Pugs

The Pug is an ancient breed. It was a favorite pet in Buddhist monasteries in Tibet many centuries ago. An adult Pug will weigh 14 to 18 pounds. Covered with a short coat of fine, smooth hair, they require occasional brushing. They enjoy daily exercise in the form of walks or lively games. Pug puppies are dignified yet comical, playful yet confident. They can be stubborn, and they do have a tendency to wheeze and snore, a trait many Pug lovers actually find endearing. The Pug may be crossed with the Havanese to create the Puganese, the Beagle to create the Puggle, or the Poodle to create the Pugapoo.

Considered as one of the most adorable breed of dogs, Pugs are affectionate, bubbly, full of fun, and they know no greater joy than when they are with their person or family. The kids simply love them.

The Shang Dynasty (1600-1046BC) is where the breeding of Pugs all began. In Tibet, Buddhist monasteries kept these dogs as sacred symbols. It was only later that Dutch merchants brought them to Holland and parts of England. Pugs were very popular amongst European Royal families as well. In Holland Pug’s were initially called Mopshond, from the Dutch word "to grumble." Well, they do have a point.

Pug puppies are mainly outgoing and love to be around people and other pets. They are canny and have an inclination to learn. Having obedience and agility as their prime trademarks, they have been used on frequent occasions in the field of medicine as therapy dogs and hearing-aid dogs. It’s apt that they are known as a clown in the canine world. Yes, my friend, Pugs are lots of dog in a tiny package.

Prior to making a choice of Pug puppy, there is one thing that you should know. However endearing, cuddly and alluring Pug puppies may seem, you need to understand that they are NOT Frisbee dogs. Pugs are more of an indoor dog. Under no circumstances should a Pug Puppy should not be left outdoors. Their “pushed in” face makes them prone to a number of respiratory complications. Some of these problems include an elongated soft palate and pneumonia.

Pugs require constant attention so be prepared to give it all that. A well trained Pug is a joy to have around. If you consider buying a Pug, head over to Animaroo.com which will give tips and information needed in obtaining one. The positive testimonials from Missouri and Ohio say it all.
