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 Kuvasz
The Kuvasz is a large, ancient Hungarian livestock guardian with a white, weatherproof coat. Loyal and protective with family but reserved with strangers, it needs early socialisation, firm yet kind training, space, and experienced owners to manage its strong, independent nature.
