Should a Pug be left alone? ›

Pugs adore company and don't do well if left alone. We wouldn't recommend leaving your Pug alone, but if you have to it should never be for longer than four hours and you should provide your Pug with toys they can safely play with on their own.

Head/face: To meet the standard, the shape of a Pug's head should be round when you see him from the side and square when you look at him face to face. The bottom of his black velvet ears should fall to his eye level. His large, round, dark eyes have a soft expression.

Why? Because this charming, playful, people-loving breed is a lot of dog crammed into a small body. Pugs are expressive, funny, loyal, and sweet. To know a Pug is to adore one.

Pugs are a super popular choice for first time dog owners, as their laid-back personalities can mean they get along well with most people, as well as other pets. Their short coat also means they're pretty easy to keep clean and their grooming requirements are fairly low.
