In fact, their quirkiness and pug behavior only adds to their appeal. Pug behavior can also be occasionally confusing and lead to trouble. Pugs are a big dog in a small dog body, which means they can be a little too brave when they run up to hump a German Shepherd at the dog park.

Read our full disclosure. Intact animals are definitely more likely to mount others, so spaying or neutering is the best prevention. If your puppy humps his or her littermates, simply redirect the behavior quietly and move on. Some rescue pugs, who may have remained intact for longer OR simply discovered the joy of humping, struggle with this behavior. This is especially true when they feel insecure like when company or a new dog comes to visit. Offer them an exciting alternative like a treat or a chew toy instead. Lastly, when your pug is in a new situation or meeting a new friend, keep them on a leash so you remain in control of their behavior yes, even in the house. You want me to twirl like a ballerina for a cookie? Here I go! Each problem can be addressed separately. Dog-proof your house to prevent your pug from getting into foods that could make them ill. This includes, storing foods like candy and chocolate in higher cupboards and always closing and latching pantry and closet doors. Install baby-proof latches on your cupboards if your pug is a Houdini-type. Weigh down your trash bin with a brick or rock in the bottom and keep it covered or enclosed. Keep your litter box clean and scooped we recommend the litter-robot and pick up the house. Never leave out leftover food or garbage. Pugs will find a way. When pugs go out, keep them on a leash always. If they see a delicious sidewalk sandwich or a poo snack keeping them on a leash will help you pull them away and redirect. That good pug behavior deserves a treat! Keep your own yard picked up, so pugs can avoid temptation. Preventing obesity in pugs is an important part of keeping your pug healthy. Many concerns such as joint issues, diabetes and breathing problems can be prevented simply by keeping your pug at a healthy weight. To slow your pug down, we suggest a slow feeder dog bowl. This gives your pug a chance to actually taste her food before she snarfs it down. Feed your pug two or three small meals per day. A pug left to her own devices can polish off a bowl of kibble in three seconds flat. Help her control her portions. Plus, your food may contain ingredients that could make your pug ill like avocado or chocolate. Carrots, peas and pumpkin make great healthy snackies, or try small bites of chicken, liver or trainer treats. In fact, many pugs can lick you for hours.Then wipe it with a little vinegar or lemon juice which can deter the constant licking. If they start licking, make a noise to startle them, and then redirect the behavior to a more appropriate licking toy. The first step is to stop allowing it to happen. Licking is a way that pugs find comfort. Keep harmony in your grumble by spending plenty of one-on-one time with each individual pug. Keep playtime light and fun. Help everyone get plenty of exercise and allow breaks and downtime where the whole pack can get some moments alone to de-stress. Alleviate the insecurity by giving your pug privacy during mealtimes. For new human or non-canine family members, simply be sure your pug is receiving plenty of attention and positive reinforcement whenever the new friend is around. Allow them to retreat to their crate or room if they need some alone time especially with older pugs and give them plenty of space. Always encourage children to be very gentle with pugs and never tease them with food or toys. Pugs are extremely gentle, but they will nip in very rare occasions, especially if they feel unsafe. Remember they are small and can get hurt or frightened. In order to train your pug, you have to build their trust. Practice it and reward this command over and over. You can practice recall with your pug on a long leash or in a fenced yard, but first begin in the house. Stand about 20 feet away from your pug with a high value treat like hotdogs or cheese. Use the command, reward your pug when she comes running. Stand farther away, repeat. Give the command, reward, repeat. Try this command under many different distractions and scenarios. Move it to the yard. Then practice on a long leash or at the park. Reward your pug every single time. As for the many other times when your pug seems not to hear you such as when you call their name, or ask them to come --you can practice similarly, using different command along with a clicker and a treat. Eventually wean your pug off the treats giving them every third or fourth response. Practice your commands regularly. But pugs do bark. Some pugs react to passersby at the window, squirrels on the bird feeder or other dogs on TV. This takes practice and you may feel like a human Pez dispenser for a while but eventually your pug will learn that dogs on TV mean treats in their tummy! Similarly, when your pug reacts to something outside, the doorbell or another noise with a barking frenzy, redirect their attention back to you. Then give them a treat. Practice the trigger behavior and reinforce the desired reaction over and over. Being Stubborn Stubborn? Even though pugs are occasionally stubborn, they are quite trainable and will rise to the occasion. Pugs are very smart, easily motivated by food and praise and love to make you happy. If your pug can channel their energy into positive behaviors, they just may surprise you with their transformation. Many pugs make excellent therapy dogs and you could even start your pug as a volunteer! Almost all dogs benefit from the socialization and regime provided by a positive training class. Even experienced owners can brush up on their skills and connect with their pug one-on-one. Giving your pug the gift of proper training will help strengthen your relationship, boost your communication and lead to many happy years to come! Pug Dog Behavior Overview Every dog is an individual and will have his or her own quirks and character traits. With that said, each breed does have certain personality traits that while not found in every dog, are general behaviors that one can expect. And when it comes to lovable behaviors and even temperament, the Pug places high on the list. This section will discuss what you can expect with the Pug dog and tips for owners to deal with some of the more, well, let's just say, "interesting" aspects of this breed. Most owners will agree that the Pug knows what he wants.And he'll use a few different techniques to see if his owner will cave in. For the right owner, this is not necessarily a bad thing.In many cases, what the dog wants is attention. Can who can blame him! This is not an independent breed. Zeke Photo courtesy of owner Virginia Vaughn Zeke Photo courtesy of owner Virginia Vaughn Throughout generations, the Pug was bred to be a very valued companion and for quite a while this breed was kept by royalty. Pugs were even dressed up in clothing mostly ruffled shirts and pantaloons to sit at the front of horse-drawn carriages. He was put on display and revered. Statues were built and artists spent time paining portraits of this unique breed. Being a brachycephalic breed, the Pug was never extensively used for hunting and was only briefly used as a guard dog. Throughout history and up until today, Pugs have been and are indoor companion dogs. They crave the company of their humans. What will a Pug do? It's not uncommon for his to plant his feet down and refuse to go outside with you.He may try and make you work for it a bit. If you are both resting on the sofa, he's sprawled half across your body and you want to get up to get a drink, your Pug may groan a bit and make you roll him off. Most of his behaviors will be amusing, if you have a good sense of humor and if you are the type of owner who wants a dog with tons of personality. Hard to Train? Pugs are no harder to train than any other dog and most do excellent with both housebreaking and commands. It is important to note that any type of training is not accomplished in a day or even in a week. The 2 elements that will help you train your Pug will be ones that compliment and play off of his personality. You'll need to work a bit to keep him focused and you'll need to follow proper guidelines in regard to praise and reward. In some aspects, a Pug dog does better than some other breeds simply because his desire to please his human and his love of tasty treats makes for a motivated dog. There may be some quirks that make certain elements in need of extra attention. The Pug's easy going temperament and somewhat clingy personality can cause the dog to suffer with Separation Anxiety having a difficult time staying calm when left home alone. Taking time to prepare a really good indoor environment can help quite a bit. Adding isolation to the problem of feeling panicked when left alone only compounds matters. For this reason most Pugs do well with a good sized indoor gated off area that is set up in a main room of the house. The living room or kitchen are good choices. There should be space for toys and chews , a water dispenser, a food bowl, a comfortable sleeping area and a spot with newspaper or pee pads for bathroom needs. You can read more about this in the House Training section Begging Pugs do tend to have begging behaviors. If an owner gives in to this during the first year of puppy-hood, it can set up a foundation of begging behavior down the road. It is really difficult to not give in to those "puppy dog eyes" however, setting up rules and guidelines, with feeding in particular, lends to better health. While some "human" foods are perfectly fine for a canine to consume, it is the manner in which a dog is given that food that will either reinforce or discourage the begging. While home cooking for this breed is highly recommended, any food given off of an owner's plate is not a good idea. Once a dog is given any morsel, he will repeat the begging behavior again. A dog metaphorically thinks, "If I begged and received, surely all I need to do is keep up this behavior and I'm sure to eventually receive a treat again! Once this is learned, a Pug will obey commands, listen to the word "No" and show better manners. Meals should be scheduled, and a Pug should be commanded to sit before his bowl is placed down. Treats and snacks should be reserved for training and once a Pug is fully trained, snacks can be reserved for reinforcing good behavior. Note: If a Pug always seems hungry without good reason, reassess the quality of meals and snacks. Worms and other health issues can cause increased appetite, so bring this to the attention of the vet if you cannot resolve this. Chewing Chewing is usually a behavior that is triggered by something as opposed to being an inbred trait or part of a dog's personality. Teething certainly brings strong urges to chew and boredom or anxiety also causes a dog to chew. For teething, offering ice cubes either plain or flavored can help to sooth sore gums. Chilling teething toys in the freezer can also help. Be sure to choose sturdy ones with different textures that promote good dental hygiene and healthy teeth. During this brief phase that all puppies go through, keeping personal items out of reach can prevent the destruction of shoes, pocketbooks, wallets, etc. Keeping a close eye on a teething puppy allows an owner to quickly stop undesirable behavior: Clap your hands to get the pup's attention, take away any object that is not a toy and offer a good chew toy instead, offering praise as the puppy mouths it. Temperament with Other Dogs The Pug generally gets along well with other dogs. Some can be skittish of larger dogs and some will engage full force to be the life of the party. It is rare for a Pug dog to be overly dominant to any other animal and his friendly nature may make him vulnerable to large, more aggressive canines. When out at dog parks or if visiting friends who have pets, it is always a good idea to keep watch. Puppies, in particular, are very inquisitive, sometimes charging ahead into a situation in which they are not prepared. The Pug is by no means shy or submissive to all other dogs, it is more a matter of this breed being a bit more curious and friendly as opposed to what may be other somewhat serious dogs. With Children This breed usually gets along very well with kids of all ages. In a household with younger children who may tend to get rowdy and noisy, it can be helpful to have an area set up in advance, that a Pug dog can retreat to if he is feeling overwhelmed. Often, this can just be a dog bed or other resting area, set back a bit in a quiet corner of a main room. Even though the puppy or dog may want to take a break, he will still want to be able to see and hear his humans, therefore placing him in a separate room is usually not a good idea. Tank St. Bernard and Pugsly 20 weeks old Photo courtesy of the Caywood Family Mimicking One of the best personalty traits of the Pug dog breed is his tendency to mimic his owners. Always aiming to please, a Pug will tend to be more laid back or more outgoing, depending on his owner's nature and habits. This is a learned behavior and it can change over time. This breed is very adaptable, as long as his basic needs are met and he is in a healthy environment. Energy Levels Puppies will be more independent, exploring to find out the answer to "what is this? It is normal for Pug puppies to scamper around, sliding on floors and sniffing at just about everything. It is also normal for pups to mouth objects, since that is one of their main methods of exploration and learning. For this reason, homes should be periodically "puppy proofed", removing any and all small objects off the floor and placed out of reach. An adult will be more relaxed, often content to sit beside or on his owner in front of the TV. One or two 15 to 20 minute walks per day will help to keep this dog healthy.They tend to pick up cues from their humans and then follow along, so an owner should take the initiative to take breaks and never push the dog to go beyond what he can handle Sensitivity This breed is sensitive to his environment and to those around him. In regard to environment, not only does he physically react to temperature he may shiver in a cold house and have trouble breathing in a hot, humid house and how comfortable or not his living quarters are, he also does best in low-key, positive atmosphere. In regard to the interaction he has with his owners, Pugs are rather sensitive to harsh words and tone of voice. How you discipline your Pug will have lasting consequences in both how well he listens and how he reacts to you. If a Pug his yelled at, he can emotionally back away and it can take quite some time for his hurt feelings to mend. Pugs should be rewarded for good behavior, not punished for misdeeds. Without tons of non-judgmental love, this breed can become emotionally withdrawn. While it is recommended to speak in a confident, firm voice when training, be sure to show enthusiasm for things done right and respectful correction for misbehavior. Just about every resource lists one of the Pug dog's traits as being "comical", but what does this mean? Sometimes, the dog is just being a dog, but his appearance can make normal behaviors seem amusing. Other times, it is a matter of a Pug wanting attention.In this regard, command and trick training is often successful, since a Pug will crave those "good boys" or "good girls", a happy pat and a yummy treat. One element to keep in mind, is that even though this breed is known as a "joker", he is not always turned "on" and cannot be the entertainer all of the time. Just like any other pet, a Pug needs downtime to rest and relax. Punk 7 months old Photo courtesy of owner: Miranda Kuney Noises Many, but not all, do exhibit some rather amusing noises. If you are seeking a quiet dog, the Pug may not be the best choice. The most common noises are: burps, flatulence, snorts and snores. Most of this is expected and normal, however if your dog has a sudden or severe increase in breathing related noises, a veterinarian checkup is recommended. Since snores can be quite loud, some owners find it helpful to obtain a white noise machine which can muffle out night time snores. As a Whole This is a well-rounded breed, good in just about any sized household and most certainly a close canine companion that is loyal and extremely friendly. Pugs love to play, learn and be part of the family. Good with other pets, including cats, the Pug is a true family dog. Sometimes wary of strangers, if an owner has regular visitors to the home, they will be accepted over time as long as the Pug does not feel excluded. Most have a very deep bond with their owners, wanting to sleep in their human's bed. Since this is the largest of all toy sized breeds, an adult can take up a good amount of room and may snore in his owner's ear, but will be much happier than if left in another room. This breed does best when the following is offered: A well rounded, healthy diet of wholesome foods A good selection of interactive toys Treated with affection, respect and tolerance A warm, comfortable place to sleep that encourages a feeling of safety and security Plenty of interaction with family members, not having any prolonged periods of isolation Kept inside, except when outside with owners during non-severe weather conditions to exercise and play Brought for regular check-ups with an experienced and reputable veterinarian preferably with previous or current Pug patients , including dental care This is a perfect dog to have for singles or a family who can offer an inside environment with daily outside bursts of activity. Please remember that this breed is not an outside dog. A Pug should never be left outdoors, unattended, for any amount of time. If you are a sucker for a cute face with wrinkles , a dog that shows emotions and an affectionate companion this breed is for you. All rights reserved.

