Pug

One of the best family dogs, Pugs are ideal for small households and apartment dwellers. Even though pugs shed, the hair fall is quite low, making the dogs very easy to maintain. They don’t need to be bathed unless they get into some dirt or mess. Though they need regular trimming of nails, as long nails can cause uneasiness in them. Pugs come in colors like Black, Fawn, Apricot and Silver Fawn.
