Introducing A Pug Puppy Into Your Family

Fans of the Men In Black movies were intrigued to the sassy small Pug dog that played the role of a sassy undercover alien in the movie. Since the small dog debuted, breeders have noticed an increase in the sale. Although it took a recent science fiction movie to launch the Pug into popularity the breed is believed to have been originally the result of breeding shorthaired Pekinese dogs to undersized Bulldogs in 400 BC. The breed was believed to have originated in Asia before being brought to Europe by Dutch explorers.

In recent years the Pug dog breed has been enjoying a growing popularity. The Pug is a toy breed of dog, the average height of the a full grown Pug is ten to eleven inches tall and they typically weigh between fourteen and eighteen pounds. Dog owners are thrilled to find that they have a variety of colors to choose from when looking for a new Pug puppy.

Pug puppies are an excellent choice for people living in apartments. All that is needed to manage the puppy's active nature is regular walks. A Pug puppy is an excellent choice for a person who doesn't have the time or desire to spend a lot of time on an extensive grooming regiment. All Pug owners have to do is make sure the Pug's eyes are kept clean, its nails routinely trimmed and that the coat is occasionally brushed.

Pugs love everybody. They love children, babies, dogs and other pets. The Pug's amicable personality does not detract from its value as a watchdog. The little dog is alert by nature. The minute the little dog hears someone approaching the home it makes sure the rest of the occupants know that they have a visitor.

Owners do have to keep an eye out for warning signs of health problems their Pug puppy might develops. They need to make sure the puppy doesn't over eat. They need to keep an eye on the puppy's protruding eyes, which are prone to being bumped and scratched. Pug owners also need to watch and make sure that their puppy is not showing signs of respiratory problems such as allergies.

Bringing home a Pug puppy can be both an exciting and terrifying time, both for you and the new puppy. This is the first time your Pug puppy has been separated from its mother and littermates, adding the separation to the fact that the puppy is in a strange environment and it bound to be a stressful time for your new pup. Your state of mind might not be any better. You are responsible for a new life, one that isn't housebroken. The key to keeping the big day as stress free as possible is to be organized.

Try to make sure that the puppy food in the Pug's food dish is the same kind it was being fed at the breeders (after a few days you can start mixing a different type of food into the puppy's system without upsetting its digestive system) and make sure you are going to be home to spend time with your puppy.

Arrange your schedule so that the day you bring your Pug puppy home you will be able to stay home and spend time with your new Pug. This is probably the first time your puppy has ever been away from its mother and littermates. It needs your presence to help it feel secure in its new environment. The better organized you are about bringing your new Pug puppy home the happier your entire family, including the puppy, will be.
