    Default HOW are your pugs around OTHER DOGS??

    Zeena has turned into a diva..lol. she now barks at my sons girlfirend dog when he comes to stay two nights a week. she never used too. but she ie getting braver with age..lol
    she has even tried to chase the cat on occasion too.

    Zeus and Max are both fine with other dogs. they are both very cautious around the bulldogs. the bulldog stare and they are out of the way. the bulldogs are good with the pugs though..especially Bella. Gus is more dominant. Max thinks he should be boss of the house so they have a few discussions..nothing major and Max backs off.

    what about your pugs?

    Phoebe really isn't very good around other dogs. My boyfriend's cousin came over the other day and borught his pug, Sophie. It did not go well. Sophie was an angel while Phoebe barked non stop, tried to nip Sophie in the face several times and then tore up the kitchen rug when she was put in there to keep her away from Sophie. The longer she is with is the worse she gets. I really wanted to get her in some socialization classes but with the heartworm treatments and recovery period that really hasn't been an option yet. I am hoping to do that soon though.

    We have only introduced Eddie to a few dogs so far and he is a little dominant. He puts his head over their shoulders alot with a very stiff body and yes tries to mount them all, boy or girl. He has never shown aggression though which is good and when the other dogs tell him to get off he does back off, but usually keeps trying for awhile.
    If he is on leash though he does bark and scream alot to get over to the dog. We don't let him when he acts like this just walk on by. I aggree with Star, time for some socialization classes, just have to find the right one that will welcome our screaming Eddie.

    Toby is outgoing and loves other dogs, but is a little shy with people he doesn't know. Bella really likes other dogs, but big dogs are kind of scary to her. Roxy has a preference for boy dogs, but is terrible with introductions. She can be dog aggressive and I've seen her chase a dog much larger than her off my property LOL.

    Miko seems to be ok around dogs unless they get too bold with her... she's got a temper. She's outgoing with people and loves to chase cats. Myla isn't so friendly with dogs... she likes to howl at them and cry until she can get close and then raises her hackles (she never used to be like that either)... she's shy around strangers, but tolerates them.

    Wally is fantastic, and Leto is good until someone tries to actively dominate HIM -- then he loses it. Unfortunately, he always loses, but doesn't want to give up till he's won, so we have had a few hairy moments with dogs he doesn't know.

    My MuShu is very shy around other dogs. When we go to pug meetups she either stays close by my side, tries to get up into my lap and if I don't let her she either stays under my chair or she wanders off by herself. Only recently has she tried to sniff other puggies behinds but she will never, ever let them sniff her! She may not realize she is actually a pug, or a dog for that matter. She loves kitties and people tho'.

    Elsa is one bold girl... she loves them all and the larger the better!! I am constantly apologising for her running up to people or their dogs - at 5 mths her recall is only when it suits her!! She has only once got snarly with another and that was because they wouldn't let her go... I do find that some dogs are not sure 'what' she is!! Some treat her like a soft toy and others run away from her (which she loves because she can chase then...)

    Dumpling is submissive around bigger dogs, she gets really low and rolls over on her back until she figures out that the biger dog is not going to eat her and then it is all about the licking...licking...and more licking! My older son's lab was licked to death about the face and neck the entire time he was here for Christmas.
