Is the Pug the right dog for you?

Many experienced, as well as inexperienced, dog owners are overwhelmed by the demands of a Pug, leading to the dogs being abandoned even before they reach adulthood! We offer the Pug Profiler program that analyzes you and your environment and provides recommendations about how compatible a Pug might be for your household.

Many of the recommendations of the Profiler are based upon the Don't Get a Pug page which contains some of the most important things you should know before you get a Pug. Many of the recommendations generated by the Profiler are phrased as absolutes and generalities, however, in real life, nothing is absolute. Each Pug and potential owner are unique. Please use this Profiler in the spirit for which it was intended - to help educate potential owners about the unique nature of Pugs.
