Pugglebaby.com. . . Home raised pups for a better pet!: About Puggles: "How big to they get?

First off. . . there is NO SUCH THING AS A POCKET PUGGLE. Size depends on the parents. We only use my AKC/UKC Registered male pug Rain-Lo. Rain-Lo is normally between 14-16 pounds, depending on the season, he literally loses weight in the summer.

The beagles range in weight from about 13 pounds to 26-28 pounds. All are still considered to be small dogs. Some are just smaller than others.

If the mother is 13 pounds (and dad is 16 pounds), the puppies should not be far off from the size of the parents.

Same goes for if dad is 16 pounds and mom is 27 pounds. The puppies will likely be some where in between those sizes.

Now, if you neuter early, or overfeed, the sky is the limit. Some very overweight beagles can probably weigh 40-50 pounds or so, but I have never seen a beagle weigh that at a HEALTHY size."
