Personality plays a big role in choosing a new dog, or for the
less shallow humans that long for a meaningful relationship. Personality
plays an especially large role with a pug, because of the enormous
amount of time one will be seeing it. The personality of the pug
differs by gender, but usually meshes together when progressing
in age. As puppies, both genders are very playful as well and
will exhibit a strong display of energy and rowdiness at times.
Of course, these are generalizations about the genders, but these
have held true in most cases for quite some time.
Male Personality
If one is looking for a loving, laid-back pug, a male is a good
route to take. This gender is more people-orientated as it likes
to stay around people more than a female and is much more dependent
on a person to satisfy its needs. If an owner is looking for that
type of relationship with a dog, then a male is a slightly better
option of pug. The male will tend to hover around its owner constantly,
and will show concern and cases of sadness when its owners are
gone.
A male pug obviously requires a little more work, but the owner
of a male pug will receive a little more attention from it and
a lot more dependence. The male pug would be much more willing
to lie on one’s lap while on the computer or on the couch while
watching television. A pug is generalized as a companion dog,
but when dissecting the genders, a male is more willing to hang
around its owner than a female.
Female Personality
Male pugs are certainly more dependent on their owners, but females
will also show plenty of love and affection towards its owners.
It is not like a cat; however the personality of the female pug
will still make it follow its owner around for long periods of
time and act in a playful manner in an attempt to impress - that
is, if she is not sleeping which is what most pugs do best.
The main difference of course is the female’s independence, which
is a good thing for many owners. The notion of a dog following
you around at all times may seem like a good idea now, but imagining
how that will feel when the dog is actually doing it is a completely
different thing. Having a little alone time while the dog does
its thing while you do yours can be beneficial to any relationship
– and a pug is no different.
As stated before, these personalities tend to gel together when
they advance in age. The pug’s personality will still be playful
creatures, but both genders will spend more time on the couch
with you to rest those weary legs. One thing to expect with a
pug for sure is that its exuberance for life and its caring attitude
towards just about anyone can and most likely will improve the
disposition of just about any person that decides to get a new
pug. What
one can expect from a pug is a loyal companion and a friend
for life.
