Breed of the week: PUGS!

PUGS PUGS PUGS!

This post is dedicated to my friend Matt. He really loves pugs! They usually stay small and they are just a bundle of fun. These dogs are classified as brachycephalic dogs-- meaning that they have short noses that give them the "squished face look". Due to this, usually they develop breathing problems in warm/hot weather and they snort and snore a lot. They also have a cute curly-q tail! Although the wrinkles on their faces are adorable, owners should make sure they wash and dry between them properly so they don't develop infections. They don't have thick double coats so it isn't too hard to maintain their coats, but they still need frequent brushing. Pugs are really durable and healthy for their size. They are also wonderful with children and make great family pets:)

Given the description, is the pug the dog for you? Stay tuned for more upcoming posts about other breeds!

INTRODUCTION

HI EVERYONE! WELCOME!


My name is Min Kim, but I go by Alice; Min is my Korean name and I've used Alice as my American name in school since I was young, so everyone still calls me Alice. Before I go off topic, let me tell you what I plan on blogging about. I really like dogs and I plan on getting one as soon as I get a place of my own: my mom is deathly scared of dogs. I also want to encourage the adoption of dogs at reputable shelters. It's great that you can save a life and also find a new member of the family!