Pugs have very distinct physical traits that may prompt you to take one home to your family, but before bringing a Pug home, it is important to consider their personality and temperament. Pugs may be well known for their wrinkled faces, stubby legs, and compact frame, but the personality and temperament characteristic of Pugs is vital to understand before choosing one to bring home. During this initial time in their history, Pugs were only allowed to be owned by members of the Chinese imperial household and Tibetan monasteries. Pugs possess a lineage steeped in respect and adoration. They were first brought to Europe around and quickly became a favorite of the wealthy. Pugs are considered one of the oldest canine breeds in existence today. In recent years, they have grown in popularity and now are a well-known and recognized dog breed around the world. Pug Characteristics Pugs are small in stature and are part of the toy breed. They weigh on average between pounds and measure at approximately inches at the shoulder. Despite their petite stature, pugs are full of personality. They are most well known for their short snout, curly tail, large head, and protruding eyes. Unlike many dog breeds, Pugs were not bred to perform a task. They are not hunters, guard dogs, or retrievers; instead, they are companion dogs. Pugs can have a stubborn streak, but though they may be stubborn, they are not aggressive and are eager to please. They can be trained with dedication , patience, and the use of treats as motivation. Pugs are a suitable dog for families with children because of their small stature and love of attention. Because of these qualities, Pugs thrive in homes where they will receive copious amounts of love and attention with very little time alone. Pugs are often an easy-going dog that prioritize pleasing their owners above all else. Pug Behavior Pugs are a calm dog breed that enjoys spending their days napping. Their low energy level means it is easy to keep a Pug in good physical health with just a small walk or quick playtime. Pug behavior is often seen as silly because they are often quite lazy until they get a quick burst of energy, which is then often followed by a nap. Since they are food motivated, Pugs often develop the frowned upon behavior of begging for food. However, with some training and dedication, this habit can be trained away. Pugs are typically a vocal dog breed, which includes barking, yapping, grunting, snorting, or other noises. This may be seen as an undesirable quality depending upon the owner and their lifestyle. Because Pugs snouts are very short, they often wheeze after excessive exercise. If these vocal qualities are unwanted, training can also be used to correct these behaviors. Pug Personality Traits Pugs are intelligent and playful, but also extremely affectionate. Because they are intelligent, they can be mischievous, especially when left alone for extended periods of time. Pugs are a friendly breed, which makes them behave well around other pets and small children. There are many qualities that comprise the unique composition of a Pug personality, but chief among them is their love of sleep. Pugs are wonderful family dogs that love their family unconditionally and will want to spend their entire life by the side of their owners. If you decide a Pug is the right breed for you, it is likely you will be soon sharing your bed with your new family member. Pug behavior problems come in all shapes and sizes. Every Pug has a unique personality and experience. Do all Pugs have behavior problems? Not all Pugs will have behavior problems. Each and every Pug is an individual. One might be more extroverted and another more introverted. One might love walkies, the other might prefer lounging on the sofa all day. And that means that not every Pug owner will end up with all or even any of the issues we are going to discuss in this article today. However, there are certain behaviors that occur more often with Pugs. Like most behavioral issues, many of these issues can be counteracted or prevented altogether with proper training. Ideally, this should begin when your pup is very young. Look out for these behaviors in your new pup or old-time Pug companion. If you notice your Pug developing any of these undesirable behaviors, ask yourself: Why might they be doing this? Consider what could be causing the behavior What can I do about it? Let the list commence! Incessant whining Incessant whining is a sign of overdependence on human company. Now, Pugs are companion dogs. They were bred for it. But there comes a point when enough is enough. You undoubtedly have other commitments you also need to attend to and even a Pug should be able to tolerate some alone time. Deny your whining Pug of attention by turning your back to them. Once they stop whining and only then turn around, offer praise, and a favorite treat. I know it feels mean, but your Pug needs to learn that whining does not lead to attention. And the best way to do this is to positively reinforce the desired no-whining behavior. Jealousy Jealousy is another Pug trait stemming from their constant desire for companionship. They are little divas at heart. Encourage children and guests to bond with your Pug but always demonstrate caution. If your Pug displays any aggression or unusual behavior leave them alone until they feel safe and secure to interact. Food frenzy Pugs love food. And by that, I mean Pugs are seriously obsessed with food. That means begging, whining, and doing pretty much anything in their power to taste those delicious morsels. If your Pug is begging you for biscuits day in, day out, start by trying out some of these tried and tested methods. Usually, Pugs that develop separation anxiety of some kind do so due to circumstance. Perhaps they have been rehomed multiple times or their owner spends little time at home. What to do about it: The key to treating separation anxiety is routine, familiarity, and distraction. Once you return home you can put the toys away. That way alone time takes on a new meaning — playtime! It might not work the first time around. In severe cases, we would always recommend speaking to your vet or an animal behaviorist. Luckily, Pug yapping is usually just a way to communicate something. Typical causes include: Boredom they might want to play Loneliness they may need attention Frustration is there a squirrel outside? Pain are they injured or unwell? What to do about it: Barking is natural but if your Pug is barking in excess there are some basic training exercises you can do to mitigate the problem. Excessive jumping Pugs are jumpers. These dogs are known for jumping up on people, furniture, and just about anything. However, this behavior can be destructive or even dangerous. They might knock down a breakable item, or someone unsteady on their feet ie. Try not to praise your Pug when they jump too much e. Aim for around 20 minutes walk each day. And rightly so. Too much growling can be a sign of aggression. Pugs growl when they are feeling territorial over something. It could be their food bowl, favorite toy, or personal space in general. Growling is a form of communication — it is your dog alerting you to something. If another person or animal touches this item enters this space uninvited, they will growl as an act of dominance. In other words, to let them know that thing is theirs. You might notice your Pug starts to growl more as they get older. Especially if they have bone or joint problems such as arthritis. If you are under any suspicion that your Pug is unwell visit your vet immediately. The best way to avoid this is through proper puppy obedience training. Unfortunately, Pugs who have had a rough start in life are more prone to aggressive behaviors like this. In this case, you may need the help of a dog behaviorist. And stubbornness is their middle name. If your planning on getting a Pug puppy, attending a puppy training course is a great idea. But even older Pugs, with a bit of time and patience, can make great progress when it comes to training. Start with some basic recall practice in the yard or in your local park you might want to start by using a long leash before letting them run free. Remember to reward your Pug for great recall with cuddles and their favorite treat chicken always goes down well. Wave goodbye to bad Pug behaviors The key ingredient to good Pug behavior is proper socialization and training from puppyhood. Whilst Pugs are generally docile animals, they are still animals with their own unique temperaments. Some might develop unwanted behaviors. Looking out for Pug behavior problems in your dog is the best way to nip them in the bud early. Pugs come primarily in three colors : silver, black, and apricot-fawn. They have a big round head with large sparkling eyes and are considered an ideal house dog. The Pug has always been popular among the aristocrats over the centuries. Pug Behavior Pugs tend to be loving, charming, and mild with an even temper. Because of these attributes, Pugs are perfect contenders for house and family dogs. They are easy-going with children, mildly sensitive, and relatively friendly to strangers. Sometimes they can be stubborn and slightly tricky to train. Are Pugs Aggressive? A Pug is a perfect family dog due to its personality and temperament. Generally, Pugs are not aggressive. But when not socialized effectively when young, they can be stubborn. Coming across an aggressive Pug is an infrequent occurrence since they take to food-based training easily and socialize fast, especially at a young age. What are the Causes of Aggression in Pugs? Several factors can contribute to aggressive behavior in Pugs, including lack of attention, being left alone for long periods, and neglect from its caregivers. Aggressive Pugs exhibit this trait through being bossy, barking, dominance, rushing, and pecking. Such aggression can be heredity, where parents pass these attributes to their litter. Other aggression causes include ill-treatment, and shouting, more so from handlers. Regardless, you can correct this concern through adequate training and socialization of the Pug when young. Having an aggressive Pug can be problematic, and as the owner, you need to curb this behavior to ensure the dog is friendly, gentle, and family-oriented. Training is necessary when your Pug is young since, at this time, pups are relatively easier to train as compared to older dogs. The training window is typically best at 3 to 16 weeks, but ideally before the 20th week. We recommend enrolling in a puppy training course, such as Pupford Academy , so you can be guided by experts. Training mostly involves behavioral training and socialization with the involvement of both humans and other dogs. These activities teach guide your Pug on how to perceive the world around them and how to respond to it. Socialization can be as simple as taking your Pug out for a walk, generally in a place with both dogs and humans such as a park. Behavioral training involves obedience training, where you teach your Pug basic commands. Training is the best way to prevent aggression. Pug puppies, just like most puppies, tend to be hyperactive. So, what contributes to this hyperactive Pug behavior? Among the leading factors include curiosity, separation anxiety, excitement and playfulness. Hyperactive pugs are likely to demolish things, bark for attention, bite and nip, chase things, and get little sleep. Hyperactive Pugs can be stressful for the owner because they demand attention all the time. But as your Pug puppy comes of age, it calms down. This change usually happens at around one and a half to two years. Occasionally, they will have these sudden bursts just like other dog breeds. These zoomies will only manifest when you expose your Pug to specific triggers such as bath time, which may call for restraining. Are Pugs Emotional? Pugs are emotional creatures. They have an affectionate side and a serious side. This trait is due to the secretion of a hormone called oxytocin, also present in humans, that makes them feel caring and loving to others. These basic emotions will include, joy, love, fear, disgust, and anger. Even so, they can also get depressed and anxious, especially when you leave them on their own for relatively long periods. Do Pugs Have Behavioral Problems? Though most Pugs are typically loyal, obedient, and disciplined, some may have behavioral problems depending on their personality. Common behavioral issues include barking, growling, nipping, whining, dominance, separation anxiety, and stubbornness. These issues differ with different Pugs, and not all Pug owners will encounter them. Final verdict Pugs are great family dogs, and with proper training can be emotional supporters. They are loving, loyal, emotional, and playful, great with children and easy to groom. Because of these attributes, Pugs are an ideal choice for many people.

