Important Details To Know About The Pug

The Pug (sometimes called the "Chinese Pug",
"Dutch Mastiff" or "Dutch Bulldog") is one of
the largest toy dogs that features a
short-muzzled face, big eyes, curly tail and a
glossy coat that is sometimes pure black but
most often fawn with a black face mask. The
breed came into existence during around 400BC in
China, and they were first bred for the key
reason of being companion dogs for Chinese
royalty.

Several of their more recognizable traits are
known by many as their adorable appearance,
adaptability, charm and playful temperament -
which help make the Pug one of the most popular
of all breeds for families, retirees and
apartment dwellers as well as the occasional
competitor in agility or obedience.

The Pug is well-known for their pleasant,
charming and dignified temperament. They are
generally very friendly with visitors and
attempts to make everyone their new best friend,
which can make them unsuitable as a guard dog.

The Pug is also accepted to be moderately
intelligent - placing 57th in comparison with
other dogs in terms of their capacity to be
trained obedience commands. They are
additionally known to be great with kids and can
become good playmates - which means they are
highly suitable as a family pet. The Pug is very
compatible with other animals such as cats,
rabbits, birds and other dogs.

Grooming the Pug is a relatively simple job.
They need a minimal amount of brushing only when
necessary with regular cleaning around the face.

The Pug doesn't need a yard and is relatively
inactive while inside, so they are very suitable
for living in an apartment if they are taken for
daily walks. They can be uncomfortable in both
hot and cold environments and will prefer to
remain inside in an air-conditioned environment
for most of the time.

The Pug could make the right dog for families,
retirees, apartment dwellers and other
fun-loving owners. They are fit to anyone that
is eager to do a minimal level of grooming and
allocate time to give them basic obedience
training at an early age in addition to take
them for short walks every day when it's cool
and bestow a very high sum of companionship and
attention. Although they can be a bit
inappropriate as a guard dog or in extreme
climates, if you are capable of meeting their
need for human interaction, careful feeding and
a comfortable living environment in terms of
temperature then the Pug could be the ultimate
breed of dog for you.
