    Default ANY slim PUGS like Zeena on PV??

    both of my boys are overweight and are on diets. they are really big pugs..but Zeena on the other hand.........is tiny.
    she weighs about 14 pounds.maybe a bit more....on a full belly..lol. she eats great and has a great appetitie. she iis very very active though. as far as her parents were concerned..they were both 24 pounds.......as are all her sibblings bigger pugs................. she must have inheritted this from her background somewhere............she is tiny and petite. very small feet as well

    the boys are almost 2 of Zeena..lol so you can see the difference in size

    any other small slim pugs on PV.

    Max, my blind rescue baby is a BIG boy...he likes to think that he is just "fluffy"...but at 32 lbs. he is way past fluffy!
    Max is big boned, but needless to say he is on a diet...he's lost 4 lbs
    Jenny, my little girl rescue is 17 lbs...she was 13 lbs when I adopted her...I felt she was a little on the thin side...now she's at a perfect weight for her size and bone structure.
    Just like your Zeus and Max, my Max dreams of food and gains weight.

    My plan is to keep Yogi thin from the get go. He only 4 months. So by 6 months I'll switch him to adult food.

    Gweeb is a long and lanky pug. He eats fine but some people at the park have an impression that since most pugs are cobby bodied or unfortunately a lot easily get overweight and are seen as "the usual" people think he's sick, starved or a pug mix. I'll try to get a profile picture, but he is built more like a Boston Terrier than pug.

    Yoda is a taller, little bit longer puglet. He weighs about 18/ 19lbs. The vet says he's an "alpha" dog, that his weight is perfect and that he is even muscular hehe. Yoda is a hit whenever we walk into the vet, as you know when he's there, the way he scurries around to people to greet them, and makes little excited noises !

    the vet is always so impressed when Zeena goes to the vet. she said Zeena could be a poster child for all pugs..lol. since she is so tiny. she might have gained a bit of weight lately but she will always be a small pug............

    It seems as though all dogs are different. My little one eats and eats and eats, and she gets no fatter, I almost worry at times that she might even be too skinny. They are just not all built alike, the odd one will be a bit different, even from the same lines. I kind of like my skinny little pug though, she definitely stands out at the pug meets as the only slender little pup there.
