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 Field Spaniel
Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
