Pugs

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!

Yes they can live outside. But should have a dog house. They should be in a fenced in yard or have a long chain for them to be attached to the dog house to the dog house .They should come inside during harsh weather conditions . Like a flood,t-storm, lightning , tornado , hurricane, and heavy rain.

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.

Puggles generally grow to be 15-25 lbs. and approximately 13-15 inches at the shoulder. Puggles can, of course be upward of 30 lbs, or as small as 12 lbs. This depends on many factors such as the size of the parents, as well as the size of the litter.

because they are a toy breed their joints won't allow them to grow anymore just like dwarf/midget they just can't grow anymore their joints wont allow them to.

About 50% of pugs are overweight.

they live up to 15 years.i have one and i love him.his name is buster.make sure if you get one dont feed them flours and they over heat easy so have fun!!!

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

NO, well some pugs might....but im not sure.......i know my pug HATES it!

A puppy or Puglet

Normal weight for a pug would be from 14 - 18 pounds.

A shih tzu or a corgi, corgis grow half and they turn out to look like mini German shepherds. A shih tzu is a small little dog and only grows about a German shepherd size. The next 1 is a chihuaua, its very small and grows like a German puppy also.

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 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.

Well, pugs are hard dogs to train, and practice and time will be needed, as well as treats, pugs learn well with food! But do not expect for them to do amazing things, they can just perfrom sit, lye down come and other easy commands, but if you want you could teach them harder things.

yes like any other dog . but as they have short fur they don't moult allot but the fur does tend to stick to your clothing and furniture

They don't. If your pug has an unusual odor, it needs to be seen at the vet. There may be a skin infection of some type of dental disease present. Please vet your pug at least yearly and as needed for any concerns.

pugs were bred by the Chinese to catch escaped prisoners. They are small, but are extremly strong for their size. their jaws lock so that you would have to pry it apart with a stick to release whatever was in there
Pugs are in the toy group meaning that they aren't meant for anything except that they are lap dogs and because their so cute!

It's only a matter of opinion; there is no right or wrong. Some people absolutely adore them and think they are the bes dog breed ever(like me) but some people think they are horrible, ugly creatures(usually elderly people)

Hope it helped :D

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

Pugs are an extremely popular dog, known for being loving and playful. Plenty of people own pugs! A great way to socialize with your pug is to look into where a Pug Meet-Up event may be happening in your area. Check out this website: http://pug.meetup.com/

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.

A standard poodle should way anywhere from forty to sixty pounds to be considered healthy. A miniature poodle will weigh adequately less at 18-20 pounds
