Pug dogs are such an excellent breed that many Pug owners choose to keep more than one. Although, as with all dog breeds there are the exceptions for when a Pug isn't right for everyone and every household. So while you want to look at the positive aspects of the breed it is also a good idea to consider the negative aspects of Pug dogs as well before you make the final decision over whether or not they are the right dog for you and your household. Taking the time to make sure you are selecting a breed that is right for you can lead to a very positive experience with you new dog. Doing research into the negative aspects of Pug dogs will allow you to see if their personality and lifestyle will fit in with your household. So before deciding to add a Pug to your household you want to carefully and seriously consider the nature and characteristics of the breed. Some of the most difficult areas when it comes to Pugs are health issues, shedding and housetraining. Next this article will discuss each area in a little more depth.
When it comes to health, Pug dogs are likely to get many genetic health issues. As a result the Pug dog will require more veterinary care than the average breed of dog. While this won't happen with all Pugs, you should be prepared to spend a lot of time and money at the vet's office. So if you don't want to make this twelve plus year commitment then you may want to consider another breed.

Another common issue is shedding. Despite their short hair, the Pug sheds more than other breeds. So if you don't want to deal with dog fur all over your house, car and clothes then Pug dogs may not be right for you. Nothing you do can help you keep down the amount of shedding a Pug has, you will simple find dog hair all over the place. You can keep the hair down by cleaning, but it would have to be done regularly.
Last is the issue of housetraining.Pug dogs aren't the easiest to train when it comes to dog breeds. The small size of the Pug makes them more difficult to train than a larger breed dog since they have a greater capacity to hold. While size is a big obstacle to housetraining a Pug there is also the issue that Pug dogs tend to be very stubborn at times, which makes them less cooperative to train than other breeds. If you have prior experience with owning dogs and you have a skilled system when it comes to training then you may be able to teach your Pug proper housetraining techniques within about three months of adding them to your household. However, for most people the housetraining of Pug dogs will take at least a year or longer. So if you aren't prepared to deal with an un-housetrained puppy for a few years you likely don't want a Pug.
