She wants a Pug
Discussion
Don't pander to fashion. Or pay ridiculous prices for a pup, especially on that has been bred because of popularity.
Go and rescue one. Not only will you get support and training if you need it you'll be saving a life.
This is Harry my 2 year old rescue dog Staff/irish terrier/cairn/pug/shar pei...(you get it). He doesn't usually wear glasses , he was just checking out the small print on my Car insurance.

This is Humphrey, he's now 10 and half and we've had him from a Pup.
Pug's are fantastic dogs, loyal, friendly, fun and full of character, they are very hardy and will walk for hours however you have to be careful that they don't get too hot, in the summer we could be out for 10 minuted and he would be wrecked.
They wont run for balls or sticks, they wont jump in the river or sea but they are still great fun.
We are fortunate that he never suffered from any of the common Pug issues, eyes popping out (yes it does happen) skin problems, breathing issues, he has been very healthy, however in February last year he was diagnosed with Degenerative Mylopothy (sp?).
Degenerative Mylopothy is a neurological problem that affects their spinal cord, it is common in GSD's, basically he can't feel his back legs, they move however he doesn't know what they are doing, it wont kill him however it will eventually get worse and may make him doubly incontinent or affect his breathing.
As you can see from the last photo he has wheels, we almost had him put down in the summer as he just couldn't get about as his legs wouldn't work properly and he was so depressed, he just existed.
The wife found the wheels on the internet, we thought we had nothing to lose and we haven't looked back since, he has his daily walk and he is a different dog with them.
We do have an issue with the odd wee accident but now he has a tummy band that a sanitary towel goes in and he has his wee routine.
The vet said he wouldn't see his 10th birthday, June last year, he's still going strong.
Pugs can be fit and enjoy exercise. These are a prime example
