I have major allergies and until we buy a house we won''t be getting a dog. Don''t worry we are going to go through a reputable breeder, it''s definitely worth the $$$. Anyway, when we do get a dog it will be a Bichon frise, a Miniature Poodle, or a Maltese! I can''t wait!Date: 11/25/2005 8:30:55 PM

Pugs are definitely cuties..but they do shed pretty horribly...I have a few friends who have them and they are a nightmare with the fur. We''re too spoiled with a non-shedder dog.
I love those little snuffly noises they make when they breathe, you have to make sure to get an excellent breeder or else your pug could have breathing problems if you don''t go with someone who knows the breed problems and is working to breed them OUT rather than ignoring them and inbreeding and making them worse. Also educate yourself on other potential breed problems (aka for example, Westies have skin and hip problems) so that you can make sure to also screen for that with any potential breeders. A few people who have pugs here in the park have mentioned they have been really hard to poddee train and someone said it was a breed issue. Not sure if that''s the case but figured it''s worth mentioning. One pair of pugs is a year old and they still have accidents.
That photo is TOO CUTE.
