Pugs tails are tightly curled and normally rest up on their short backs. Some dogs have double curls in their tails. Playful, charming, loyal and affectionate are all terms that describe the temperament of most Pug dogs. These intelligent dogs can be easily trained with positive reinforcement. They are very sensitive to the tones of human voices so harsh punishment is not recommended.
Pugs even make good watchdogs since they pack a big bark for such a small dog.
They make great pets that are very well behaved and even-tempered around children, other pets, and visitors. Pugs demand a lot of attention and affection from their owners and may become jealous if they feel ignored or left out of family activities. They make a habit of following their owners every move and they love to curl up in a nice warm lap. Grooming a Pug s shorthaired coat is easy. Brush and comb the smooth coat daily with a firm bristled brush and clean the creases on the dog s face daily.
