    My dog is a Boston terrier / Pug mix. He does have the breathing problems and cataracts. But he’s very healthy. He’s actually pretty fit and he’s 8 but still acts like a puppy… a very mature puppy. His name.is Froggy

    Wish we could have a pug but husband’s lung issues can’t handle a pug’s constant shedding. Had to switch to a single coat breed when we lost the last pug in 2012. Dachshunds aren’t pugs, but I love them too.

    Remember every dog or puppy will eventually have a sick day. Not counting the Vet visits. So just about every dog will be a little to huge maintenance. Example; my Pug as a puppy had to get all his shots. Some last 3 years some 1 year. So without grooming costs if you decide to get let’s say a poodle or shaggy type breed. It’s not fair to the pup that you think he can let his/ her hair get longer because it’s winter. Or ear cleaning, nail clipping. You must take all these things into consideration. My little guy got a UTI infection. That’s a urine infection. That’s not that rare. That can cost a few hundred dollars. I know they’re cute when they’re little or you see one little guy that gives you that look and you must take him home. Your best bet is your local ASPCA or human shelter or a rescue. Rescues are great. They come spayed or neutered and have their first shots but you must give a donation which can be anywhere from 300$ and up. So if you have small children, please keep in mind kids aren’t amused for very long. You will have to take care of the new little guy. Just reminding you from many experiences. I volunteered at a ASPCA and it was very rewarding but sad too. People bring pets back because they don’t think of these things.
    Good luck and happy hunting. A pet can be very rewarding!
