What are the traits of a purebred Pug?
Expert Answer
A purebred Pug typically has these traits: a large, round head, a square body proportion, facial wrinkles, and short, smooth hair. The head is large and round with many facial wrinkles, the coat is short and glossy, the lips are black and drooping, and the hindquarters are sturdy. Because of the many wrinkles, owners should regularly clean the face by turning back the folds to avoid strong body odor.
A proper Pug has that big round head, the deep wrinkle stack, and a square-ish body, plus the black droopy lips. But those wrinkles are also the maintenance tax, I clean my boy's folds daily or they smell and rash. Short glossy coat, sturdy hindquarters. When picking one, make sure the breathing is clear, flat-face health issues outweigh "cute" fast. Wrinkles are charming until they're infected.
