You want a pug. You've wanted one for years. You hopefully have done some research and think this is the breed for you.
Here's what it's really like to live with a pug, illustrated by the one and only Gemma Gené who draws about her pug Mochi. It's hilarious and adorable, yet it captures the essence.
Check it out below! …and if you already live with a pug (or pugs), see if you can relate! LOL
#1: They want to be with you. ALL THE TIME.
Have you ever heard parents with kids say that they never get to go to the bathroom by themselves anymore? Well, it's pretty much the same thing with a pug!
They tend to be pretty attached, and will follow you around the house everywhere you go. They will be at your feet when you're at your standing desk, curled up in your lap when you're on the couch, and sitting a foot behind you when you're at your computer desk!
If you want a dog that stays off the furniture or sleeps on the floor rather than your bed, you may have a bit of a challenge with a pug. And you may have to deal with a good amount of separation anxiety.
If you're cool with a dog that thinks he's attached to you with velcro… then a pug is a good breed for you!

I got my puggy as a puppy. Being aware that pugs tend to over eat, I fed him a bowl of food at dinner time, and picked it up when he was done eating. Now he has food down all the time, and he doesnt over eat, unless it comes to TREATS. We cant even say the word because he will lose his mind!

I find pugs r really cute ! But if I have love working hours , should i still get a pug? Is it ok to leave a pug alone at home? Btw, does it chew up your furniture / shoes ?

Ranger doesn’t chew stuff up. But he has lots of toys to chew on. He can sleep 10-12 hours at night and not need to get up to pee! He’s 5 months old.

Thank you so much for ur reply ! Oh, how much hair does it shed ? A lot ?

My Pug barely sheds but he’s mostly black. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. He chewed a lot first 6 months then he has slowed down. Loves to eat, cuddle, & sleep now that he’s year old. Best dog breed ever in my opinion.

Andy Tan They do shed a lot. But it is very fine short hair. You will find it when you sweep up or run the vacuum. It is called pug glitter!