These dogs are suitable for children of all ages because they are socialized at a young age. All pups receive their first shots and worming before they leave.

Life Span Did You Know? Black Labrador Retrievers, or just Black Labs, are a common coat color variation of one of the most popular dog breeds. The Black Labrador Retriever is not necessarily a separate dog breed. Black Labs are still Labrador Retrievers; they just have a distinct coat color that is a specifically-bred characteristic. Like other Labrador Retrievers, Black Labs are energetic, playful, and affectionate dogs that make great family companions. Although they are active and energetic dogs, Labs are also known for their gentleness and patience with other family members. Well-socialized Black Labs tend to get along well with just about everyone including children, other dogs, pets, and even strangers. They are considered one of the kid-friendly dog breeds. As one of the most affectionate dog breeds , Black Labs thrive on attention, especially from their favorite humans. They are happiest when they are spending time with their families and receiving affection and attention from them. Despite their high energy, Labs are highly adaptable dogs. They do tend to be better suited to homes with fenced yards where they can run, but they also adapt well to apartments provided they get enough daily exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. They do well in just about any climate, but are sensitive to heat and extreme cold like many dog breeds. As such, they do not like to spend long periods of time alone. Potential health concerns to be aware of in a Black Labrador Retriever can include elbow dysplasia , hip dysplasia, heart disease, hereditary myopathy, cataracts, and progressive retinal atrophy. Another potential health concern is EIC exercise-induced collapse , which can occur in young adult Labs and has a genetic link. Because carriers can be identified by DNA tests, it is recommended that breeders test for them. Good breeding practices make a big difference in the health of puppies and reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies. Make sure you talk to the breeder about the health and genetic history of both parents. You can also ask about any health tests or clearances that have been done. As a large, deep-chested dog breed, Labrador Retrievers are at a higher risk for bloat. Labrador Retrievers are one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners. Although their high energy and puppylike exuberance can sometimes be a challenge, they are intelligent dogs that are eager to please. As long as training is kept consistent and focused on positive rewards and praise, novice owners still tend to do well with Black Labs. Puppy training classes are always an option and offer plenty of benefits aside from training too. Black Labs have a short, water-resistant double coat that sheds year-round and sheds heavier as seasons change. Depending on how active your Black Lab is and what they get into, they may need a bath more often, especially if they are swimming a lot. Weekly ear checks and careful cleanings when needed help prevent ear infections. Good dental care for dogs , like daily brushing and cleanings at the vet when needed, can help prevent painful dental diseases later in life. As one of the most active dog breeds , a Black Labrador Retriever will need a lot of daily activity to be happy and healthy. Daily walks plus some playtime and time to run are a minimum. Your Black Lab will likely be up for more activity if you are. One of the facts about Labrador Retrievers is that they have an extended puppyhood. They tend to maintain a puppylike exuberance until they are years old. Although they do tend to mellow out as they get older, they are still active, energetic, and playful dogs. Once they are fully grown, you can try other things like hiking, running, dock diving, and more to find other activities you and your Black Lab can enjoy together. Fully-grown Black Labrador Retrievers usually stand inches tall and weigh pounds. Black Labs generally live for years on average. Black Labrador Retrievers came before the also-popular Chocolate Lab. All modern Chocolate Labs can be traced back to three Black Labs in the s. It was the December issue of .Featured Black Labrador Retriever Article. Thank you David for all the joy you have given us.

