Around since 400 B.C., Pugs are historically beloved dogs. Emperors, monks, and royalty alike couldn’t resist the charm of these friendly, flat-faced companions. A little treat is all it takes to train these smart pups. Playful, affectionate, and happy-go-lucky, they are one of the most easygoing family dogs you can find. They make a great match for most people and lifestyles! Full-grown, they typically weigh 14-18 pounds and stand 10-13 inches tall.

Pugs are generally excellent with children of all ages. They love their family, children, guests, new dogs, and other pets. Pugs may be small but can stand up to the innocent roughhousing of children, and they definitely won’t mind all the attention! They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

Pugs are lively dogs but do not require much exercise. They will enjoy a daily walk, which can also have the added benefit of naturally filing down their nails. Pugs are dog-park friendly and are sure to have a big smile on their faces while playing with others! Overall, their exercise needs are low.

Pugs are known for their irresistible smushed faces and large expressive eyes. Their coat comes in a variety of colors but should all feature a dark muzzle. Pugs do shed, but regular brushing and bathing can help. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Pugs are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They don’t require much space to be content, but they do prefer moderate temperatures. They are fairly easy to train.
