Snoring!  Pugs snore when they’re asleep . . . and often when awake as well.

 Pugs clear their nasal passages by expelling air forcefully through their nose;  this usually happens when you have your face near their face. Will you mind having "Pug Snot " blown into your face multiple times each day ?

Pugs are a breed created to be a companion dog. Pugs crave the company of people;Pugs don’t enjoy being left alone for long periods of time.  If your lifestyle necessitates leaving your Pug alone for more than 6 hours, do you plan to make arrangements to break up the monotony of a long, lonely day for your Pug ? Loneliness and boredom can cause Pugs to bark excessively, become destructive chewers or even house-soil.  Many working Pug owners enroll their Pugs in doggy day-care or leave them with a dog-sitter, friend or family member while away from home.    

 Pugs can gain weight easily; they need a premium diet and healthy treats. 

Pugs nails grow very fast and need to be trimmed often. Pugs have a facial folds in which dirt & loose fur often collect.  If not kept clean,  the skin in a Pugs facial folds can quickly become sore, irritated and infected. With their flat face, a Pug’s eyes are more vulnerable to injury as they have no muzzle to part long grass or deflect the claws of an annoyed or angry cat.