As a young teen, my mom brought home a male puppy Mowgli to be part of our family. He is now 9 years old and is the most loving, caring, and gentle Labrador. I jokingly even call him my brother.

Bo and Grace Lowe raise their dogs and newborn puppies in their beautiful home where all our nurtured with TLC. These are special dogs. When you meet these dogs, you will understand. Why buy a puppy that could have health issues later in life? Please buy and shop responsibly, or adopt a dog in need. Are they doing OFA clearances on hips, elbows, eyes, and heart at 2 years of age? Do they recommend not to spay until 2 years of age to ensure hormones help growth plates close properly? Are they showing their dogs in some type of AKC sanctioned event? Conformation, hunt tests, agility, fun sports such as dock diving, etc? This shows the breeder is dedicated to the dog, not the check from breeding. Does the dog have AKC titles? From Canine Good Citizen, to Trick Dog, to Championship Conformation titles — you want your breeder to be helping make the breed better. They should be in every generation, not 3 generations ago. Does it destroy toys, does it eat the wall, do they have to be crated, do they counter surf, are they walked on a simple slip leash or a harness? Nothing against doodles, but ensure your breeder is doing proper health testing and x-rays. You as a buyer need to know that down the line this could lead to health problems and vet bills that could have been avoided. Just because your dog is registered does not make it well bred. You want your breeder dedicated to the breed and only whelping puppies that meet this minimum criteria for well bred dogs. We pride ourselves on having a very select, well-planned breeding program, producing top quality Labrador Retriever puppies that you will be proud to own, and love to live with. All of the dogs in our breeding program come from excellent pedigrees, with Champion bloodlines.

Summerland Labradors was established in , and through selective breeding we strive to not only improve our own breeding program with every litter being better than the last, but our goal is to better the breed as a whole. Our objective is to produce a Labrador Retriever that excels in all aspects of life and conforms to the highest standards of the American Kennel Club. Health and soundness is of great importance in our breeding program, therefore all of our adult Labradors have had their hips and elbows cleared through the OFA, have their hearts cleared, are PRA and EIC tested, and have their eyes cleared through a Veterinary Ophthalmologist before they are considered for breeding. Generally, we only have litters a year, so we will occasionally have Labrador Puppies available as outstanding family companions.

Photo: hazel. Their fresh mix of genes creates a healthy dog that is ideal for an active family. Like their Goldendoodle cousins, Irish Goldendoodles are lovable, beautiful and family friendly. The Golden Retriever lends its easy going nature, love of people, playfulness and sturdy bone structure. The Irish Setter adds its lustrous red, low shedding coat, and gives the blend a wavy, teddy-bear look, along with a charming, family friendly disposition and an athletic heart. The Poodle stabilizes the non-shedding feature of the blend, while lending its good health record, keen intelligence, jovial good nature and trainability to the trio. They are trainable, athletic, good natured, and low bark. Irish Goldendoodles need regular outdoor time to run, jump and play, every single day. They thrive with families that enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors. As puppies, all doodles with be more energetic during their first months of life. As with most dogs they will settle into routine as they age and after they are spayed or neutered. Love, time, patience and puppy school is always recommended! All the fur and pom-poms has caused them to sometimes be considered frou-frou. But in reality just a few hours on the trail with a poodle will convince you otherwise. Poodles were the first Gun-Dogs, or Retrievers, bred as long as years ago, and are the great-grandparent to all retrievers since. Standard Poodles are inherently healthy dogs. They are athletic, energetic, playful, good natured, very intelligent, non-shedding and eager to learn. They love the whole family and are exceptionally great with children. Their miniature Poodle cousins were bred as companion or lap dogs for the privileged of Europe in times past. While the the Miniature Poodle maintains the intelligence, lovable nature and looks of their larger Standard cousins, they also possess the temperament of a miniature dog in that they require significantly more time and attention from their humans. Poodles, whether standard, miniature or moyen are wonderful dogs and contribute so much to the desirable characteristics of all doodles. Their natures are bright, sweet, silly and very loving toward the whole family. Today they are making a comeback with better breeding practices and genetic screening, and boy are they wonderful dogs! Irish Setters train well, love people and positively live for their time outside. Its wonderful to watch an Irish Setter out in the fields or along a river as their breed traits are displayed. They crouch, point and dash around joyfully disturbing the birds in the bushes. Setters like Poodles are a soft-mouthed breed, which means that while they were bred for hunting, it was for retrieving only and not to damage what they retrieve. This gentleness is why they make such loving dogs that are suitable for families. Irish Setters are standard sized dogs. At full grown they will weigh lbs and stand 21 inches high or taller at the shoulder. They are a low shedding breed which makes them an ideal to incorporate into the world of Doodles. They were bred as far back as the 17th and 18th century in Ireland from Gordon and Llewelyn Setters. While they were bred for hunting, it was for retrieving only and not to damage what they retrieve. This makes them a soft-mouthed breed and their gentleness is why they make such loving dogs that are suitable for families. Ethical breeding practices and genetic screening, are enabling breeders to create Golden Retrievers with improved health and wellness. The challenge with the Golden Retriever is that they do shed a whole lot, which can be a deterrent for dog loving allergy sufferers. Golden Retrievers are a sturdy and muscular, standard sized dog growing between lbs on average and stand between inches high at the shoulder. They can vary in colour from the light white of the English Cream variety, to the deep red of the field hunters. Still used to this day for hunting and retrieving, their gentle characters and sweet nature make their looks and breed traits a welcome addition to the world of Doodles. This means that our premises, facilities, paperwork, and dogs have been thoroughly inspected by a licensing officer as well as their appointed veterinarian.

As mentioned above, our priority when deciding on a breeding programme is the health and temperaments of the Sire and Dam.

