How Much Are Pug Puppies/sphynx Cats?
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012How Much Are Pug Puppies?
Saturday, January 14th, 2012I really want a pug puppy, we live in England, I’m after a bitch, either a pedigree or not, but wondered what the price of them are?
im guessing the stars mean you want a female 
I was lucky to get a 1 1/4 year old pug girl that was un-neutered for 200 pounds because to owners just wanted her to go to a good home, she had a yeast infection (her belly hair was missing) but i’ve helped her grown it all back and she looks like a new pug.
most pugs can be bought for 1,200 pounds or less, some sell them for 500-800, but you could get a Puggle (pugXbeagle), Chug (pugXchihuahua), Jug (pugXjackrussell) etc. for much less (200-500 pounds), some will look more like the pug than the mix, the best place to find pugs are;

Am I Just Asking for Trouble if I Adopt Two Pug Puppies Together?
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012We are considering adopting two 17 week old pug brothers. They are very bonder and are used to sleeping together, eating together, playing together, etc. We feel bad only taking one and leaving the other one behind. My question is….am I only asking for trouble if I take two home? Will it be harder or easier having two together. I’m not too sure if it will be more difficult, or if it will actually be easier if they are able to learn together and from one another. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
Yep,sure are.
Twice the time to train,double the trouble, …double *everything*!! They’ll only BAD behaviors "from each other".
They’ll be just fine..BETTER…when separated permanently.
Please,stop anthropomorphizing! They’re dogs,not human "brothers".
I Am Wondering What Should I Sell My Shih Tzu Pug Mix Puppies For?
Thursday, November 17th, 2011What is the difference in the selling amount of not registering & vaccinating?
How do I go about registering five 6 week puppies?
I have a full bred shih tzu and pug but no papers… can I still register the puppies?
I am not a breeder and the puppies came about by accident I just figured to see what I can do to price them right.
Any other suggestions?
1. They are mutts and cannot be registered with any LEGIT registry
2. If you’re not going to bother to vaccinate them before going to their new homes you are better off dropping them at a shelter where they will have a real chance
3. price 50 if vaccinated and wormed.
4. Take the money from the sale of the pups and have your dogs fixed. That way there won’t be any more owner negligent "accidents"
How to Choose the Right Pug Puppy for You
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011
When you are visiting a breeder’s litter as answering his or her ads or a house with puppies and if it is the first time you are seeing pug puppies, it’s quite natural to think every pug pup in the litter is the cutest. Nevertheless, you should know that there are other factors but “cuteness” to consider when deciding which puppy is right one to take at your home. The buyers should test the pug puppies overall playfulness, personality, and willingness to be around other dogs or new people. You can test them in a few minutes and without doing them any harm. Thus you should be aware of the puppies’ main features and take the right decision when choosing the right pug puppy for your family.
What to Test
After taking a good look at the litter, the buyer should choose some puppies he likes and take each of them apart to evaluate their qualities. Without the influence of the other pups, it is easier to tell what the individual personality of that puppy is. Play with the pup to see how it reacts to your presence. If the pug pup does not like being around different people then a different pug may be more personable at the start.
You’ll find out that the best way to determine the main features of the puppy is to take each one of them alone on such a “test drive”. Seeing how it reacts when away from the litter will be a good indicator of what the pug will be like when it comes home. It will also help determine if the puppy can handle being around new people and how it reacts when introduced to new faces in different places.
Other Information
You can get actual information about the pug puppy through interviewing the owner or breeder. Good and responsible breeders have answers to almost any question or concern potential buyers have. You can also obtain from the breeder the health and immunization records of the pug pup, and any information about its personality quirks or disorders. These records will help you how to choose the right pug pup. The owner or breeder will be able to explain to the buyer how aggressive each pug is and how well they get along with each other.
Some breeders raise only competition dogs. They are not the appropriate choice as family pets. It is better to obtain from the start all the information you need about both the dog and the breeder or person giving it away. Dogs have personalities just like people, and not all are what an owner could be looking for.
