I'll try to get a profile picture, but he is built more like a Boston Terrier than pug.
    Rosey is the same way! She has that "hour glass shape". She's long and lanky, too, and her shape curves in past the ribs. My mom's pug, Ruby, is the exact opposite. She looks like she swallowed a watermelon, so we call her "Roob-a-melon".

    I have a small girl...she's 8 years old now and titters between 12 and 13lbs. It's been a hot summer this year, here in Arkansas so her appetite hasn't been so good either. I have to boil chicken and add the meat and broth to her kibble in order to get her to eat! I'll be so glad when Fall gets here in hopes she will get her appetite back.

    All four of my pugs are on the thin side, they're smaller than many pugs too. They weigh between 11 and 14 lbs. I prefer they stay thin, it's better for their health overall.

    Wonka is a tall and slim athletic pug and our vet says she wishes ALL her pug-clients looked like him. Nilla, on the other hand, well.... let's just say she has a few extra curves where she shouldn't have curves. However, compared to some chunky pugs we see, Nilla is still trim looking!

    Aine is 14-15 pounds.... which is a lot bigger than a year ago - she was 12 pounds.
    She only eats in the morning nad the evening with snackies for being good.

    as far as appetite goes
    Zeena has the greatest appetite of all my dogs here
    she eats and eats and does not gain anything
    she is very very active though
    something the boys could learn from her.......is the get up and go.

    diesel is pretty thin in comparison to most pugs we see! he weighs 16 lbs but it's pretty much all muscle :)
    he's just like your Zeena, he eats and eats without gaining weight!