By Nick Lee September 2, Mixed breeds dogs are on the rise! In recent years, owners have been more drawn to mixed breeds thanks to rescues becoming more popular, and the health benefits of breed variety in a dog. Many mixed breeds are becoming standard, such as the Goldendoodle, Bernadoodle, etc. What is a Pugweiler? A Pugweiler is a puppy of a Pug and a Rottweiler. It does not matter which parent is which, but combining the two creates a miniature version of a Rottweiler in coloring, with a pug face usually. History of the Pug Pugs are an ancient breed, with roots dating back to B. They were bred as companions for the wealthy. The Pug was recognized by the AKC as a breed early on in .The Pug is classified as a companion dog, which is exactly what they do best. They have an easy going temperament, thrive for companionship, are affectionate and playful, and love to be the center of attention. History of the Rottweiler Rottweilers are commonly believed to be one of the oldest dog breeds. The Roman Empire is believed to have created the breed when they needed a strong dog to move and guard their herds all across Europe. Using Asian Mastiff type dogs, they are believed to have bred the first distant relative of the Rottweiler, leaving them behind in Germany when they abandoned the area. The formal history of the breed dates back to , when the first standard Rottweiler was bred by the International Club for Leonbergers and Rottweiler Dogs in Germany. The breed was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in .In history, Rottweilers served many different roles. The breed is large, fearless, loyal, intelligent, obedient, and actually quite friendly, making them a great working dog or companion dog for people nowadays. Combining the Two Pugs are classified as small dogs, weighing in around pounds, while Rottweilers are in the large or extra large category, averaging about pounds. Pugs are round and short, with flat faces and wrinkles, while Rottweilers are tall and muscular, with an average snout and stocky build. Pugs have a fairly standard double coat, usually fawn or black, with fawn having black markings around the muzzle and face. The coat is short and smooth, but sheds heavily. They require regular nail trimmings, as they are not a working breed and will mostly dwell in the house. They cannot tolerate heat or altitude as well, and must be closely monitored to ensure they remain healthy. Rottweilers have a short double coat that is straight and coarse. They have undercoats that vary depending on the climate in which they live, but are known to be shedders. Their coat may feel silky, but certain parts are longer and shorter, depending on where it is on their body. The Rottweiler is always black with markings that are some variation of brown. The markings appear over the eyes, on the cheeks, on their muzzle, on the chest and legs, and beneath the tail. The two breeds do not have much in common, as you can tell. Breeding a small breed and large breed can be dangerous, and combining the two different personalities could create behavioral and health issues. Dogs of the Pug Rottweiler mix can take after either parent breeds in any aspect, making them inherently hard to predict. However from photos we have found online, most pugweilers seem to take the face and body of the pug and the coat of the rottweiler. Advantages of crossbred dogs We mentioned early that mixed breed dogs are becoming more popular, and with good reason. Not only is rescue becoming more popular, but mixed dogs are oftentimes healthier than purebred dogs. To put it simply, mixed breed dogs take the best and worst things from their mixes, creating a lower chance of the negative things affecting them. Purebreds, on the other hand, take the good and bad of the one breed, which means the bad can affect them more, as it is not offset by other good. A study found that purebred dogs have a significantly greater risk of developing many of the hereditary disorders in their bloodline. This does not mean all mixed breed dogs are healthier than purebreds, or that purebreds are unhealthy. With proper genetic testing and breeding, purebred dogs can be extremely healthy, and mixed breed dogs can have many health conditions as well. Pugweiler health conditions While mixing up the gene pool can help lower the risk of some ailments or diseases, health problems still naturally occur in both breeds. Pugs are notoriously one of the least healthy dog breeds out there. Pugs are prone to and commonly known to suffer from: Skin conditions Wrinkles are a breeding ground for bacteria and require routine cleaning Allergies Pugs are very prone to skin allergies which cause itching Respiratory issues such as Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome, which obstructs airflow in the airways, usually brought on by heat or exercise Seizures Bone and joint problems Many issues can occur here, including slipped discs, hip dysplasia, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and more Eye issues Such as bulging eyes, entropion, blindness, glaucoma, etc. Rottweilers are a fairly healthy breed, but also have their own ailments. They live around years, which is average for a large dog. Rottweilers are known to suffer from: Hip Dysplasia due to their large size Arthritis Eye issues progressive retinal atrophy PRA ,cataracts, eyelid deformities, etc. Entropion Heart problems Fairly high rate of cancer Combining the breeds can result in any of the following issues from either breed. Most notable, eye issues and bone and joint issues occur in both, making them likely to occur in a crossbreed of the two. Because of this, the two are both suitable to be house pets. Pugs are content to be lazy and lounge around on the couch. They even make great apartment pets, though they can be a bit noisy. Rottweilers are a bit more of a protective dog at first, but with proper introductions, can do well with just about anyone. They may not do well around small pets or children, and require a bit too much exercise to be kept in an apartment. Combining the two creates a dog who will likely need exercise, but not too much that it may cause a health issue, should live in a house, and be slowly introduced to small animals, other pets, children, people, etc. This all depends on the genetic makeup of your Pugweiler, and the dog itself, of course. Grooming a Pugweiler Pugweilers will require frequent grooming, as both breeds are very prone to shedding. Because of this, you will want to monitor how much time they spend outside in humid or wet conditions. How to Get a Pugweiler Pugweilers are not a commonly bred mix for a number of reasons, including health issues and the unlikely pairing, but it is still possible to find them, though not often from reputable breeders. Instead, check your local shelters for Pug and Rottweiler mixes. Check out Petfinder or other pet adoption websites to see what mixes are available and try to find one there. You never know what mixes you could find in a shelter, and an oops litter is more likely to have the Rottweiler Pug combo than a breeder is. Related Posts:. We all know how adorable pugs can be. However, if you are a true pug lover, you possibly know about their stenotic nares brachycephalic syndrome problems. It happens when breeders have crossed pure pugs for over five generations. Their nostrils become narrower than regular dog nostrils, and this often causes them to snort and snore even when they are awake. Out-crossing pugs with bigger breeds like the Rottweiler or breeds with prominent snouts helps in the redressal of the breathing problems in the subsequent generations. However, breeding a pug with other bigger breeds is obviously not an easy task. Pugs can be pesky little fellas who are more interested in playing with larger breeds and dominating them. Getting a pug male to mate with a Rottweiler female is impossible. Experts inseminate the Rottweiler female using pug sperm. The resulting puppies score out of on the cuteness meter. They are completely healthy, and they are also free from the breathing problems and joint problems common to purebred pugs. Finding a breeder that offers Rottweiler and pug mixes is tricky. If you do find one, check out the reviews and recommendations to make sure it is legit and not a puppy mill. How can you expect your mixed breed pup to be? This is a herding breed like the German Shepherds and Australian Shepherd. You can trace their origin back to the Wurttemberg area of Germany. The legion of the Roman Empire set up camp there, and the settlement soon grew into a sprawling town with signature red roofs. The Rottweiler is a very diverse breed, and people have used them for hunting, protection, and herding. As a result, they are highly energetic, active and obedient. Without enough space to run around, they can develop behavior issues over time. Learning about the pug On the other hand, Pugs originated in China. They can be seen in the works of Confucius in BC. While they are somewhat similar to the Pekingese and Lion Dog, they bear very little similarity to the snub-nosed dog breeds of the west. In spite of the small size, they are active, smart, obedient and quite easy to train. Unlike other small dog breeds like the Chihuahua, pugs are great with other bigger dog breeds and even other pets. The demeanor of pugs exudes an elegance that they have experienced in their early days in the orient. They were a luxury dog breed who had personal quarters and guards. Looking at the parents can give us some insight into the attitude and personality of a mixed breed dog. Thankfully, the mixed breed takes up the best of the best traits from each parent breed. Apart from being undeniably cuddly, they are smart, attentive, fast learners, affectionate and alert. They should be great with children of all ages , other dogs of any breed and other pets too.

If playing tug and fetch with your personal mini-Rottweiler has always been your dream, then this is your chance to realize it. We all love having cats and dogs , who are friendly and affectionate, but one of the downsides to it is the separation anxiety that comes with it. There might be one or two puppies, which show excessive attachment to one member of the house. Sometimes, they do not like being alone in the house. Apart from the big dog genes that are asking them to run about, the little dog genes in the mix are also making them anxious and insecure. The pug-Rottweiler puppies will need a big space to grow up healthily If you are thinking of adopting a pug-Rottweiler mix for an apartment, make sure he or she has enough space to play. They love being outdoors, so make time to take him or her for long walks in the mornings and at night. If you have to leave home for a while, give them a comfort corner. This should be somewhere close to the front door and front window, where they can see and hear all movement. Pugs and Rottweiler breeds are popular for wreaking havoc when their owners leave them home for hours on end. Dog and human connection is needed in raising a healthy and happy pet. The obvious solution is not to leave them alone and get a puppy sitter, but helping them accommodate to new setups by creating comfy nooks, giving them their favorite toys, talking to them specifically before leaving and installing doggy facetime screens can help manage them perfectly. The disadvantages of crossing a pug with a Rottweiler The only downside will be the shedding. Rottweiler dogs shed throughout the year, and a puppy with a Rottweiler mother may actually shed just as much as his or her purebred ancestors. Invest in a good furminator and a good vacuum before you bring the pooch home. Their health is otherwise in prime condition. They might have a tendency to overeat pug genes!

Protective Having a Rottweiler parent, the Rottweiler Pug mix is protective of its family and will defend its owners if it senses any danger. It is not as aggressive as a Rottweiler or any other guard dog but it does get aloof. Active and Energetic Pugs are highly energetic and so are Rottweilers. Having both these breeds in a single dog results in a high-energy dog that requires a lot of exercises. This is what makes it so playful and fun to be around.

You should be careful not to over-exercise your Rottweiler Pug mix as this can be damaging to its overall health and wellbeing. It also sheds a lot and does not do well in loneliness.

Difficult to Train The Rottweiler Pug mix is dominating and can be difficult to train. It has an alpha attitude. Making it focus can be a challenge. It requires an assertive and dominating owner to train it and to teach it commands. The Rottweiler Pug mix is an intelligent dog, but it does require some positive reinforcements to focus and train.

