Schleich Pug Puppies

With small and wrinkly faces, pugs have big and friendly personalities.

Pugs have been bred to be square in body and compact in form. As very social creatures, Pugs are attentive and love to follow people around. Found in fur colors of black, silver, fawn or apricot, these canines are known to shed quite frequently. Pug lovers find playfulness, stubbornness, and intelligence as their pet's true colors. Requiring care to avoid health problems, Pugs need someone to clean their wrinkles and to take them for walks. Pugs love to sniff in the dirt and get exercise, but they have a hard time keeping their bodies cooled off.

Fun Facts: Pugs were originally bred as laps dogs for Chinese rulers during the Shang dynasty.
