The Pug is well known for their large and outgoing personality both as a puppy and as an adult. Due to their wrinkled and flat face the Pug has a very unique appearance. People often choose Pug puppies for their personalities, but there are other factors you should consider before making the final decision to add a Pug to your household.

Since the Pug is good with children they are an excellent choice for a family pet. Pugs will get along with other animals, but you should carefully consider the other pets and breeds already in your home before adding a Pug, because jealousy is always an issue. Pugs are good watchdogs but this also means that they will bark at anything that gets close to the house, so consider this when choosing the breed. Pugs also make an excellent option for those who live in small apartments or houses because of their small size. They don't require a lot of space and yet they are playful.
The next thing you should consider with Pug puppies is the high level of maintenance that is required. The short coat of the Pug means you won't have to worry about trimming any fur. However, regularly brushing and nail trims are necessary since they will shed a lot and their nails will grow fast. Their face will need to be cleaned more than other breeds due to the wrinkles on their face that make them unique. So if regular grooming is an issue you may want to consider another breed.

The Pug is also an excellent choice for those who want a dog that will be around most of the time. As a human friendly breed the Pug will often attach himself or herself to one person and eventually start following them from room to room. As a result if you ignore them for too long they will start to demand your attention. Because of their strong and outgoing personality this can be annoying at times.
If you are going to addPug puppies to your household then you need to make sure that you can provide them with a steady and safe indoor environment. Not only does the Pug like to be near other people, but they can also experience a variety of health related issues if they are left outside and have exposure to the heat, cold or the outdoors in general. The Pug is also highly prone to allergies and colds as result of their wrinkled and flat face. Another issue is excessive weight gain, which is common with Pugs, so you will have to carefully monitor your dog's food intake.

Before deciding if the Pug is a right breed for you and your household you should carefully think over all the pros and cons of having a Pug dog. Making sure you have the right dog can make all the difference between a positive and a negative match. Never choose a breed without doing the proper research first.
