Why do pugs become blind so easily?
Pugs are prone to blindness primarily due to their prominent eyes and brachycephalic (short-faced) structure, which can lead to various eye conditions. Common issues include corneal ulcers, retinal degeneration, and cataracts, all of which can impair vision. Their genetic predisposition to these problems, along with environmental factors, increases the likelihood of blindness as they age. Regular veterinary check-ups can help monitor and manage these risks.

How do you tell whether my pug is pregnant?
All the time! but especially from around day 58/60 onwards, My last litter was born a full 8 days early with no signs of going into labour. Most dogs will not eat before labour starts but Pugs being so greedy this is not always the case, don't leave your dog alone from day 58 onwards and make sure you are with her all through labour, It is not possible to write everything you need to know to whelp your dog here so make sure you have read up and talked to experienced breeders as Pugs are very tricky to whelp and need a lot of help. If in doubt go to the Vet, don't take any chances or you may lose your dog and all her pups.

Most pugs are not actually fat- they just have been bred to have a naturally stocky body shape which may make them seem chunkier then they really are. Unless their owners aren't giving them a proper amount of exercise or are feeding them too much calorie rich food the pug will stay at a healthy weight but may seem fatter than most dogs. However being a Brachycephalic dog means that they often will have trouble breathing when given exercise. Consequently many dog owners just skip exercising their dogs which may result in the common problem of obesity in Pugs.