Cannot be Left Alone Pugs are notorious for wreaking havoc on the house once their owners leave. The Rottweiler Pug mix takes after its pug parent and does not do well alone. It is an aggressive chewer and will probably bite your favorite shoes if left alone for a long time. Pugs are also infamous for thrashing stuff in the house in the absence of their owners. It is better to hire a dog sitter instead of leaving the dog alone. It is a fairly new breed of dog which is being adored by individuals across the United States. This also makes their origin rather unknown. Hybrid breeds are tough to predict, especially in their first generations. Having a pure-bred Rottweiler and a Pug as parents, the Rottweiler Pug mix inherits the appearance of a Rottweiler with the personality of a Pug. To understand the origins of a new breed, it is important to understand the origins of its parent breeds. The Rottweiler Dating back to the ancient Roman Empire, the Rottweiler is a guard dog, historically used to herd livestock and fend off predators. It is one of the most famous dogs in the United States. This breed is extremely loyal and protective and will defend its owner with all its might. Today, the Rottweiler is generally used as a guard dog, service dog, or police and military dog due to its bravery and loyalty to its owners. It is a small dog, historically kept as a luxury with personal guards and quarters. It bears little similarity to the other snub-nosed dog breeds. The Pug is great with other dog breeds, unlike other similar dogs such as the Chihuahua. It is used as a family dog due to its friendliness and obedience. The Rottweiler Pug The Rottweiler Pug mix is a hybrid breed and there is little to no history about it, as is the case with most crossbreeds. It is an adorable, smart, and energetic dog that loves socializing and interacting with its owners. Originating from Rottweilers and Pugs, this mix is an ideal choice for families looking for a new addition to the family. Rottweiler Pug Mix Appearance The Rottweiler Pug mix is a small to medium-sized dog that usually inherits the coat of its Rottweiler parent. It has the face and the temperament of a Pug which makes it an adorable pet. Having two vastly different parent breeds, each pup of the Rottweiler Pug mix looks completely different. The Rottweiler is a medium-sized guard dog with a short double coat. The Pug is a lot smaller than the Rottweiler but also has a small double coat. This mix makes for unique combinations. Image Source Rottweiler Pug Mix Height The height of the Rottweiler ranges from around inches while the Pug is a small dog with a height range of inches. A cross between them results in a puppies on all ends of the spectrum. The average height of a Rottweiler Pug mix is around inches. The Rottweiler is a lot heavier and bulkier with weight ranging from 80 to lbs. The average weight of a Rottweiler Pug mix ranges from 18 to lbs. This vast range is the result of the huge difference between the parent breeds. It is super friendly with other people and pets but can get aloof if it senses some danger. The Rottweiler is famous for being an excellent guard dog. It has a history of a herding dog and has a natural prey drive. This makes it an ideal choice for a guard dog. The Pug is the exact opposite of the Rottweiler. It is a loving, low-energy, and adorable dog that loves interacting with everyone. It is used as a companion dog and is extremely family-friendly. The Rottweiler Pug mix inherits the temperament of both its parents. It is generally a gentle, loving, and affectionate dog. Comfortable around strangers and other animals, it rarely gets into serious trouble. It does have a protective instinct thanks to the Rottweiler in its genes which makes it protective of its owners. Early socializing and training can help reduce this instinct and make it an even more welcoming dog. Image Source Rottweiler Pug Mix Health Problems Being a cross between two dog breeds, the Rottweiler Pug mix can inherit the diseases and health problems common to the parent breeds. These can potentially be life-threatening. Hybrid breeds are at the risk of developing various diseases they inherit from their parents. These genetic issues can lead to several life-threatening problems and, in some cases, death. Despite the dangers, the Rottweiler Pug mix has an average lifespan of around years which is normal for a small to medium-sized dog. Both parent breeds are prone to developing certain diseases which they can pass down to their offspring: Hip Dysplasia. How does it happen might be your first question when considering the combination of Rottweilers and Pugs? Pugs are clearly not large dogs compared to Rottweilers. Because of this, this must be carried out with extreme care and by a qualified breeder. A male pug cannot interact with a female Rottweiler for mating purposes. Therefore, you have to choose carefully between the Rottweiler parent being a male or a female. The mixed breed of dog has a lot of benefits and drawbacks after mating. By Crossbreeding a female Rottweiler and a male Pug, we get the perfect mixed breed, called the Pug Rottweiler mix. This Pug-Rottweiler mix will be in excellent health. The likelihood of any serious health problems for him or her will be extremely minimal, which is fantastic. This will also result in a longer lifespan for the dog and lower costs for you. This is a fantastic way to enjoy all the benefits of a rottweiler without having to deal with its hostility and violence. Shedding is one of the drawbacks of this mixed breed. Both breeds perspire. Pugs shed constantly, but Rottweilers often shed twice each year. There will likely be dog fur everywhere. There are steps that can be taken to address this problem. People often give cute nicknames to their pets. Sometimes, they often tend to give nicknames to some dog breeds, especially crossbreeds, mixing the two names of the purebred parent breeds. Essentially, the nicknames are nothing but a combination of the two dog breed names. Meet The Parent Breeds Yes, the parent breeds of the Pug Rottweiler mix are known to be great family dogs, but we must agree on the fact that this is a rather strange mix. These two breeds do have different backgrounds as well as different personality types. The Rottweiler breed is known as a great guard dog, a watchdog of Mastiff descendants; some say that they are better working dogs than German Shepherds. However, different from the Rottweiler dogs, the Pug parent breed has a bit more of a laid-back personality. This pooch does not require crazy amounts of training and exercise. However, it does require a bit more health maintenance. This mix results in a medium sized dog whose character may have dominant traits of either parent. The Rottweiler Rottie dogs are a very old breed. The breed was developed in Rome in the year .They were utilized to herd livestock at the time and were known as Roman Drover Dogs. These dogs were employed by the Romans in the Roman Empire to distribute food to the troops as they attempted to conquer Europe. The drover dogs were in charge of the cattle that the Romans would bring along as a source of sustenance. Later, the butchers would simply kill the animals, load the meat into a cart, and move the cart alongside the soldiers. On carts, they would pull heavy loads of meat. They were designed to be extremely durable and sturdy. Eventually, Rottweilers made their way to Germany, where they became better renowned. They were employed as police, military, and security dogs in Germany. They protected and assisted people serving mostly in the German army while working side by side with them. They eventually immigrated to the US and started living as household pets and guard dogs while continuing to serve as police dogs. They are presently among the most popular dog breeds in America. They were high-class small dogs. They were frequently owned exclusively by royal families. They eventually migrated to several regions of Asia and are still prevalent in royal families today. These pets were treated with the utmost respect. They led quite opulent lives. For the Chinese authorities that owned them, this was a crucial issue. They believed that the creases were lucky charms. They would understand the precise wrinkles as Chinese symbols or letters and decipher the messages their Pug was trying to convey. Pugs arrived in Europe when China began trading with other nations later in the s and s, primarily with those in Europe. Pugs arrived in America during the Civil War and quickly established themselves as the popular home pet that they are today. Although their lifestyle may not be as opulent as it was in China, the individuals who own them all across America adore and cherish them. It is impossible to predict with certainty how a mixed breed will look. This is due to the fact that you are unsure of which breed your mixed-breed Rottweiler and Pug will resemble more. In terms of appearance and size, even dogs from the exact same generation frequently vary from one another! The body shape of a Rottweiler Pug hybrid dog will most likely resemble a Pug, with the exception of the face. The face will have a Rottweiler-like pointedness to it. This dog will weigh somewhere between 20 pounds and 12 inches in height. This is a typical pug size; thus, if the Rottweiler gene is present, the dog will be much bigger. Rottie puppies weigh around pounds and are roughly 25 inches tall. The pup you get from a male mix will often be larger. In both breeds, females often have smaller frames. The Rottweiler Parent A Rottweiler gives off a first impression of being strong, and this perception is mostly accurate. A little female Rottweiler can reach a height of 22 inches, while a huge male can reach a height of 27 inches, making them slightly taller than tall, giant dogs. Weights range from 36 to 54 kilograms or 80 to pounds. Blocky dogs with large heads is the usual description of the Rottweilers. Their ears are considerably drooping and close to the head. Although rottweilers have robust, square muzzles, their loose flies can make them a little drooly lips. The recommended length for tail docking is one to two vertebrae. Typical of the bigger dogs, Rottweilers can take a while to mature. Despite the fact that adult height is frequently established by one year of age, many do not attain their full adult growth until they are 2 or 3 years old. These dogs will gain weight, enlarge their chests, and mature into the enormous creatures we anticipate. The Pug Parent The Pug has relatively short legs and is a tiny, strong, barrel-shaped dog. Sadly, this can and frequently does result in breathing issues in this breed. Its eyes are big, round, and darker, and it has little, rose or button-shaped earlobes that are coated with fine, thinner hairs as opposed to velvet. This breed is renowned for having deep, many wrinkles covering both his cheeks and his temples. Pug tails are curled by nature. The tail could have one or two loops. This black mark on the forehead, which is not always present in Pugs, was once believed to be a lucky charm. Males and females have slightly distinct appearances; females tend to be slightly smaller and lighter than males. Pug puppies are much rounder than they will be as