It isn't like "One day God created the labrador" and that was that.
There is a reason why breeders began crossing breeds. My sister raises pugs, and the problems they have with their respiratory system and sinuses have become so common place. She likes the puggle breed because it's essentially still very much a pug, with the benefit from the beagle's airways.
Just because it isn't recognized by any kennel club (yet) doesn't mean it isn't a new and evolving breed.

What a shame anyone could be disgusted with a dog just because they're not registered with the AKC.
The dog breeds that we have today were originally bred for a purpose. I am against breeding in all aspects if the dogs being produced are not being produced for working ability. What does a puggle do to work? Nothing. A companion? Yes, but there are just as many wonderful companions (puggles included) at the shelter.