You need to consider many different factors to correctly choose the pug puppy to be best for you and your family. Taking into account the dog’s personality, playfulness, and attitude toward strangers will be good steps in choosing a dog that will undergo the smoothest transition into a new home. There are people who like a specific pug pup in despite of its attitude problems, and they need to put the pug pup through some obedience and discipline training.
Other people have different major concerns in their lives and the routine visits to the vet and the housetraining will be enough work for them. Choosing the right pug puppy for your family is not an easy job. And consider you should think at the pup’s gender too.
Take the right decision when choosing the right pug puppy for your family. Each dog has its own personality. Correctly choose the pug puppyto be best for you and your family.
Pug Puppies
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011Pugs are an adorable breed of dog that make perfect house pets. Their heavily wrinkled round, flat faces characterize these dogs. Pugs are classified as toy dogs by the American Kennel Club and are the largest breed in the category.
Pugs originated in China in about 700 BC. They were not bred as a guard dog but as a human companion. The breed comes in four colors, namely black, fawn, silver and apricot. All Pugs have their tail curled up tightly over their hip.
It is said that all puppies are adorable, but Pug puppies have a charm of their own. These pups are born in a litter of about 2 to 5 pups. At birth, a Pug puppy is no bigger than a large mouse and hence will need extra care and attention. Pug mothers tend to care well for their litter. When born, Pug puppies are distinctly different from their parents. Their color tends to be different at birth and changes over time. A very common example is that of a fawn Pug, which at birth is completely black. Its tail is straight at birth and curls as the pup grows up.
Although they might seem small and frail, Pug puppies are extremely active. They require a lot of exercise to stay fit and enjoy running around. Owing to their size, they tend to tire easily and sleep for hours on end. In spite of their active nature, Pug puppies are rarely destructive. Owners usually do not have to worry about the safety of household appliances and furniture.
Pugs mature and stabilize as they grow up. As the breed is known to be stubborn, one must start training early to get a positive result. While training a Pug puppy, one should be patient as they get easily bored by repetitive training sessions. Pugs are sensitive dogs and therefore harsh punishment should be avoided during training.
The puppy should be given its time and space to grow and learn the rules of its home. When fully matured, Pugs make a great family pet.

Easy Tips on How to Care for Pug Puppies
Friday, July 22nd, 2011A Pug is a wonderful breed to adopt and learning how to care for Pug puppies is imperative before you bring a new puppy into your home.
Like all puppies, Pugs need the right nutrients for development, especially in their first year. Proper nutrition contributes a great deal to brain development and total health so you want to be sure to feed your puppy a good quality, nutritious dog food.
How do you tell if your dog food is the best?
It is vital to review the label on any bag of dog food that you buy before using it, to make certain that it contains only healthy ingredients and does not have filler. By verifying that chicken, lamb or beef meal is the first ingredient listed, you will ensure that your young pug will get enough protein. It is unwise to give your leftovers to your pug. You should also be careful not to overfeed him, as this can lead to him becoming overweight.
Providing the best care for pug puppies also includes getting the right supplies such as bowls for food and water. Also, look for a harness that fits well and a leash for your little guy, as well as a crate of an appropriate size and a dog bed. And don’t forget toys to keep your Pug entertained!
A lot of care must be taken while buying food and water bowls for your pup. The depth and narrowness of the bowl is very important. You should buy bowls which are wide and shallow as then the risk of your pup having eye infections due to constant touching of the puppies eyes to the bowl’s side or the food is almost eliminated.
The size of the crate and dog bed for your Pug is very important. These puppies although very small at the beginning will grow up ,so pick up something which will be able to house him through a period of time. If you are going for a larger crate you can divide it using a partition when he is small and latter on remove the partition to accommodate him after he has grown up.
It is a good idea to use a harness on your Pug instead of a dog collar. A harness fits around the dog’s body, as opposed to collars that are attached around the dog’s neck. Pulling on a collar can constrict the windpipe and this can lead to choking. To avoid damage to your Pug’s windpipe or any other potential problems, the best choice is a harness.
If you’ve got a good head on your shoulders and know the basics of good canine care, you’ll have no problem learning how to care for Pug puppies. Just be sure to provide good food, a loving home, and proper veterinarian care, and you’ll have a healthy and happy buddy for life!

