On this page you can answer the questions to determine if a pug is the right breed for you.
Pugs are a very active breed of dog.
They need exercise to keep them from getting overweight. However, due to heat sensitivities, they should not be exercised during the heat of the day or left out in the heat. Usually a leisurely walk is good enough to keep them in shape. Pugs are small dogs, thus they can do well in an apartment environment. If you live in an apartment environment, it becomes even more important to exercise the pugs to let them run out their energy.
