What is a dog breed like a pug but doesn't have as much health problems and doesn't shed that much?

Posted by admin on July 21st, 2010

And possibly can be left home alone longer (please only people with experience with dogs)

I have two week old pug puppies and was wondering how long their eyes stay crusty before they open them? »

   French bulldogs and Boston Terriers are about the same size and have a similar look. A lot of these types of breeds have upper respiratory issues and eye issues. Look for a very reputable breeder and get references. If you must buy a dog (rather than adopt from a shelter) check out both parents to get an idea of health and temperament. This is a 13+ year commitment, make sure you research the pro’s con’s of each breed.

   If you get a pug from a reputable breeder the health issues are minimal. All brachysaphalic (i know i spelled it wrong) dogs have their own health issues, but getting one from a reputable breeder minimizes that risk.

   ANY one who says "puggle" is ignorant and you should not listen to them. A "puggle" is a baby echidna not a dog breed. The dog that is being called "puggle" is one of the worst mixes.
