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 Chesapeake Bay Retriever
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a strong American waterfowl retriever with a muscular build and oily, wavy brown double coat for cold waters. Loyal and reserved, it bonds closely with family, needs firm, fair training, and high daily exercise, and is generally robust but prone to joint and eye issues.
