PUG - Small Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the Pug

The Pug is an ancient, highly dignified, and fiercely loyal companion breed. Instantly recognizable by their deeply wrinkled, pushed-in face, massive round eyes, and tightly curled tail, they were bred by Chinese emperors to be the ultimate pampered lap dogs.

Temperament and Care

The Pug is the absolute clown of the toy group. They are intensely affectionate, incredibly playful, and famously stubborn. They require very little exercise, making them perfect for apartments, but they are prone to severe obesity. Their deep facial wrinkles require daily cleaning to prevent infections.
