Dog breeds: Pug

Back to list of breeds

The Pug, also called Mops or Carlin, is a toy breed that originated in China some where around 400 B.C. This small dog stands between 10 and 11 inches and weighs between 13 and 18 pounds. They have a short, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colors including fawn, black, silver and apricot. It is not uncommon for the Pug to also have a black face or muzzle mask. This is a healthy breed, but they are known for having problems with epilepsy and certain respiratory issues as well.

Pugs are known for a goofy and fun personality and when raised correctly enjoy pleasing their owner.

This breed can be somewhat stubborn to train but with patience can make a very obedient companion. Spend a lot of time 'showing' your dog what is expected before you use corrections to proof their obedience training. Start training your pug at a young age as they can be prone to dominance and the related unwanted behaviors that come with dominance.

Pam's Pug Puppies
I raise AKC reg. pug puppies and have been doing so for 10 years now. I only raise pugs.
The puppies come with a 1 year health contract, vet checked, clean and ready for their new homes.
The puppies sell for $400 and If needed shipping is an added $275 with a crate for you to keep. I will also (within reason) drive and meet for a small fee as well.
My email address is puglady1972@yahoo.com. If you are interested in a male or female pug puppie let me know and I will send out some photos of what I have for sale at this time.
