I went to an adoption event for pugs with my co-worker. The woman in charge of the adoption has five pugs of her own. She stressed that pugs are heavy shedders. She said she has been known to need to vacuum her home twice a day. BTW, my co-worker adopted a little black puggily girl from this woman several days later. I would love some day to have a pug of my own. Though my present dogs don't shed at all, I have two cats that make up for it. It just means the vacuum cleaner gets a bit more use.
