A double curl is highly sought after and considered perfect. A Pug's coat should be a fine, soft, and short hair. It should be smooth and glossy and can be either silver, apricot-fawn or black. The Pug's temperament is probably one of its most sought after features. In my over twenty-five years association with Pugs I have yet to meet one, whether it be in a friend's home or a stranger walking one on the street, that was not friendly and outgoing even to strangers and little children.
Pugs seem to love everyone equally and energetically.
They are excellent with children. While they qualify as a small dog don't let that concern you. They are a rugged little breed and hearty when it comes to the rough and tumble play that children can sometimes engage in. They are sensible enough to disappear when the play gets to rough or does not go in a way they expect it should. I have never heard a Pug growl in earnest.
