do pugs make good pets are they easily traineable2007-11-25 3:01:10Answers:

First of all, regarding the "health issues" previous posters have mentioned..if you buy a QUALITY dog from a REPUTABLE breeder you won't have any problems. I've been raising pugs for a long time, and I've NEVER had any health problems with my puppies, as juveniles or adults.

Black pugs are not rare. Pugs eyes do not stick out further than their nose. My pugs go to my farm with me every day to take care of my horses. They run in the fields, chase rabbits and butterflies, and terrorize each other.no one's eye has EVER fallen out.

Now, for training..pugs are easy to train..if you use FOOD to motivate them! Pugs were bred and designed to be companion dogs. They were never meant for herding, hunting, etc. Their sole goal in life is to please and be with their owners. If you use treats, and praise you will be fine training your puppy.

Don't expect your pug to learn every trick in the book. They tend to be a little lazy, and don't care much for the "circus tricks" other dogs do. All of my dogs are licensed therapy dogs and have their Canine Good Citizen award. They have all been to obedience class. And we've never had a dog "flunk out" or not pass the class with flying colors. Good luck to you and your puppy.

I want a pug so badly! I had a friend who had one, they are so cute and friendly! I don't know how hard they are to train, but I say get one.

My co-worker just got a pug about 3 months ago. She paid about $1000 for it because it is pure bred and black which are apparently more expensive. The dog is really sweet and playful (a bit ugly though). She has had some trouble training the dog and has actually enrolled in obediance classes.
