Temperament

The Pug is a playful and outgoing dog breed with a charming personality. They tend to be very loving towards children and also get along well with other pets and dogs. They are a companion breed at heart known for their gentle nature and sociable personality. As one of the most affectionate dog breeds, they love to give love and receive it in return. Their sensitive nature makes them intuitive as well and Pugs will often sense the moods of their owners and react accordingly. They crave attention and affection from their owners and are big fans of napping. These little dogs usually aren’t prone to barking a lot, but can easily be trained into it, especially if they are encouraged to do it a lot as puppies. Socialization early and often can help keep barking to more of an alert and less of a nuisance. You can also train your dog to stop barking early on to help keep it from becoming a nuisance when they are older.
