Welcome to PugsCom - Home of Pug Dog and Pug Puppy Information
The PugsCom site is dedicated to providing honest, factual information about Pugs. Some people call them pug dogs, and others chinese pugs. We DO NOT provide puppy or breeder referrals but we DO provide information, whether it's pug puppy information, adult pug information, pug breed information and maybe even just a little bit more information about the pug dog. In the case of pug mixes - bugs, chugs, puggles, etc. - we have a section just for you to learn about the pug portion of your dog! But there are no dogs for sale on this site.
Finding pug information: First you'll want to register with the site. It's FREE! If you're not a registered member, then you won't see the sections or links for Content articles, or the Pug Discussion Forum or the Pug Picture Gallery. That said, the CONTENT link in the About Pugs section, on the Navigation Menu, is a great place to start your search for Pug information. You could also try the PUG FAQ file. Our discussion forum is the heart of the site, with topics about all aspects of the pug breed. We're happy to have you chat about your dog all the time. Use the search box on the right hand menu called, "Search Our Site" which searches everything except the interactive forum, which has it's own independent search.
Your FREE registration gives you access to so much information about pugs, and does not obligate you to anything. We have a newsletter for information in general, and a mailing list that is ONLY for site updates information. We don't sell or lease our membership or mailing lists, and we try very hard to disallow the automatic robots and harvesters that attempt to take them from the messages or comments on the site. We DO NOT allow account signups from free accounts like gmail, hotmail, live and yahoo due to security issues for this site. Read more about why here.
We hope you enjoy learning about pugs and sharing your experiences with your pug puppy, pug adult, or pug senior with us!

Pug Health Survey |
|
 The PugCentral web site -- http://www.pugcentral.com -- has recently been revised and updated. On the site is a NEW Pug Health Survey. This follows up on their original survey from over ten years ago. Survey results are anonymous, and the results will eventually be posted for comparison. If you are a pug owner and want to participate, visit PugCentral and add your information to the survey.

It's New, It's Different, It's FAST |
|
 Yes, this is PugsCom - but it looks DIFFERENT! We moved servers, we updated software, and we are slowly getting back to everything running smoothly. Things work pretty much like they did, but probably 200% faster than before.
Once we get the kinks ironed out, we'll be going back and fixing some formatting, adjusting some of the categories, and then we have LOTS of new information to add based on what you, the members and guests have asked for over the years.
We hope you like the new look, and the new speed. We'll be getting some old favorites back up and available soon, for those who prefer more colorful sites.
Thanks for your patience, come on in, poke around, set a spell and join us as we talk about what has to be the most expressive face in the canine world: that of the Pug!

Let Sleeping Pugs . . . |

| Here's something we'd like to learn more about - where does your Pug sleep? Is he stuck to you, some other family member, or independent of anyone? We all know Pugs rule the house, so tell us where they rule the night!

YOU CAN HELP: Purdue Univ. Studies Vaccine Reactions |
|
 Dr. George Moore at Purdue University is studying reaction to vaccines in a group of breeds. Dr. Moore needs blood samples collected within 3 weeks of a vaccine from Pugs who have no reaction, as well as from
Pugs that have a reaction consisting of facial or eyelid swelling, hives, generalized itching or vomiting. There are 7 known-reactor breeds included in the study, including Pugs, Dachshunds, Boston Terriers, Miniature Pinschers, Chihuahuas, Australian Terriers and Kerry Blue Terriers.
See this link in our forums for full details. (Sorry, you must be a registered member to view the message. Registration is free!)

New Pug Diet Survey |
|
| We'd like to know - in general - what you feed your Pug. Do you just feed kibble? Do you feed a BARF (Bones and Raw Food) diet? Do you feed a combination of these? We are NOT interested in the name of the food you feed, just what you feed in general. Take the time to tell us about your pug's diet!

Curly Tail Survey |
|
| We want to know what your Pug's tail is like - does it curl in a double curl, a curl-and-a-half, just one tight curl or maybe one big loop? Give us your information about your puggy tail! The diversity of the pugs on this site always fascinates us, and here's another way to show how we're all alike, and yet all different too! So be sure to tell us about your Pug Tail!

Christmas Wishes |
|
 From all of us here at PugsCom. We reprint this article whose author is unknown, but who expresses so well what we all feel.
On Christmas morning, I wish ...
For every dog searching trash cans for breakfast ...
A filled bowl with his name printed in bright letters.
For every dog who slept fitfully last night, chained in a frozen yard ...
A soft, warm bed with a person snoring gently nearby.
For every shelter dog, spending Christmas morning in a soiled run ...
A forever home, filled with sounds and smells of family.
For every " Christmas" puppy given today ...
A tolerant, caring owner who won't abandon you as you grow into a real dog.
For every ailing pet ...
Enough money for your owner to pay the bills to make you well.
For every lost dog ...
A clear, safe road, and well-marked path, to lead you home.
For every old and tired friend ...
A warm fire, and a soft bed, to ease your aches and pains.
and...for every Heart Dog at the Bridge ...
A moment when you know that you are remembered today, missed again, and loved forever.
