Pug dogs are definitely very popular among dog breeds. Who could say ‘no’ to a little dog staring at you with large expressive eyes and waiting for your attention by tilting its tiny head? The reason why people choose pugs as their pets despite their health-related problems is that they pick them for the good characteristics they have and think about how they can improve their living just by having them around. Pugs are extremely affectionate, they bond easily with their owners, are loyal, obedient, and distinct from other canines.
Moreover, they are low maintenance as they don’t bark too much or too loudly and as adults, they tend to sleep a lot, however, when awake they need all your attention. They are regarded as “toy dogs” or “clowns of the dog world” and have been positioned in the 28th place among the most popular dog breeds by American Kennel Club and their royal ancestry does not rank them among the most affordable dogs.
