Chug Puppies For Sale

As a cross between Chihuahuas and Pugs, Chugs are a mixed breed with unpredictable personalities. Some are silly and playful, while others are relaxed and independent. One thing is for sure, though: these dogs don’t think they’re small and won’t hesitate to show you what they’re made of. Full-grown, they typically weigh 10-18 pounds and stand 10-13 inches tall.

Chugs are generally not the best fit for families with young kids. Most Chugs are kind and affectionate, making them great family playmates. However, because of their size, they get along best with older children who know how to handle them gently. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

The Chug has low to medium energy and will adapt to their family’s lifestyle. They like to walk or play every day, but they’re perfectly content lying on the couch with you afterward. If your Chug has strong Pug genes, it’s more likely to gain weight, so spend a little extra time on exercise to keep it fit. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

Chugs can have short, smooth fur or longer coats if one of their ancestors is a long-haired Chihuahua. Most Chugs shed quite a bit, so keep a brush handy to groom them every few days. If your pup has facial wrinkles, make sure to keep them clean and dry to prevent infection. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Chugs are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Chugs love people, though, and should be primarily kept as indoor dogs. They can live in just about any setting, but their barking may not be a good fit for apartment life or close quarters. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
