Quote From An Owner: Pugs are great dogs to live with.  You can fit a lot of them in one space, and they fit into your lifestyle.  An owner who is not as active as another owner will have a less active Pug.  Pugs are comedians, always set to please, and always doing something funny.  They are worry-free in the show ring, because they know they are the cutest dogs at the show!  Pugs have different varieties (blacks, fawns, and silvers) but they are not treated as different Pugs.  Pugs have a tall version and a short version,   but short-legged Pugs are preferred.  The original Pug, first bred in China, was a lean, leggy Pug.  They were bred to be companions for the emperor, and he gave them as gifts.  Queen Victoria of England received a Pug, and their popularity grew throughout Europe.  Today the Pug is a very popular breed, and why not?  They may not be smooth, but they are posh, especially when you dress them up.

AKC Weight: Ideally, from 14 to 18 pounds. Color: Silver, apricot-fawn, or black. 

Basic Requirements: Pugs do well in smaller homes and apartments, although they still need a moderate amount of exercise. They cannot be left outside for long in hot weather as they can easily overheat. Weekly brushing and occasional bathing will help to control minor to moderate shedding.