adults, with excess skin and a significantly narrower physique. By the age of two, they will have reached their full adult size. The tendency of Rottweilers to be aggressive is typically subordinated to this feature. This hybrid breed is incredibly sociable and welcoming. They enjoy interacting with people. Due to how much they adore being around people, they occasionally even experience separation anxiety whenever they are away from their owner or family. Due to these factors, the family and this dog would make a wonderful family. Mixed-breed Rottweiler-Pug dogs get along nicely with kids and other animals. They nevertheless make excellent watchdogs because this hybrid retains certain Rottweiler characteristics. They will defend their home and the individuals who are dear to them. When trained, you can rely on this puppy to be an exceptionally attentive dog. It is still crucial to socialize this dog, just as it is crucial to do so with any rottweiler, whether you decide to adopt or buy a Rottweiler-Pug mix. If a dog is not trained, they will all behave badly; therefore, start training them early. Pugs were developed as companions, and they excel at providing companionship. It is typically a calm dog breed and is pleased to be your personal lap dog while you watch a movie or read a book. This does not imply that the Pug is a personality-less dog breed. On the contrary, it is a humorous, energetic dog who loves to party and entertains his owner with ridiculous acts. Numerous elements, including training, socialization, and heredity, have an impact on temperament. Puppies with good dispositions are interested and playful, approachable, and want to be cuddled. Select a puppy that is in the midst of the pack rather than one that is bullying its littermates or cowering in a corner. Like any dogs, Pugs require early socialization or being exposed to a variety of sights, noises, and experiences when they are young. In order to guarantee that your Pug pup develops into a well-rounded dog, socialization is important. He should start by enrolling in a kindergarten class for puppies. Regularly hosting guests, taking him to crowded parks, dog-friendly shops, and on unhurried walks to encounter neighbors will all assist him in developing his social skills. Everyone has an opinion on them based on what they have read, heard, or personally experienced. Due to their breeding history and the purpose of making this dog breed, Rottweilers can be naturally more aggressive. They were initially developed to aid in conflict and collaborate with military troops, as you read previously. They were intended to work tirelessly and be aggressive, not to be lap dogs. This problem has been prevalent ever since they were adopted as domestic pets. Despite this having been such a strong and significant aspect of what Rottweilers are, these features are frequently still present in Rottweiler mixed breeds. The majority of the time, Rottweilers retain this feature. Pug and Rottweiler mix puppies are generally healthy when they are born, as was previously said. Both little dogs and giant dogs can have health problems, and size is frequently a defining characteristic of some health problems. Small dogs also encounter the same health problems, and many large dogs do as well. As a result, combining a large dog with a smaller dog helps to avoid many of the health problems which each size of dog encounters. Brachycephalic Syndrome , which causes Pugs to have narrower noses than the majority of other dog breeds, is a common condition. When at least 5 generations of Pugs have been bred, this occurs. As Pugs age, joint problems become a regular problem as well. Both of these Pug genetic conditions are aided by the genes of the Rottweiler. Possible Health Problems If you decide to purchase a dog from a reputable breeder, they should disclose any health issues you must become knowledgeable of so that you can plan ahead and anticipate some of these issues. Obesity is the only health problem that the Rottweiler Pugs regularly have. Both breeds are susceptible to gaining weight. You can stop it by giving your dog a lot of protein. They acquire weight when they eat grains. The majority of issues can be solved by feeding them properly. By conducting research and providing for your dog, you should therefore be capable of being ready for any health issues that your Rottweiler-Pug mix may encounter. Therefore, I present you with the most common Pug Rottweiler mix health issues: 1. Hip Dysplasia Both small and large breeds, including Pugs, are afflicted by this disease. It is believed that a variety of factors, including nutrition, environment, and heredity, are responsible for this hip joint malformation. With the right veterinary care, affected Pugs typically enjoy normal, healthy lives. Hip dysplasia is characterized by having huge joint problems of the bone connecting the hip with the main joint of the leg by the so-called hip socket. This condition can be solved by buying a dog from a reputable breeder and not at all costs from puppy mills. Demodectic Mange All dogs travel with a little companion known as a Demodex mite, sometimes known as demodicosis. In the first few days after birth, the mother dog infects her puppies with this mite. Only the mother may transmit the mite to her pups; it cannot be spread to people or other dogs. Demodex mites are parasites that dwell in follicles and are mostly harmless. Demodectic mange , however, can appear if your Pug mix has a damaged or compromised immune system. Localized or widespread demodectic mange are both possible. The forehead, chest, and forelimbs all develop red, scaly patches of the skin accompanying hair loss in the small section. It is regarded as a puppy ailment and frequently goes away on its own. The generalized type of demodectic mange can develop. Therefore, you should still take your dog to the vet. Older pups and young dogs are more susceptible to widespread demodectic mange, which impacts the entire body. Over its entire body, the dog develops skin infections, bald areas, and patchy skin. All dogs who get widespread demodectic mange should be neutered or spayed, according to the American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology, as there is a genetic connection. Breathing Problems Some dog breeds, such as Mastiffs, English bulldogs, Pugs, and their hybrids, are known for having smushed-up faces that make them look cute-ugly. But there is a price for those attractive features. For a long time, scientists believed that their shorter faces were the primary factor. However, genes discovered in another breed imply that the breathlessness may be in their DNA! Even if the face bones are smaller, the smooth muscles inside are still the same size and are crammed into a much smaller area. As a result, the nose, as well as upper airways become more constricted and more difficult to breathe through. The clinical symptoms caused by these impacts are described by BAOS. The main hereditary present from birth defects are enlarged and thick soft palates and stented nasal passages abnormally narrow nostrils. Maintenance When it comes to taking care of your mixed breed pooch, there are a few things to consider. As we, as humans, need some basic necessities, so do our furry friends! They need to be given high quality dog food, have yearly vet checks, and be groomed, exercised, and trained properly. Therefore, we will discuss these components in detail, so you can have a better, more detailed perspective when it comes to taking care of your pet and giving it the highest possible quality of life. They can consume a wide variety of human foods. However, it is recommended that you keep dogs on a diet that is high in dog food. The best food for Rottweilers is protein-based and contains little to no grains. The food you provide Rottweilers is crucial since it can significantly affect their weight. You need to carefully read the Rottweiler feeding chart! Pugs also require a rather specialized diet. They require extremely tiny dog food pieces. When they chew their food, it aids them. Therefore, it is wise to check the Pug feeding chart. In addition, a lot of Pugs have allergies to things like chicken, maize, soy, and wheat. Unfortunately, most dog foods contain all of them as common components. A lot of the best dog foods contain chicken as the main ingredient. It is preferable to avoid using chicken as the main ingredient due to this constraint. Additionally, avoiding foods with a high grain content is a smart idea. This aids in providing for the dietary requirements of both dog breeds. We advise that you do an allergy test prior to feeding your dog. Therefore you are aware of your possibilities when it comes to dog food. But adding some raw dog food components would be great for any kind of dog breed, for sure! Daily Exercise Needs Due to their high energy level, purebred Rottweilers typically require two hours of daily exercise. It also gives kids a wonderful outlet for some of their energy, which promotes their overall health. Conversely, pugs tend to have low to moderate levels of energy. The energy level of Rottweiler pug mixes is more moderate. They require room to be able to play and run around, but they must not be overworked because doing so could exhaust the Pug and make them overheat. Too many baths for them can cause their skin to become dry. This is not very beneficial for the dog, but it is also not very beneficial for anyone who is sensitive to dogs, as dry skin results in pet dander, which is what causes allergic reactions in people with pet allergies. These dogs do shed quite a bunch; therefore, brushing their fur is a good practice to keep the hair controlled and prevent the accumulation of a lot of hair. During these two times, you should wash their teeth once a day , and the remaining months of the year, around twice a week. Cleaning and clipping their nails is necessary for basic grooming. In addition, you should keep their ears clean and ensure that you brush their teeth. They are typically all rather simple to teach. It becomes slightly more difficult when these dogs are mixed together. Since Rottweilers are such dominating canines, they will attempt to assume the position of alpha if no one else is available. This mixed breed demands a master who will treat them with dominance. If you can do that, training will be simpler. They are exceptionally smart dogs, which is advantageous to you. Therefore this will happen. They get easier to train as they increase their workout level. Keep them active so that you may take advantage of that when teaching them. The training of this hybrid breed is crucial. The best form of training is socialization rather than any other kind. These puppies will become more well-rounded and prepared to interact with people or other dogs by being socialized. It will be beneficial for them if you take them to a dog park a few times per week so they can interact with other dogs. All mixed breed animals with Rottweiler genes fall under this category as well. The most critical action you can take for your Rottie is socialization. Even though it is much smaller than a Rottweiler, the coloration and appearance are frequently extremely similar also, just like the Doberman! You combine the finest of both