Well the pug was first found in a cave. So when a cave man had a pug, he accidentally sat back on it against the wall. Which made the pugs nose be pushed in. Not only its nose but its face as well. =]
pugs are very safe to have around children they are very sweet and very kind and don't bite but they might go blind so get a pug around 1 month of age so you can train them that's all i know
My pug is very good around children. She is very tolerent of being poked and squeezed by kids who don't know any better. She has never tried to bite any one.
You take the dog to the vet. The vet will know what is best for the dog
The best age to get a pug is when the dog is a baby so the dog can know you better.Rather than going to the pet store and getting a pug at the age of 5 or 6 because the dog wouldn't really know you.
It all depends on the family of the pug. Is the family skinny or fat?? The average weight is between 8-20 pounds. Anything over that is too big.
it varies from pug to pug but around 13-20 pounds
yes puggles could die from breathing problems as most dogs do depending on age and health problems.
Brindle is the colour and BUlldog is the breed. Brindle means that each individual hair is made up of different colours, typically brown, tan and black rather than being one plain colour.
The Brindel Bulldog is a breed, - a type of Bulldog - u can read more about it on W.E.B.P.S (White English Bulldog Preservation Society)
Pugs do best on a wet diet and not dry food. There are many complete wet foods on the market and you should try to find one that is as natural as possible. If you must feed a dry food make sure you soak it for 1/2 hour in boiling water enough to cover the food and when the water is absorbed and food cooled feed your pug. Alternatively you can prepare your own chicken/lamb and rice with veg there are some good web sites for preparing your own dog food, it is important to make sure they have a healthy balanced and complete diet.
You call a chihuahua and a poodle mixed together a:
Chipoo
i have two pugs, and they are both female, they get along great, but when food or attention is in the picture, they start to fight, so a pugs enemy could be anyone, but i think its just female pugs.
Well what I've noticed was that the Pug-Zu is more furry.
Their fur sticks out more and the pugs are slick and slide back.
I WANT A PUG SO BADLY!
Hickman Video Productions would be my recommendation for a number of different reasons. However, in large part this is mostly due to their main focus. They do a lot of work on family videos and weddings, so know what you'll probably need.
Most dogs menstruate (come in season) approx every 6 months and the first time can be any time from about 7 months of age, They bleed for about 2-3 weeks. It can be less frequently, especially with Pugs, one of my Pug bitches had her first season at 11 months old and comes in season only every 11 months.
You may have some luck looking for a pug puppy that is up for adoption at the local animal shelter/humane society. Believe it or not, a lot of puppies go to humane socieities. Or you may want to consider a pug that is not purebred.
Please always think of adopting before buying from a breeder.
In most cases, no - canine respiratory viruses are not infectious to humans. The one exception I will mention is canine influenza virus - in VERY rare circumstances, the virus can mutate so that it may become infectious to humans. To the best of my knowledge, this has not been documented to occur, but it is a hypothetical possibility.
The average weight range for pugs is anywhere from 18 - 30 pounds, with about 22 pounds being the more common. Some pugs are larger boned than others, so this is the main factor in their weight. But you have to be careful not to let them get overweight because of the breathing problems it can cause due to their short snouts. Being overweight can also result in numerous other medical problems, as well.
It's best to not free feed (keep food available at all times) since pugs do tend to have 'piggish' appetites. I feed my pugs twice a day, at the same times each day. By feeding them twice a day instead of the once a day feeding many people do, I have found that they have much less digestive problems. And it helps control their weight. You also have to be careful to not let them have too many treats between meals, and NO table scraps, no matter how tempted you are to give it to them.
Pups should be weaned at 6 to 8 weeks old to leave their mother.
Generally, dogs of all breeds lick to either taste you (like the salt on your skin) or show submission. If the amount of licking bothers you, there are many positive ways to address that issue. Remember not to yell at your dog for doing it as he/she is only trying to get close to you in some way.
at three weeks of age a pug puppy should still be actively nursing his mother, if the mother is not available, a milk substitute should be fed either by bottle or if the puppy is able to lap up, along with a puppy formulaion of dampened food with the milk substitute
I think they are both very cute, fun, and GREAT to be around! I love dogs and all animals!! People have told me that most boy dogs are the most playful, but I think they are both VERY playful! (especially if they are puppies!) I think you should get a boy and a girl!
