She wants a Pug
Discussion
I've got a miniature sausage dog. He's never as happy as he is out with me walking across the Gower peninsula. He'll sleep for hours after a walk though. He can't be left alone though due to ridiculous levels of seperation anxiety and I believe pugs can be just as bad as that so it may be worth noting...

My CKCS is just the same. After watching that ITV ident advert with one having a bath I am starting to warm to them.Digitalize said:
Pugs are in fashion right now, everyone wants one. Do not buy one of them. Get a real dog, or if they want a pug, get them a cat, similar size but far better in almost every way.

They've always had a degree of popularity, what has fast increased is the pug cross. You can't fault the pugs temperaments, they have just the best of characters and are definitely all about fun, but good crosses may help reduce the pug health issues which is good.If you choose a pug look for those that won't win crufts!! So straightish tails (less chance of a twisted spine) and more of a nose!!
We've got a pug, it's a lap dog so doesn't really enjoy long walks. It's important to get one from a reputable dealer to ensure its healthy and from a good blood line as loads are inbred and not pedigree with all sorts of health issues.
Lovely family dog though, will cuddle up on the sofa and sleep with my 4yo and take a beating from my 2yo quite happily.

The sister of a lad that works for me has a Pug. It's from a "reputable breeder" with a great pedigree. It had a litter of 4 a few months ago. Sired by a male by recommendation from the breeder. #1 stillborn, #2 died first night, #3 blind because it's eyes fell out, #4 horribly deformed... Opps, sorry that should read, #4 perfect match for breed standard.
If you want a pedigree look for a working breed and from a working line not a show line. If you don't want some thing larger, how about a Cocker Spaniel. Great temperament (if a bit bonkers), will walk/run all day, pretty sound health wise, but still scrub up quite posh looking.