worlds with this mixture. You receive a dog that is extremely healthy, attractive, devoted, lively, brave, and energetic. This mix will be among the outstanding guard dog s, as well as a lap dog just as great as a Chihuahua minus the fierce personality! They are medium-level energy dogs, which means that they need moderate activity. With such a designer breed, you have a truly special dog on your hands. You can welcome this outstanding dog into your home first! It would seem to be such an odd mix with this large, fierce watchdog and this small playful Pug. For instance, it is not possible for the two to breed naturally, so artificial insemination is used to produce the puppies. It is an occasional event when the two breed naturally. Usually, it is the Rottweiler female that is inseminated with the sperm from the male Pug. This is done medically through In-vitro fertilization. For the most part, this is a very successful process with the Pug Rottweiler mix. However, it is not easy to find breeders who are doing this. This hybrid is difficult and expensive to produce. However, if you do find a breeder you will also find that the Rottweiler Pug is very expensive. The type of breeding we just discussed is what makes the Pug Rottweiler mix puppies so difficult to find from a breeder. These Pug Rottweiler mix puppies are likely to be in rescues and shelters because they happened by accident and the owners do not know their value. These pups are usually healthier than either parent without Rottie joint problems or the Pug breathing problems. If you can find a puppy from a breeder that is your best bet. Yet there are still pitfalls with both breeders and shelters. For instance, you really want to avoid a puppy mill dog. Not only is this type of breeding unethical and harmful, but you are also likely to get an unhealthy dog in the long run. First of all, they are great-looking dogs. Half the size of a Rottweiler, with some physical traits of the Pug and the coloring of a Rottie, these are beautiful dogs. So where did they come from you might ask? The Rottweiler Most people are surprised to find out that the Rottweiler is the descendent of a herding and hunting dog. We think of them mostly in the area of a guard dog, protection, and perhaps search dogs. But herding dogs? No way. However, the Rottie is a descendant of the Roman Cattle Dog — certainly a herding breed. For instance, they are descendants from the same lines as the German and Australian Shepherds, both breeds still strong herders. Their origins can be traced back to Wurttemberg. We are not surprised to find they are German dogs, however. When the Romans ruled this land they built camps, then settlements then towns. These towns were populated with homes that had red roofs. From this came the name of the local herding dog — the Rottweiler. Throughout their history, these energetic dogs have served humans well in many capacities. The Pug One would think of the Pug as the clear opposite and never put the two dogs together. The Pug is a small companion animal developed in China as a companion to emperors and royal families. Along with other toy dogs out of China, such as the Pekingese and Lhasa Apso, the Pug was a court favorite. By BC the Pug is showing up in the paintings and drawings of Confucius. The Pug is a very active little dog, smart, and easy to train. They are obedient and loyal, much like the Rottweiler. These small dogs are happy to spend their time with larger dogs and other animals. However, instead of being guard dogs like the Rottie, the Pug had its own human guards. Put the Rottweiler Pug mix at the top of your list of dogs to watch out for. I mentioned earlier that they can be quite a bit healthier than the parent dogs. However, they are not perfect. This dog is expected to live a long life like the Pug. Larger dogs, such as the Rottweiler do not have as long a life expectancy as the smaller dogs. Yet when you develop a Rottweiler Pug mix you increase the life expectancy of the pups to 12 to 15 years. There are, however, some issues you need to look for in your Pug Rottweiler mix. As you might know, the smashed-faced Pug suffers from breathing issues and Brachycephalic Syndrome. The Rottweiler suffers from Osteochondritis or arthritis and hip dysplasia. The Pug Rottweiler mix puppies seem to have none of these medical issues. However, when you do mix these breeds you have a chance of all these things happening. So if buy from a reputable breeder, they should have tested the parents and pups and know if you need to plan for serious medical issues. For the mixed breed, obesity can be an issue. Separation anxiety is also an issue. It is a much smaller dog than the Rottweiler but often the coloring and look is very much like a Rottie. With this mix, you get the best of both worlds. You get a very healthy, good-looking dog that is loyal, playful, courageous, and active. This is a dog your friends and neighbors will not have. Most will never have heard of a Rottweiler Pug mix. Be the first to share your home with this exceptional dog! My passion for dogs drives me to share my knowledge and expertise, helping families build strong, loving bonds with their four-legged friends. Welcome to Sirdoggie A blog crafted with love for all dog lovers and their families! COM Rottweiler Pug coat colors and types Pugweiler Mix has a double coat with a short dense undercoat and guard hair that are medium in length. Pug with Rottweiler markings is typical for this mixed breed with a dominant black overall coat with mahogany or rust markings on the eyebrows, muzzle, chest, and legs. It is also possible for the Pugweiler to have a fawn coloring similar to the Pug. They are intelligent, observant, and receptive to learning. The Pugweiler shows great affection to their family and loves being in their company, but may also display some aloofness to strangers like the Rottweiler. But, overall, they are friendly and comfortable around strangers. They are prone to separation anxiety, so they must not be left alone for long periods of time. Otherwise, unwanted behaviors may develop like chewing furniture or other items or pooping indiscriminately around the house. Chewing helps your pup alleviate some of that anxiety, stress, and tension. Do Pug and Rottweiler Mix make great family pets? Yes, Pug and Rottweiler Mix do make great family pets since they are affectionate, gentle, and loyal. The Pug Mix Rottweiler could easily get along with kids and other pets just as long as they are socialized and trained early. Pug Mix Rottweiler also has a moderate protective instinct. They would not hesitate to alert your family members by barking when they spot a stranger approaching your home. Are Pugweilers aggressive dogs? The Rottweiler side of the Pugweiler has territorial instincts and may show some wariness towards strangers or other animals. But, this can be corrected by early socialization and proper training. Overall, the Pugweiler is an even-tempered breed that rarely shows any sign of aggressive behavior, like excessive barking or growling. They are typically comfortable and calm to most people and other animals. Ideal living conditions for the Pugweiler Since the Pug cross Rottweiler is a small breed, they can easily adapt to any kind of living conditions, whether it be a large home or a small apartment. If the Pug cross Rottweiler has a short snout, it is not ideal for them to live in hot or humid places. The small air passages in their nostrils may not adequately cool the air or release heat when he is very warm. Pug Mix with Rottweiler training Pug x Rottweiler is an intelligent breed that can be trained easily. But, they need someone who is firm and consistent with the training. They are more receptive to alpha owners since they have a tendency to be stubborn. Puppy socialization can begin before they are two 2 months old or around the time they were given their primary vaccinations. During this time, they are more responsive to other people and animals, and getting them to familiarize with various smells will make them more at ease with different situations. At 4 months old, Pug x Rottweiler can be taught basic commands like sit, walk, or stay. Positive reinforcements such as by using treats and praises will motivate them to follow the commands. Training sessions should be kept short to prevent them from getting distracted and bored. Unlike the Rottweilers, which are highly active and needs to be exercised at least 2 hours a day, the Pug is only mildly active. A great way to exercise your Pug and Rottweiler Mix is to take them for short walks around the neighborhood every day for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. They tend to be energetic in short bursts and may tire easily if exercised strenuously. When taking your Pug and Rottweiler Mix out for a walk, be sure to use either a retractable dog leash or a rope dog leash to keep your K9 friends under your full control while still allowing them the space to explore their surrounding. If you have a busy schedule and have a backyard or patio, it is a good idea to let them roam freely in your yard. Simply walking, light running, chasing, or jumping is a great form of exercise for your little Pugweiler puppies. If you do let your Pug Rottweiler Mix puppies roam freely in your backyard, make sure your yard is fully fenced-in. Please note that some towns or counties may have zoning laws that prohibit putting up physical fences. A good alternative would be to install a wireless dog fence for your Rottweiler Pug puppies which will also keep them safe and contained within your backyard. Many K9 owners prefer the wireless dog fence because it is invisible, cost-efficient, and flexible to any and all types of terrains. So whether you live on a mountainous, hilly, or flat grassy terrains, the invisible doggy fence can still keep your pups safe no matter where you live. Many dog parents with an invisible doggy fence will also install an electronic dog door so their furry family members can head outside to the backyard and back into the house all on their own. This way, your pooch can enjoy the outdoors during the day while staying safe indoors at night. So whether you work from home or at the office, your pups can now get some fresh air without requiring you to open and close the door behind them. Rottweiler and Pug grooming and cleaning Pug Rottweiler Mix breeds are moderate shedders, so they need to be brushed twice every week to prevent hairs accumulating around the house. Most groomers would recommend using a medium slicker brush or a hand glove to control the shedding and remove any loose fur. However, during heavy shedding seasons when they blow out their coat, they need to be brushed every day with a FURminator de-shedding tool to remove tangles and matting. Brushing their coat not only removes loose hairs and debris, but also distributes natural oils to their coat for a shinier look. During the heavy shedding seasons, you can expect to have a moderate amount of fur on your sofa, carpet, rug, and floor. If you want to keep the amount of loose fur under control, we recommend investing in a powerful vacuum cleaner such as the Miele Vacuum Cleaner , which is quiet, durable, and can easily transition between carpet and hardwood floor.
