Summary
About Pug
Small, sturdy companion dog with wrinkled face, curled tail and expressive eyes, usually 6–8 kg and suited to city homes. Affectionate, people focused and playful, needs moderate gentle exercise, close family contact, careful weight control and extra management in hot weather due to its short nose.
About Belgian Griffon
Small, sturdy toy dog from Brussels with a humanlike “monkey face” and big eyes. Rough, wiry coat in black or black and tan. Deeply attached, sensitive, and people focused, they are lively, intelligent, alert watchdogs who thrive on gentle training, company, and regular grooming.
