Breed Nature and Personality)

Pugs are known for being perpetually happy, affectionate, loyal, charming, playful and mischievous.

Pugs can be great watchdogs, but they aren't as inclined to bark like other breeds such as the Yorkshire Terrier. This is something your neighbors will appreciate. With or without training, Pugs generally get along well with other animals and children. The Pug is not a snappy or violent breed, so it makes for the perfect family pet.

 

Known Health Problems)

Overall the Pug is generally a healthy and sturdy breed. But like most flat faced dogs, they suffer from labored breathing problems, especially in hot climates.
