Q: Question i was thinking about breeding my teacup pug with anouther teacup pug is this a good idea? -
A: It depends on how small your teacup pug is *snort* If it is just small, then it should be okay, but if it is really tinym you run the risk of hurting her *snort* altered pugs will become pregnant with full size pups in most cases. *snort* the methods of creating a teacup does not change genetics

Q: How much should I pay for a champion pug's puppy ? -
A: depends what city you're buying in *snort* average should be about $1500-$2000 (I know My MaMa paid $1600 for me) for a true champion bloodline show quality pug from a reputable breeder *snort* if the ad says show or pet, not a show quality dog!!! If breeder selling a whole litter of "show" pups because the sire and dam are champions then most likely you won't get a champion. In each litter only one, maybe two dogs are of actual show quality *snort* be selective and expect to pay for it!

Q: What is a teacup pug? Is this a health problem dog? -
A: Teacups are pugs that have been bred to be tiny (under 17" and around 3-12 lbs) *snort* Remember that the diminutive size of Teacup Puppies have been achieved by selective breeding - and the price should not reflect a rare or special dog. They are not akc registered and any papers would be fraudelant. Mini-pugs are produced by not de-worming puppies and pregnant mama pugs, stunting the growth of puppies due to malnutrition and other horrible means. At times, a "mini" oe "teacup" pug may become pregnant witha full size pug, killing both mama and babies. *snort* teacup animals are awful and no animal should be an accessory. *snort* on the other hand if you get one, love it, and adore it and be prepared for health problems.

Q: Question Do pugs prefer to live with at least one other pug? I've heard that they are most content when they have a pug companion (or more than one pug companion) -

Q: our pug has very bad body order. we bathe her regulary cleaning her ears and folds. Nothing helps do you have any suggestions? -
A: *snort* are you bathing her too much? *schnurfle* bathing too much causes dry skin and removes essential oils and then they lick, both are stinky *snort* Also, pet store shampoos can cause the stinky *snort* try more natural shampoos, and always condition. My favorite is Lavender Buddy Wash If its the ears, you may need some medicated wash adn some ottomax to get rid of the infection..*snort* keep me updated

Q: Having any animal in captivity is wrong, but it's too late for dogs and cats because we domesticated them. we have to take care of them now that they can't survive on their own, right Chewie ? -
