About Pug Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Pug, originating in ancient China as a cherished companion and now classified in the Toy Group, is a small, sturdy dog known for its affectionate, comical personality and devotion to family. Typically 10-13 inches tall and 14-18 pounds, it has a compact build, a wrinkled face with large expressive eyes, a short nose, and a curled tail. Energy needs are generally low; short daily walks and indoor play usually suffice, and care should include keeping them cool and avoiding overexertion due to their short nosed breathing and heat sensitivity. Grooming is straightforward with a short, smooth coat that sheds year round; regular brushing, wrinkle cleaning, nail trims, and ear care help keep them comfortable. They are not hypoallergenic. Common health concerns include breathing difficulties related to their short muzzle, obesity, eye injuries and irritation, skin fold infections, and joint issues such as hip and knee problems, with a rare breed specific brain inflammation also reported; maintaining a healthy weight and using a harness can support their well being.
