Hi again,
I agree that most pugs have lovely personalities but, apart from the way some of them are treated, the main thing I have aganst them is that they are pugs! Even if they do not have a medical condition that is treated by a vet a very large proportion of these dogs suffer during their lives. The very idea that an animal descended from the wolf hasn't got the breathing capability or the legs to jog with it's owner is, well, I will be thrown off this site if I say what I really think!!!!!!!
Wow Carrie, that's awfully harsh. You don't seem to know this breed very well. All dog breeds have some type of problem. Yes, pugs do have some breathing problems and many can't "jog," but all the pugs I have met were warm, sweet, funny dogs who brought lots of joy and smiles. Not everyone jogs!! Pugs are perfect pets for an older, more sedentary person. Please don't be so negative. All dog breeds have something to offer someone. Big or small--DOGS RULE!! My little Cavaliers are sweet, loving, playful, and fearless. They can walk all day if you want to or snuggle with you on the couch. Love those Cavaliers!!!
