What Pugs are like to live with
The Pug is a companion dog. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as "a lot of dog in a small frame", and says Pugs "are affectionate, sociable dogs that thrive on human company and were bred purely as companions, not for work". It says traders from the Dutch East India Company are thought to have taken dogs of this type from China to the Netherlands in the 16th century, and that William of Orange's Pugs came with him when he took the English throne.

Where can I adopt a Pug in Chester?
With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Pugs on this page are with Freshfields Animal Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
Do Pugs have breathing problems?
Breathing is a recognised concern in the breed. The Royal Kennel Club asks Pug breeders to have their dogs' breathing graded for BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), and says the flat face limits a Pug's tolerance for heat and hard exercise. PDSA says snorts, snores and loud breathing can be a sign of BOAS and are worth a word with a vet. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had.
Can Pugs be left alone?
Not for long. The Royal Kennel Club says Pugs dislike being left alone for long periods and can be prone to separation anxiety, and PDSA says a Pug should never be left for longer than four hours. Ask the rescue how this dog copes on its own.
Are Pugs good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 1 Pug listed in and around Chester as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
