Buy a Pug in the UK
Like French Bulldogs, Pugs require careful breeder selection due to brachycephalic health risks. Both parents should be tested under the Kennel Club's Respiratory Function Grading Scheme and have clear eye tests, hip evaluations, and PDE (pug dog encephalitis) DNA testing. Choose puppies with open nostrils, a visible muzzle, and parents that can breathe comfortably during activity. Avoid breeders producing extremely flat-faced Pugs. Petzy promotes breeders who prioritise health and breed for moderate features that allow Pugs to live comfortable, active lives.

Temperament
Pugs are charming, sociable, and playful. They live to entertain and be near their owners. They are even-tempered and rarely aggressive, making them excellent companions for families, elderly owners, and first-time dog owners. They are attention-seekers who thrive on human interaction and can become clingy.
