Pugs are common house pets all around the world. A flat, round face filled with wrinkles, characterizes this small and sturdy dog. The Pug has a short but stocky body, and a tail that is tightly curled over its hip. Since these animals have a very sociable nature and are friendly with kids, they tend to make excellent house pets.

The origin of the Pug can be traced back to China in around 700 BC. These dogs were primarily bred as household companions and not guardians. Soon, they spread to Europe and America, where they became extremely popular house pets. Even today, this breed is a favorite among dog lovers, especially those who want an average sized toy dog.

Pug puppies, like most other breeds, are very cute and adorable. Born in a litter of 2 to 5 pups, they are a little bigger than a large mouse. As Pugs are a popular breed, Pug breeding is a very lucrative business. Several people and kennel clubs offer Pug puppies for sale. Normally, puppies are put on sale about 2 months after birth, as these first months are crucial for the early development of the pup and they must stay with their mothers. Once the pup is beyond 5 to 6 months of age, it becomes hard for it to adapt to a new environment. The period between the age of 2 and 4 months is the perfect time to give a Pug pup a new home. Pug puppies need a lot of attention. Constant exercise, brushing, and bathing are a few activities that need to be undertaken on a regular basis.

Pug puppies for sale may be champion breeds or normal pet breeds. Those coming from a champion, pedigree bloodline, usually fetch a higher price. Pug puppies might start from about $450 and go up to over $1000, depending on the stock they are bred from.

While buying a Pug pup, it is essential to confirm from the kennel that the necessary vaccines have been given and that de-worming has been done. Those going in for a Pug must make sure they give the pup all the love and attention it needs for a happy life ahead.
