This is a breed with great charm, dignity and intelligence, though, like other intelligent breeds, he can be rather selfwilled. The Pug is an eventempered breed with a happy, lively disposition. The friendship displayed is often effusive; indeed, most Pugs seem constantly delighted to meet people and show special affection to children. However, although the Pug shows friendliness toward strangers, it is to his owner and family that he is most devoted.

A male and female Pug (notice the difference in size) get along quite well in the same household.

“Getting to know you” the toy-dog way, as this Pug makes the acquaintance of a Yorkshire Terrier friend.

The Pug is a fearless breed that, despite his diminutive size, enjoys exercise outdoors and has something of a brave, sporting instinct that can occasionally cause him to run into trouble with other dogs. That is not to say that Pugs are generally aggressive, though they might appear so sometimes because of jealousy.

Inside the home, the Pug likes nothing more than warmth and comfort, with general affection and petting bestowed on him by his owners.

Pugs and children can spend many happy hours together; however, children should always be supervised when spending time with dogs.
