Pug: Health Issues & Personality
Pug:

The Pug is a friendly and confident companion.  It can be a bit headstrong and stubborn, but is pleasant and generally willing to please.

The Pug does not tolerate heat well and has a tendency to catch cold; it should be dried briskly, if wet.  Its delicate eyes are prone to frequent "weeping", and its short, fine coat should regularly be given a vigorous brushing.  The Pug is also subject to gastric problems when overfed.  Characteristic of the Pug is its unusual coiled tail.  Known as a curled tail, it forms a single or double spiral that is held tightly back over the hip.  The double curl is considered to be ideal.  The Pug is also one of the least effective watchdogs.
