Character of the Pug

The perfect little house dog, a bundle of love is the Pug. The Pug is not a dog that you can keep kenneled outside. He must be part of your family and always be close to you. Since the early Shang Dynasty of his Chinese origin, he was bred to be a lap dog. We know the Pug has been favored by all the emperors of China for their loyalty, stamina and courage.

Children and Pugs have a special bond. Just watch them play together. Pugs are born comedians and cannot do enough to please you.

The Pug has a beautiful, soft, plush coat that is easy to care for. But watch out for Pug hairs; they are always on you. No question about it, Pugs shed. But it is a small price to pay for such an adorable creature. He is exceptionally clean and does not drool. However, he snores. Not all the time, only when he is overtired or plays too hard.

If you live in an apartment or house, the Pug is an ideal dog for you. He will bark if someone rings the doorbell but will settle down right away. He win also try to protect you. Other breeds of dogs are his friends. He win certainly defend himself if challenged.

Some say there is a streak of obstinacy in the Pug; there are certainly a few who have to be coaxed, and they are amusing-just like my Tiger. He would take Daddy to the refrigerator when he was hungry. He would wait for Daddy to get his food ready in his dish. Then Tiger would make a mad dash for the living room and jump into my lap. Daddy would have to bring his food to me. I would have to hand feed him each bite. Tiger had me well trained.

If you are looking for an intelligent little dog, the Pug fits the bill. He is always going to be one step ahead of you, and you will love him for it.

When he gets into mischief, he will show you what he did wrong. He will give you a big kiss. There is no way you are going to scold him. He loves sleeping in bed on the piuow or on top of you. Your lap will do if the right television program is on. He loves to run in the yard and play with you and his toys.

The Pug is also a gentle and understanding companion for the senior citizen. He is the best medicine for someone who is ill. He is full of personality and the most affectionate, terrffic, stubborn, perfect companion anybody would want to own. This is a Pug.
