Pug Information
 |
In Holland, the Pug became the official dog of the House of Orange after one of the dogs saved the life of William, Prince of Orange, by barking and licking his face when the Spaniards approached.
The Pug is known as "a lot of dog in a small space." They appear to always be well groomed and ready for the show ring. They adapt easily to any situation. They do wonderful in a small apartment as well as living in the country.
Pugs adore people and need to be with people. If you work long hours and no one is going to be home to spend time with the dog, I do not recommend a Pug, since they crave attention. Pugs also must be indoor dogs, no exceptions. This breed gets heat exhaustion very easily, and should be monitored closely whenever they are outside, even for short periods of time.
Pugs can be silver, apricot-fawn, or black. Their coats are short, soft, smooth and glossy. Grooming a Pug is very simple. Bathing and brushing, nail trim and ear cleaning are usually all that is required.
The main health problem with Pugs is obesity. Many Pugs will eat until they burst and always seem to act as if they're starving.
Other health concerns with the breed include hemi-vertebrae, hip dysplasia, luxating patella, legg-calve-perthes disease, corneal ulcers, dystichia, and entropion.
