Research and more research is the key to help you make the most of this big life decision. It is important to note that pugs are brachycephalic breeds, so they snore quite a lot, and guess what? They always want to sleep with you and will even worm their way under the bed covers if they can get away with it. Pugs are at their happiest when their whole pack (family) are together. A pug does not like to be alone and can develop separation anxiety if left alone too often. Consider this,if your a nine to five human. Make arrangements to have someone come by for a walk / pee break during the day to alleviate your pugs loneliness. You can expect to clean many accidents when your pug puppy first arrives. Pug puppies have very small bladders and bowels, just like a human baby, so expect frequent bathroom breaks, i.e outside walks. Multiple walks outside will help you and your pug puppy develop a happy relationship for years to come. I’m no pugspert but, if you learn to love your pug, you will have a friend for life.
