The pug is cute in an "only a mother could love" kind of way. The pug
is playful, stable, dependable, calm and good natured. This dog
instinctively seems to know when it will benefit him to act mature, and when
to act sweet or silly. Pugs are black and fawn, with a rare color not
often found of silver.

The
pug is stubborn, and may take up to six months to housetrain.
You may also find him stubborn as you attempt to train him in other
ways as well.
Exercise
The pug does not require a lot of
exercise. As a matter of fact, breathing difficulties may keep
him from exercising for long periods of time.

Grooming
The pug is a heavy
shedder. Daily brushing outside will help to keep the hair
down in your house.
Health
It
is unfortunate that this dog has been bred to almost distorted
proportions. This causes many health problems, the worst being
breathing. If it is hot or muggy outside, you will probably
need to keep your pug indoors. The breed is at risk of heat
stroke in the hot weather. Due to the pug's protruding eyes,
always protect his eyes in wind and near other potential eye
hazards. Due to breathing difficulties, your pug may also be
at risk when being anesthetized.
