🐾 Breed guide
Pug
Pugs are small dogs with big personalities, and they have become incredibly popular in India, partly thanks to a famous advertisement campaign. Known as the "clowns of the dog world," Pugs are charming, playful, and love being the centre of attention. They are perfect apartment dogs due to their small size and moderate exercise needs. Pugs are extremely affectionate and form strong bonds with their owners. However, their flat face (brachycephalic structure) requires special care, especially in India's hot and humid climate.
