Pug dogs were bred to be companion dogs, and this shows in their personality. They love their human family, and will often bond with one person in particular. Despite having quite a muscular, stocky body, this is a playful house dog, and is not at all aggressive. In fact, they should not be kept outside. They don’t like extremes of heat or cold, and humidity can be a problem for pugs. Their cooling system is not very good because of their flat face. When you see a pug panting on a hot day, it’s not because it has breathing problems. Rather, it’s just very hot and trying to cool down.

Prospective pug owners need to have a fair bit of time to spend with their pug. They love human attention, and can be quite attention seeking, in a very funny way. They will follow their owner around the house, and love lying on their laps. They are very tolerant of children, thus making good family dogs.

Pug dogs need some care. Bath them once a week in summer, and clean out the rolls of fat on top of the pug’s nose once a week with some baby oil or similar. You should brush their coat twice a week.

Pugs do like their food, so over-feeding them is something to watch out for!
