What are the types of pugs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well I'm guessing by type you mean colors, so the only real pug colors accepted by the akc is fawn, which is a tan color with a black mask and black ears, there is also a black pug. As far as others there are brindle and white, which are not accepted by the AKC and no responsible breeder would purposely breed these colors. They maybe cute and they may even be called "rare" they are not really true to the breed, and would never be allowed in dogs shows.

Asked by Wiki User

no most pugs have severe separation anxiety when the people they have attached leave them. They will worry themselves sick...litterally. So if you are going on vacation make sure to either find a close friend to send them to so they won't be alone alot or find a pet friendly hotel. also if you travel alot on the job maybe you need a different breed

What is wrong with a pug with a straight tail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nothing, as long as your dog is a pet it really makes no difference, a show dog should have a curly tail but it is only for looks. Your dogs tail could have been dislocated when it was a puppy or just been born that way but I am sure he/she is lovely straight tail and all and will lead a full and happy life.

Signs that pug is going blind?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Signs that your pug may be going blind are crashing into walls, or sometimes just bumping into things. A good way to test this is to move something that has been in the same spot for a long time such as a chair or set a box in the middle of the floor and see what happens. Also a cloudiness in the eyes can indicate an infection in a young dog, or cataracts in an older dog. But not to fret, blind dogs can still have quality of life and live and long and happy one.

Where can you find a pug dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would recommend you purchase a poodle from a reputable breeder. The kennel club associated will be able to put you in touch of reputable breeders. Always view both parents before purchase and obtain proof that both parents are hip and eye tested.

Your locak newspaper may also list people who are selling poodles. Also obtain the pedigree certificate of the poodle and insure it is healthy.

to find a poodle you can look first at a pet shop.if you don't think that is the right place look for a breeder .sometimes you can find them in Dog Fancy maginzine.if you get a one of those there are ads in the back for all kinds of dogs (poodles too!) ****Additional answer: www.akc.org

Why does a pug have a wrinkles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They have rolls/wrinkles on their face because back when bulldogs used to bait bulls the wrinkles kept the blood (from the bull's nose) from running into their eyes, nose, and mouth. It also is because they do not have a snout, although some still have wrinkles when they have a small snout.
