What You Will Get With A Pug
from:Before getting a Pug you want to consider both the positive and
negative aspects. Health issues and shedding are two things to
consider. Finally you should consider the issue to housetraining.
Pug dogs are an excellent breed of dog and many choose to add
more than one to their household. However, as with all dog
breeds, the Pug isn't for everyone and every household.
Therefore, it is best to consider the negative aspects of the
breed before determining if they are the right dogs for you and
your household. By properly selecting a breed that will work
with you then you can make sure you have a positive experience.
By doing your research and considering the negative aspects of a
Pug dogs you will be able to determine if the personality and
lifestyle of a put will fit with you and your household. So
carefully and seriously consider the nature and characteristics
of Pug dogs before you make the decision to add one to your
household. The three most difficult areas include health issues,
shedding and housetraining. Each will be discussed in more
detail next.
Genetic health issues are common with Pug dogs. So the Pug is
likely to need more veterinary care than other breeds. While
this doesn't mean that your Pug will have health problems, it is
still a good idea to be prepared to spend a good portion of your
time and money at the vet's office. So if you don't like the
sound of making this type of twelve plus year commitment then
you may want to consider another breed of dog.
Another common problem with Pug dogs is shedding. They will shed
more than other breeds even with a short coat. So if you don't
want to deal with fur all over your house, car and clothes then
you might want to consider another breed. You will just have to
deal with the shedding of a Pug since there isn't much you can
do to reduce the shedding. The only way to keep the hair down is
with regular cleaning in order to keep your house, car and
clothes looking presentable.
The last issue to consider with Pug dogs is housetraining. When
it comes to dog breeds, the Pug isn't the easiest to train. Due
to their small size they are more difficult to train than a
larger breed dog, which has a greater capacity to hold. Although
size isn't the only obstacle, it is also the issue that Pug dogs
tend to be very stubborn at times, making them less cooperative
to train than other dog breeds. Those who have owned Pug dogs
before or have a skilled training system in place from owning
any breed of dog before, then training a Pug may be able to
happen within three months of adding the dog to your household.
However, in general you should expect to take at least a year or
more to teach Pug dog proper housetraining techniques. So if you
don't want to deal with a puppy that isn't housetrained for a
few years then you likely don't want a Pug.
