About the PugWhether you
live in an apartment, or a castle, the compact, adorable breed
known as the Pug makes an excellent companion! A favorite breed
of royalty since the 16th century, the Pug was once thought to
have originated in Holland, but is now considered an Oriental
breed - the short-haired cousin to the
Pekinese dog breed. The name
"Pug" comes from the Old English word "pugg", which was a term
of endearment.
Playful, mischievous, intelligent and
affectionate, Pugs get along great with other family pets, and
adore being adored by children. They love attention!
These dogs weigh from 14 to 18 pounds and come
in solid black, silver fawn or apricot fawn with black mask and
ears. Regular brushing is all the grooming this breed requires,
and exercise needs are minimal.
Pugs tend towards being overweight, so diet must
be carefully controlled (no matter how much begging takes
place!). Pugs do well in both rural and urban settings, and are
a great choice for elderly or disabled dog lovers! |
