What kind of dog doesn't grow?
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.
What is wrong with a pug with a straight tail?
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?
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.
The care and training of a pug?
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.
What was the Pug first bred for?
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

Why does a pug have a wrinkles?
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.

Two breeds of dog don't make offspring to look like another, chances are you'll have a dog with breathing problems from the pugs side and goofiness from the Bullies side.
My Chihuahua is a very loyal dog by far the most loyal dog ive ever owned. She loves everyone in our family but i do have to say i can tell i am her favorite out of the family. They are also very good "WATCH"dogs! If she see's or hear's anyone outside she will let you know! The reason i emphasized Watch is because she's under 3 lbs. So she's not going to fight off anyone but she definitely will let you know! If any downfalls for Chihuahuas is they do get jealous of other pets. So might not be best pet if you want alot of animals. Guess you could say they love attention & dont like sharing. Thats towards other animals & not people that may be why some people say they love only 1 person.
At home, no - this would be illegal and you would risk killing your dog. If your female dog has recently come out of heat and was bred by a male dog, your veterinarian can administer a "mis-mating" shot (basically high-dose progesterone, or birth control) that should keep her from carrying any puppies. However, if your female is already confirmed pregnant, the most a veterinarian can do is spay your female, during which the fetal puppies are terminated. If you absolutely need a single litter aborted, but the female left intact, you will need to contact a veterinary theriogenologist for assistance - this is going to be an expensive and risky surgery.
How many celebrities own pugs?
Chihuahuas. Yorkies are more for Dog Contest people and chihuahuas are for celebrities. From magazines, I usally see chihuahuas with celebrities.
Yes, Poms fart quite a bit, especially if they are overweight. My little Pom is adorable and sweet, but his farts are almost unbearable. He seems to fart the most when he's resting or sleeping. I just keep a box of matches handy and strike one as soon as I smell it and the match immediately takes the odor away. The fire absorbs the methane in the fart. I think everything living passes gas some time or another. :(
