hi, i have a pug too. pugs are great companion dogs. mine likes to sit in my lap and be petted, if i stop he will put his paw on my face like "what?, dont stop"
is he a pup? pug pups can be stubborn to house train. mine liked to steal underware from the hamper and parade them around for guests. they grow out of that though. they like to chew so have toys and nylabones around, and watch your shoes. they also love to be with you at all times, i couldnt imagine making my murphy sleep any place else but with me.
about grooming, mine tends to start smelling after a few months, so thats how often i bathe him. brushing often is good because they shed quit abit. also you have to clean out the crevice that goes under the eyes and over the nose, gunk gets built up in there after awhile and can cause an infection. oh, another thing is they and some other breeds get these kindof scabs on the top of their noses (maybe not till adult ages) but you can just pick them off and maybe put some lotion on it. watch out for his eyes as well (cuz they stick out) especially if he is a pup. ive heard horror stories of people dropping their pug puppy and the eyes popping out.
you will have so much fun with bandit. id be glad to answer any other questions.
