted puggle info over a year ago. I knew it would be back.
[edit] This article isn't exactly the best...
But it's been invaluable to me.
I inherited a puggle from an irresponsible owner, and the info about the breed listed here has been a lot of help in working with him. Honestly, if my dog is typical (as it seems he is), this so-called "designer breed" is a dream dog.
Is there any authoritative editor who can attest to the temperment of this mix? We can walk ours without a leash, let him around other dogs with no biting (the occasional growl is permitted, but that 's where it ends) and people actually pet him WHILE THEY'RE EATING at cafes. It's unsanitary, true, but people don't seem to be able to help it. A woman at a coffeehouse in a major city took off her shoes and gave my dog a back massage with her feet while she drank her latte. I'm not kidding.
While I'm not a fan of designer pups, I came across mine by default, and I'm thrilled. I think a more expansive article on the breed just might be in order. My own experience violates the original research restriction for Wikipedia, so I'm right out. Any puggle breeders out there want to weigh in? I'm sold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfulbright (talk • contribs) 04:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
