haha. but I still love pugs

8/31/2010 4:30:57 AM

I've never seen that!
*rotflmao*

I love my Penny Puggle.

8/31/2010 12:18:54 PM

haha. I love pugs. My wife and I actually adopted a 1.5 year old pug just about 6 weeks ago.

8/31/2010 12:20:21 PM

my parents have owned pugs for 10+ years. They're good dogs.

8/31/2010 12:25:20 PM

Not to be rude, but what's the point of those dogs?

8/31/2010 12:26:49 PM

the same as any other dog: eat and shit

8/31/2010 12:34:28 PM

and fight bears

8/31/2010 12:36:18 PM

^^^they are dogs that have a lot of energy and personality... sometimes too much for some people


they are great apartment dogs that don't need as much space and love you like I love bacon when you get home

lol, that last picture always makes me laugh

8/31/2010 12:47:39 PM

pugs are some of the ugliest, nastiest dogs out there. the only thing that's worse is the chinese crested.

8/31/2010 12:49:44 PM

so are women that look like dykes

8/31/2010 12:50:26 PM

I use to not be a fan of pugs. But now I love them.

However, for the first time ever, I met a pug that had a shitty personality. I will not let this pug affect my overall opinion of pugs though.

8/31/2010 12:50:49 PM

i don't think i've ever met a pug that had a bad personality, i'm just not a fan of the smushed in face, snorting, & snoring.

8/31/2010 12:52:05 PM

where do you get that they are "nasty" or even "Nastier"(sp?) than other dogs?

oh, i can read, i just don't get how that's nasty. it's not like they are snorting shit on YOU. and having a smushed in face makes them nasty, huh? so i guess humans with physical disabilities are nasty then too. And if you find snoring nasty, then wow.

8/31/2010 12:56:23 PM

i think that dogs with smashed faces that snort and snore, & those that drool all over the place are nasty. it's my opinion & a lot of people share it.

a LOT of pugs are overweight too. that's also nasty. and cruel.

yeah, people with massive facial deformities can be ugly too.

The same point as any other dog that you aren't getting to be a "guard dog." And, in my opinion, I don't like dealing with the bigger dogs that serve well as a guard dog. Just not my thing.

They are adorable (imo), very loving, well behaved, a lot of fun, fairly low maintenance, not "yappy"/barky at all like other smallish dogs (I *hate* that about a lot of other smaller dogs), and just provide a lot of LOLz because they are so much personality in a small body.

The amount of snorting just has to do with how smushed their face is. My wife's previous 2 pugs: 1 didn't snore at all and hardly snorted at all because his nose wasn't as smushed. The other snored and snorted pretty loudly when excited. Ours is kind of in the middle.


Sorry for the terrible pic from my old phone:

sweet! i love black pugs

8/31/2010 1:09:28 PM

^ yea my wife's parents have 2 fawns so she wanted to get a black one this time

Same. Growing up I was never a big fan...but I had never really been around them. Then my wife's parents got her and her sister a pug puppy and adopted another when we were dating in HS and I fell in love with them after actually getting to be around them. They are always good for a laugh and loyal to a fault. Great little companions.

8/31/2010 1:13:30 PM

working at a vet clinic growing up, pugs were always some of my favorite dogs. Other than the couple of dogs that just had personality unbecoming of the breed, these dogs always got the extra play time with me

8/31/2010 2:45:42 PM

I'm not a fan, because I like big dogs, but I have never heard that they are nasty dogs. stupid maybe.

8/31/2010 2:53:55 PM

I think pugs are cute. I also think it's funny when they are running around and all you hear is them snorting.

To all you pug experts, why were pugs bred? Like what was their function back in the day?


I much prefer large dogs, but I think they fall in the beagle category, small dogs that aren't retarded rats.

I've heard that Pugs were a dog associated with royalty in the Chinese culture, like the emporers had them as pets.

8/31/2010 2:59:09 PM

Originally bred to be companion dogs. All mine want to do is be wherever I am. Those little fuckers compan like nobody's business.

There's some thinking that they were also watch dogs, in that they'd bark at shit, and then the big dogs would go see what's up.

8/31/2010 3:07:22 PM

^^^ From what I know, they were actually much bigger at one point and used as guard dogs back in the day. They say that is mostly why they don't know their own size well today and will pick fights with dogs much bigger than themselves

I think they were from China originally and were imported to/became very popular in Europe and bred to be companion dogs, but I'm not 100% sure.

yes. do not get a pug if you don't want a dog that enjoys being near you 24/7 heh

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was dumping on pugs.

I was just wondering what the breeders were thinking when they put the pug together.

"Bred to adorn the laps of the Chinese sovereigns during the Shang dynasty (before 400 BCE),[3] in East China, they were known as "Lo-Chiang-Sze" or "Foo" (ceramic foos, transmogrified into dragon, with their bulging eyes are similar in appearance to the pug)."

8/31/2010 3:56:25 PM

I'm glad that they've flourished in the wild since the Shang dynasty.

8/31/2010 4:02:54 PM

everything in the US is from china these days

8/31/2010 4:04:34 PM

Most that I met are very territorial and one bit my nose. Kinda afraid of them.

8/31/2010 4:06:14 PM

aw what do you mean by territorial? Ours just wants to play with/lick visitors.

8/31/2010 4:28:00 PM

territorial? pffft.

i've never met a pug i couldn't kick out of his territory

[Edited on August 31, 2010 at 4:35 PM. Reason : .]

8/31/2010 4:34:40 PM

^he means kick in the literal sense.

8/31/2010 9:00:06 PM

all the ones I have met just lick you too much **yuck**

8/31/2010 9:01:47 PM

Pugs are cute as puppies.

This one pug that is actually the CEO of RadioSystems and PetSafe used to board where I worked and he would get skin infections in his flaps from being so drooly. He was overweight too, at his mansion he has automatic doggie doors and food released at multiple time intervals and big doggie beds for lounging.

Of all breeds Randy chose the pug.
