I heard they snore but that could be kinda cute :)
-
Some of them snort all the time and snore at night. It's actually kind of funny whenever I hang out around one, but I couldn't imagine hearing that noise all the time. Also, some of them are prone to bad eyesight. Buuuut, they do have those funny scrunched up faces.

For me it's that they are little...I don't like little dogs. That and pugs tend to snore, snort and have respiratory issues later in life.

Lol, I think they're just as cute as any other dog. I never really liked the whole scrunched up nose thing myself but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love one more then any other type of dog. And I would much rather get a pug then a huge dog. I never liked big dogs. I guess this is why I prefer cats. :P

I think not, except I don't like them very much. When my oldest daughter was little, my friends pug was trying to get to her in a , shall we say, sexual way. I stopped going there, it flipped me out. I cannot imagine that they all do that. Any dog that I have ever had, did not.

Hard to housebreak. Otherwise no.

"Because Pugs lack longer snouts and prominent skeletal brow ridges, they are susceptible to eye injuries such as puncture wounds and scratched corneas and painful Entropion. Also, the compact nature of their breathing passageways can cause problems such as difficulty breathing. Furthermore, dogs regulate their temperature through evaporation from the tongue. Because of the problems Pugs have with breathing, in conjunction with how all dogs regulate their temperature, Pugs may have trouble controlling their temperature. Pugs are bred to be indoor pets only, and must not be left outside in temperatures over 80 degrees Fahrenheit, despite loving to "sunbathe", and should never be left inside cars on hot days." Pugs living a mostly sedentary life can be prone to obesity. Therefore, it is important for Pug owners to make sure their pets have regular exercise and a healthy diet. Pugs can also suffer from a chronic form of granulomatous meningoencephalitis (an inflammation of the brain) specific to the breed called pug dog encephalitis (PDE). There is no known cause or cure for PDE, although it is believed to be an inherited disease. All dogs tend to either die or are euthanised within a few months after the onset of clinical signs, which usually occur anywhere from 6 months to 3 years of age. Pugs, along with other brachycephalic dogs (e.g. boxers, bulldogs), are also prone to hemivertebrae The screwtail is an example of a hemivertebrae, but when it occurs in others areas of the spine it can be devastating, causing such severe paralysis that euthanasia is a serious recommendation. As Pugs have many wrinkles in their faces, owners must take special care to clean inside the creases, as irritation and infection can result from improper care.[11]. Pugs also need to have their claws trimmed regularly and should only be bathed as needed, as this takes essential oils off the skin and fur. Pugs are one of several breeds that are more susceptible to Demodectic mange, also known as Demodex. This condition is caused by a weakened immune system, and it is a minor problem for many young Pugs. It is easily treatable. Some Pugs, however, are especially susceptible to the condition, and will present with a systemic form of the condition. This vulnerability is thought to be genetic, and good breeders will avoid breeding dogs who have had this condition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pug#Health

It's ok!! Happy to help you. Try www.puppyfind.com/pug and look there. If all else fails you can also try posting an ad in your local paper. Post that you are looking for a breeder and want a pug puppy. But try the website first. Good luck : )
