I absolutely LOVE my pug. I can't imagine any dog being more loving, nor hav I ever known or owned one as loving and cute! Be patient with training, and they WILL be laid back after about 1 year old. Please do not get this breed if you cannot devote a lot of attention, or if you don't like shedding!

Pros: great personality, very cute, smart, will learn tricks, laid back (after 1yr old)

Cons: can be hard to potty train, SHED, SHED, SHED, do not like to be left alone, CAN'T tolerate HEAT, spastic puppies, picky eater, allergies

There is no finer companion than the Pug. During the worst storms, I'm never lonely or afraid as long as my Pug is by my side. I can tell him my deepest, darkest secrets. He turns his little head to one side, then the other. The best part--my secrets go no further. My Pug is the alpha dog;I take the command. Love it.

Pros: Most kissable chops Most twirlable curl (tail) Most expressive eyes

Cons: Pout Stubborn Do not like to be corrected

Our family has never owned a dog; when we got Psycho, he fit right in. We got our pug as an adult who had come from an abusive background. He adapted himself very quickly and is a sweet -albeit spoiled- member of the family. Pugs -particularly males- will take over the house with lack of discipline, and can be notorious beggars. However, they are caring and sturdy dogs who are very loyal. They sometimes play favorites with the one who feeds or walks them, but they definitely grow to love every member of the family. They request a lot of emotional attention, and are great dogs for smaller families or older people because of how low-maintenance they are.

Pros: Very intelligent, clever, funny, and empathetic dogs. Mostly great with kids, surprisingly patient with them.

Cons: STUBBORN, they shed a ton, will eat forever, and can use those big expressive eyes to manipulate food out of you.

My pug, Han Solo, is a lovable, fussy and over-spoilt little guy who never seems to get bored and is always there for me and my sister, Linda. Bennie was found by the freeway by Linda when she was travelling to work as a barely three-week-old pup, weak with hunger and thirst and barely able to lift his head. Linda brought him home and fed and watered him. I decided to take him to the pound because we already had a Shi Tzu, and before I did I went on the net and looked for info on Pug sicknesses, just in case we needed to take him to the vet before the pound. I stumbled on this site, and after reading everything (even the General Description!) I decided against the pound and opted for keeping him. Linda agreed, for FreeLance was growing old and tired. We did all that vet and adoption stuff, and then he was ours. We named the Pug Han Solo after my favourite character, played by my favourite actor, Harrison Ford, of all time, and trained him to sit, stay, heel, and 'kennel'. After three happy years, Han Solo is still as frisky, and adorable and playful, as the day he was made our own. Sadly, FreeLance has died 1.6 years after we found Han. Han Solo, a.k.a Harris Scarfe (I know! Silly name but anyway, I think it's pretty cool!), is great, lovable, loved his walks and food, and is 'perfectly' trained. We entered him in the town's dog festival, but he was fifth. Oh well, he was great and excellent in our eyes anyway. It's hard to imagine HS as a pathetic, weak pup, but he was once. Now he's playful though. I would recommend the Pug, and this site for research on the breed, to anyone, but especially elderly and aparment-dwellers people. THANKS FOR THE SITE!!!!!!!! P.S. I hope you like the name!

Pros: lovable, playful, frisky, cute, so PERFECT for kids

Cons: sensitive, have to be careful about the breathing, sheds a LOT

I have own a pug "Rex" he is terrible but I think that I would not survive with out him he is part of my family this dogs are awsome. They love to be with people and cannot stand the sun. I am looking for another pug but I would love to have a black pug but they are very hard to find.

Pros: they are loving, caring and very cute.

Cons: They shed alot, need alot of attention and hate I mean hate to stay alone they will cry like a 4 month old baby.

Though a pug seems to be one of the most cutest dogs around, you must remember they need care. Their cute smooshed face gives them something other dogs don't always have. A breathing problem. Since their face is smooshed they also have wrinkles. Those need to be taken care of. For example using a wet towel or somethingto clean deep withink the wrinkles. If not cared properly they will not be healthy pugs. They are a great pet for families. They can live in almost any enviornment. But pugs are really not the ones who enjoy exersize. Do not keep them too much in the sun. If your'e the type who just wants to lay around at home, watching tv and eating chips. This might be the right pet for you. Pugs don't require much grooming. WARNING: Never pull you pug's throat too much, meaning don't tug the leashes. Since their faces are made smooshed, their eyes don't have a lot of support, causing the eyes to pop out when tugging their neck. I don't know how to fix that problem, but only to consult a vetrinarian right away! Anyways besides all the difficulties, as i said if your one of those stay at home people, with kids who don't annoy the pug too much, it would be a perfect pet.

Pros: Pugs are extremely cute, and have the most cute button eyes.

Cons: They have to be treated with care, and you need to wipe the wrinkles or else a skin infection can start. They also have more difficulties, they are in the reveiw.
