Pug
The largest of all toy breeds, the short, stocky Pug is a small sized dog with a height ranging from 10 - 11 inches and a weight ranging from 14 - 18 pounds. It strongly resembles the marmoset pug monkey with its large, round head and wrinkled brow -- bearing a short, wide, undershot muzzle. The black mask and ears give the Pug its distinctive look. Eyes are large and set apart, and ears are thin and rose or button-like. Pug tails are curled. The short, single coat is smooth with silver, apricot, fawn, or black hair.
The best owner for this type of dog is one who lives in an apartment. Children should be monitored to ensure gentle handling of fragile, Pug puppies.
