Important Details You Ought To Know About The Pug

The Pug, often called the "Dutch Mastiff" or
"Dutch Bulldog", is a member of the toy breed
category. They feature a flat face, big eyes and
a fawn and black or pure black coat. It was in
around 400BC the breed is assumed to have first
came to be. They were first bred for providing
companionship for the Chinese royal family. In
the modern day they are a common selection as a
companion dog for families or apartment
dwellers. They are distinguishable by their
adorable appearance, charm and playfulness. They
are believed to have originated in China around
400BC and are a descendant of similar to
ancestors of the Pekingese and Lhasa Apso (all
records were destroyed).

They are recognized as a small sized breed of
dog. The recommended male and female dimensions
are 10-11 inches tall and a weight of 14-18
pounds. They're famous for their pleasant and
charming character. They can be unsuitable as a
guard dog, as along with their small size they
are generally friendly towards people they're
not familiar with. The breed is tested as being
fairly clever, and scores 57th compared to every
other breed when being trained to learn new
commands.

They're great with kids, which can make them
very suitable for a family pet. They do combine
peacefully with other animals like cats, rabbits
and other dogs. One simple assignment is looking
after their coat. They need minimal brushing
through their coat every week or so, and a
proper groom once every couple of months. They
prefer a small (though doesn't really need any)
yard that gives them room to run around, but
very easily be suited to living in an apartment.


They're largely longer-lived, like most small
sized breeds, and have an expected life of 12-14
years. They can be susceptible to skin problems,
allergies, breathing issues or epilepsy, but
their major health issue is obesity due to their
love of food. They can be entertained with things
such as indoor games and play sessions. To avoid
bad behavior, they call for short walks each day
due to their low to medium degree of energy.

You ought to be able to give them a high amount
of attention and basic training if you choose
the Pug. They are not an ideal option for people
living in extreme climates, but an excellent
choice for families, retirees, apartment
dwellers or other fun loving owners. One of the
greatest reasons dog owners find this dog
particularly attractive is that it has an
adorable appearance and charming nature that
makes them easy to fall in love with.
