my boyfriend wants to get a pug but some people a few houses away from my parents have like 9 of them (I think they might be breeders) and they are so loud. I dont know if its because they just put them in the back yard half the day or what, but I dont want a dog that acts like them. They get out a lot too and just cause trouble. Thats the only pug experience I have though so if you think pugs are different than what I described please tell me. I really wouldnt be surprised if the ones near me were just acting that way because they're bored/ignored all day.
