these are my fifth pugs too.
only had one that did not like it and that is OTIS
maybe the other dogs here gave the pugs the idea to play..lol
Max though is tennis ball obsessed almost.. he never played as a rescue when he first got here and then all of a sudden caught the ball and that started it..he catches and fetches all the time
it took a while for my pug to really get that he needed to go get the ball when I was trowing it lol
he's too small to be able to catch it mid-air, but he now learn to bring it back for me to trow it again
Poncho will play fetch all day as long as it involves his two favourite toys - road kill stuffed squirrel or pink stuffed bunny.
He has no interest in balls but loves his stuffies and will always be upto playing fetch or tug of war with them. He sometimes stops for a wee bit to suck on the tail or ear - very wierd lol

Rosie LOVES to play fetch! If we throw it, she brings it back for another toss and she especially loves her little tennis ball with a squeeker that came home with her from the breeder. She also has me trained tho too, LOL, as I am quilty of holding her chewies for her while she enjoys a good noshing and she also lets me know when she needs or wants something by talking to me or waving her front paws at me as if to say "hey Mom, I want a treat"! Quite spoiled our little pugglet is and we love every bit of her!

Zoe loves to play fetch! Diesel, nah, he won't bring the ball back, even the big dog does not like to fetch.

Vader loves to play fetch. Haven't seen him catch a ball yet, and in fact, I'd be surprised if he did or could. But he will fetch his squeaky ball as long as I'll let him.
I bet she could but it would be a lucky thing. She LOVES to play fetch and she's really good at it but so far she hasn't caught the ball. I use a mini Chuckit and it bounces off the fence and one time it went really high and she jumped up and the ball hit the top of her head like a soccer player. It was so cool.
I think with Max it was one of his first times that he started to fetch that he learned to catch..lol seemed natural to him I guess
HE has a bit of underjaw that might help him in catching the ball too.
HE likely learned to catch from Gus the other bully here. he is an awesome catch too.
Bella the other bulldog, Zeus and Zeena ....all of them will play ball and bring it back but not one of them has caught the ball like Max. Max rules at this game for sure.
