ANSWER: The first thing you need to know is that a Pug can easily require surgery to its upper respiratory passages that can run a ‘few’ thousand dollars to breathe. They also need the folds around their face cleaned every day with antiseptic or they stick due to bacterial growth. The best way to learn about Pugs is to find the local Pug Club and ask if you could visit a breeder. Reputable people who raise purebred dogs are happy to educate those who want to know more about their dogs – you might also go to a dog show and meet them there and ask questions after they have been in the show ring- but never before. If you go to a dog show you will meet more than one breeder and many dogs. Here is the website for the Pug Club- http://www.pugs.org/ Some important reading: http://www.pugs.org/indexhealth.htm The local chapter clubs contact information http://www.pugs.org/indexClubInfo.htm