Pug Training Mindset: Psychological Insight on Training a Pug
Thursday, July 21st, 2011
Pugs are arguably one of the most coveted dog breeds. Their distinctive physical characteristics like their scrunched, wrinkled snout and big, doting eyes along with their charismatic personality are part of what makes them so cute and lovable. Unfortunately many people acquire this playful little dog before doing their due diligence regarding how to train a Pug or understanding the psychological profile of the typical Pug.
Pugs in addition to being fun, affectionate, sensitive and loyal they are also indeed stubborn, manipulative and overly confident. Therefore pug obedience training is high priority and should take place as early as possible. Ideally anytime from 12 weeks of age onto 6 months of age. Do your training in small isolated blocks of time. Puppies just like children have short attention spans. The key to success is repeat, repeat, repeat and reinforce positive behavior with a treat rewards.
It’s also important to know that Pugs are highly motivated by food!
If you are already a pug owner then you have likely witnessed that many pugs act larger than they are. They are also quite eager to greet new people and other dogs and are prone jumping up on others for attention. These traits can be safety issues for your pug if they are not addressed but fortunately are easily corrected with proper training.
Another attribute of a pug is their desire to please. Pugs are people dogs and they long to be by your side all the time. This is important to note because it can lead to attachment and socialization problems. It is recommended to accustom your pug to other humans and dogs at a young age. Pugs generally interact great with others, especially with small children.
Once Pug psychology is understood you are now ready to move forward with actual mechanics of Pug training. You can find more detailed article by searching on “pug training” or “how to train a pug” but here is an abbreviated list for your convenience.
First, you must establish your alpha dog role and take control of your household. Although small and innocent looking pugs are headstrong and… They are truly a different breed and have a way all their own. Ever heard the phrase “I am not a dog owner, I am a PUG owner!”? Many Pug owners let their dogs have free reign of the house, including their bed and couches. This type of owner behavior can send mix signals and give the Pug the impression they are the alpha dog in the house.
Once your alpha position is established you need to create ground rules for acceptable behavior in the house. Do not be seduced by your pug’s cuteness! It is not cute for your puppy to bite you while playing or to tilt his head when you call him to come and he only sits there, or to bark at the squirrels, or, or… well I hope you get the point here. Everything you do or don’t do is considered Pug training in the eyes of your Pug. You need to determine whether your pug will be allowed on the couch, in bed, to beg for food and so on from the first day your new companion comes home with you.
Pugs are creatures of habit so you will need to institute a regular schedule your Pug can count on day in and day out. Here are some areas to consider when creating a consistent schedule.
- Feeding times
- Walking
- Play time/mental stimulation
I hope you have found this article helpful.
Until next time!

A Look at Some of the Common Pug Health Problems
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011If you have a pug dog, you might want to look up some of the health problems in order to keep your pug healthy and alive. There are many pug health problems you should look out for and you need to know how to determine if they have the disease. When you take your pug home from the puppy store or local breeder, you should always look for many symptoms that they could have of certain diseases. Let’s explain some of the health issues you can have with your pug to get you aware.
First off, always check if your pug has encephalitis, because that’s the common disease that the pug breeds get. They can get it through older age and it can attack both sexes of the breed.
That means male and female can get it, however there isn’t a percentage of which sex gets the disease more. The disease attacks the brain and causes inflammatory pain that can cause major problems. The Vet can tell you about treatment if you catch it early.
Encephalitis can be determined if they have seizures at ages of five or more years of age. You may find your dog to have more problems with walking as well. Well, if your dog walks with a limp with the back legs, you should make sure he or she doesn’t have hip dysplasia.
The disease destroys the hip bones to making them weak and that causes them more pain. To find if they have this disease, you can go to the vet to get x rays of the hip.
If your pug is coughing and making a goose type cough, then you should know that it’s symptoms of a tracheal collapse. The windpipe swells and causes suffocation, but they can live with it. However, the problem will get worse. Taking them to the vet can help you get the problem fixed and while you’re there, the vet can tell you the other pug health problems they could get.
Next, find out more about pug health problems and get more fun dog stories.
