Pug Owners

Mrs_Moore_To_Be

Hi All,

Im new to this board but not to the forum!

Had a search but cant see a thread like this, wanted to share stories/info with other pug owners. They are quite the characters!

We are thinking of possibly getting another, although ive been told that with Pugs you should do it before they are 2, is this right? Keith will be 2 in November. here is a pic:

Fab idea for a thread! I will be lurking as I am a pug owner in waiting. One day the time will be right, until then can I ask that all you lucky lucky owners post as many pictures as you can to satisfy my pug craving??!

Ive only had a pug so not sure how it compares but the insurance is about the same as others. They are known for eye and throat problems and ours has had a few eye probs but nothing too bad. Touch wood! x

I have two dogs in a one bed flat with no garden, it can be done it just involves a bit more effort and the end of lie-ins!

Mine don't 'ask' to go, they go at about 5 set times during the day and seem perfectly happy to just hold it until they're taken out.

Do crossbreeds count? I have a Pug crossed with a Lhasa Apso. His name is Casper and we love him. He is my perfect dog. Have to say we did look for a purebred pug, but they were just too expensive. Have thought often about getting another dog, but I think Casper would get very jealous as he loves his mummy. He does share his home with 3 cats, a rabbit who lives in the garden and comes into eat, 4 guinea pigs and a tortoise (very small!!). He is brilliant with them all, except for Harley one of my cats who is very nervous and runs away from Casper and of course Casper chases after him.

Your 'Keith' is beautiful. If he is as besotted with you as you are with him, I wouldn't introduce another one, but that is only my opinion.
