Please help, just can't decide what to get?

Question

We can't decide if we should get a pug (pure), jug (pug x jack russell terrier mix), bug (pug x Boston terrier mix) or Chug (pug x cha wa wa mix) puppy. We have 3 children under 9, 1 cat and 1 female dog 80 pounds (very gentle) and now we are looking for a puppy that will be approx 10-20 pounds small when full grown. I know we want a pug or pug mix but just not sure what one of these is best for a family like ours. I am currently a stay at home mom so I will have lots of time to spend with a new puppy. Any ones advice or help would be great, also should I get a male or female or does this not matter? (will be getting it fixed)

Answer 1

get a full breed pug there easy to train and i have 2 of them

Answer 2

My personal choice would be a Heinz 57 from the pound. Small, purer dogs are usually more care, more demanding and need more running room than bigger dogs. You've said that yours is a larger dog and that it's gentle. That's what you really need with little children. If you're getting the dog fixed then the s*x should not matter that much. The temperament is the important thing.

Answer 3

How about going to the shelter & seeing if there are any small dogs there.  

Either way, please spay/nueter

Answer 4

Don't get a pure bread. Many come from puppy mills, and that's bad because in puppy mills they manipulate the mother dog and make her have as many litters as her body can take then when she can no longer reproduce they shoot her. So unless you are ABSOLUTELY positive that it didn't come from a mill go ahead. But I'd go for the bug or jug . The jug I think is a LOT cuter.

But it's really your choice. Also try checking a shelter. You can go online to

you can search by breed size age etc etc. and this is adoption. So you'd be saving the dog's life too.

pugs are good dogs . they have alot of engery . they will play with anything. i used to work at a petstore and there was a pug there and she was a sweet heart . if your children like to play that pug would play with them
