This little dog possesses a robust, square frame and strong limbs. They have large rounded heads with shortened muzzles, extensive forehead wrinkles, and protruding eyes. Their coat is short, fine and glossy coat that comes in a variety of colours, typically fawn, silver or black, with a dark mask and ears. Pugs are not just well known for their looks but also for their temperament. They are sociable, even-tempered little dogs which get on well with pretty much anyone and everything. They thrive on human companionship and are gentle and playful around children. They are also good companions to other dogs and household pets. Generally, pugs want to please their owners and are intuitive and sensitive to their moods. This does not mean that they don’t have their stubborn side when the mood takes them. Pugs don’t need a lot of exercise, preferring to play and nap at home, but their tendency to put on weight means daily exercise should still be a feature of their lives. Pugs make super pets, being affectionate and intelligent. Unfortunately, as a flat-faced breed, they can have a lot of health problems and may struggle with their breathing in hot weather and when exercising. To minimise the risk of owning a dog with problems to do with exaggerated features, look for a pug with a longer nose and fewer skin folds on the face.
