There are many ethical ways to find a Pug puppy for sale that does not involve the support of any system that is cruel to dogs, such as puppy mills. Do not buy puppies from pet stores or online puppy stores, as they support puppy mills, overseas travel of far too young puppies and other cruel practices. If you really want a Pug puppy, and want that puppy to be a good companion for you during the fifteen or so years of a Pug's life, then you need to use other ways of going on a Pug hunt. First off, ask anyone you can reasonably trust where they got their own Pugs. They will usually be able to refer you to a breeder or a Pug breed rescue group. If they say they got their Pugs from a pet store, don't lecture them. Just nod, thank them for the information and keep on with your Pug hunt. Other places you can visit can be local dog shows. They will often not have Pug puppies for sale at the show, but you get to meet and talk to many Pug breeders who will have puppies for sale in the future. The look and temperament of their Pugs will tell you a lot about the qualities of the breeder. You can also go to MeetUp.com and find a Pug meet-up group in your area to get recommendations. The nations' biggest Pug Meet-up is in Philadelphia. The best places to go to find a Pug puppy for sale is an American Kennel Club licensed Pug breeder or a Pug breed rescue. You can find a good Pug breeder from contacting the AKC, from attending a local dog show, from talking to friends and family who have Pugs, or from checking the Internet. A good Pug breeder doesn't ship a puppy and never has them for sale year round. You can also go online to find local Pug breeders in your area. Avoid any site that sells puppies all year round or offers to ship a young Pug puppy for sale anywhere in the country. They usually are fronts for puppy mills. However, there are many good breeders who also have websites. You can contact the AKC for information on any Pug breeders in your area. Only buy your Pug puppy supplies from pet shops that do not sell puppies. Some large chains have afternoon events when dogs from local shelters are brought in. They may have Pugs. If they don't, the odds are the volunteers and workers can put you in touch with the closest Pug breed rescue. Sometimes they do have puppies, usually over six months old. Although not really having Pug puppies for sale, the adoption fees are a few hundred dollars. This is to discourage the Pugs winding up in bad hands.
Facial Structure
When choosing a pug puppy you have to look for certain features in their faces. The first feature you need to look at is they're ears. They have to be small but not too small. If they are too small you can usually tell as their ears generally not suit their face. If they are too big then this is also a bad thing. Same with this you can usually tell just by looking at them. The second facial feature you need to look at when buying a pug puppy is their nose. The nose you will be looking for can't be pushed into the pup's face too much as this will result in certain breathing complications later on down the track. This usually reduces a pugs lifespan by 2-3 years in most cases. The last thing you need to look at is the amount of wrinkles on their face. In the case of show dogs, more is better, however the more wrinkles on a pugs face again usually promotes breathing complications in the future.
Personality Of Each Pug Puppy
This is perhaps the biggest area needed to be discussed when it comes to buying the right pug puppy. What makes a good personality for each individual case. Firstly if you are planning on showing your pug, you are best off looking for a puppy that is not to outrageous as this will mean he/she will be harder to train for the ring. Judges are looking for well behaved pugs that respond to human commands at will. A pug with a naturally outgoing personality will not be able to control itself in the ring. You are better off choosing a pup that is more willing to listen to you. For example when you ask it to come, it comes. Simple as that.
If however, you are not planning on showing your dog in the ring and you would like like to have a pug that is friendly and outgoing, then I would suggest looking for the puppies that are always full of energy. They may not listen to your every command, but I assure you they will be a lot of fun to play with. I would probably recommend this type of pug puppy for a family with younger children. They will have a great time growing up together playing in the backyard.
