Breed Description: "The Pug is a sturdy, compact, squarely proportioned breed endowed with a soft, smooth coat, furry ears, and a dark muzzle. It has a somewhat undershot bite, a tightly curled tail, a unique rolling pace, and dark, emotive eyes."


Appearance/Size:  "Size: Small, Height: 10 - 14 inches, Weight: 13 - 20 pounds"


Diet:  "Also, the owner needs to be careful in feeding it, as a Pug tends to become obese with uncontrolled feeding."


Temperament: "This is an even-tempered breed, exhibiting stability, playfulness, great charm, dignity, and an outgoing, loving disposition."


Shedding: " Occasional brushing of the coat will do to remove dead hair. Also, the Pug needs to be thoroughly dried after a bath to avoid chills."


Health/Allergies/Vaccine:"The Pug is prone to colds and allergies, as it is easily affected by extreme weather conditions. Breathing problems are also common, due to its short muzzle. It also has sensitive eyes and skin and is prone to hip dysplasia"
