More About Pug

The Pug, with its charming and mischievous personality, is a breed that loves to be the center of attention. Recognizable by their expressive, wrinkled faces and compact, muscular bodies, Pugs have a unique appeal. They are known for being sociable and thrive on human companionship, often following their owners around the house. Pugs are playful and affectionate, making them excellent pets for families with children. Due to their brachycephalic (flat-faced) nature, they require special care, especially in hot weather, to prevent breathing difficulties. Their short coat is easy to groom but they do shed quite a bit. Regular exercise and diet control are important to keep these little charmers healthy and to avoid obesity. Pugs are adaptable and can live comfortably in both apartments and houses.
