Hey there, I have a Pug puppy named Max and he is a doll! He is about 5 months old at 12-13 lbs. My husband and I also have a female Akita named Nikki whom weighs 95 lbs. We adopted her from an Akita rescue club. They make quite the pair when we take them for walks...it's like Mutt and Jeff!
Anyhow, Max is a hoot. He snores and makes all of these funny gurgle noises. He has a beautiful fawn coat and his body is stout--the perfect pug! We are considering getting a black female sometime down the road for breeding and pet purposes. It may be more for pet purposes; like your experience, I have heard that breeding dogs is not all it's cracked up to be.
Anyhow, how long did it take to potty train your pugs? Max is smart, but it seems to potty training, he is not the most consistent...he has peed on our suede sofas twice. He starts playing really hard and forgets where he is supposed to go...there isn't any signal, just release! My husband is convinced that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Though, he is good when he is kept on his schedule and we predict he may need to go after playing. He is our clown and has such a sweet personality that everyone adores!
I use to work at a daschund kennel in high school...a couple that breed and showed standard daschunds, wire-haired, smooth and long coats. They had about 40 dogs and they were such sweeties.
We have to get some pics scanned of our babies, so we can show them off online! Anyone here have pics of their babes?
