Known for its signature smooshed face, the Pug is a calm yet sociable breed. These dogs love to play and have fun, and don’t mind the occasional mischievous act. They crave attention from their owners, and also love to take a good nap when needed. They are great for those who have smaller homes and like to participate in downtime and quieter activities. This breed only weighs between 14 and 18 lbs and has an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years.

The cost of a Pug varies greatly but you can typically expect to pay between $1,500 and $4,000, depending on factors such as breeder reputation and location, lineage of the puppy, and the color of the coat.
In general, Pugs make great house dogs! They are known for their friendly, loving nature and their ability to adapt well to various living situations. They often get along well with both adults and children, making them a wonderful addition to many families.
While not necessarily 'high maintenance', Pugs do require consistent care. Their distinctive face wrinkles need to be kept clean to avoid infection, and they're prone to obesity which means their diet and exercise should be carefully managed.
When it comes to difficulty, Pugs are neither too hard nor too easy. They are intelligent and eager to please, but can sometimes be stubborn, making training a bit of a challenge. However, with patience and positive reinforcement, you'll find that they're a joy to have around.
The average lifespan of a Pug is roughly between 12-15 years. But, with appropriate care, routine vet check-ups, and a healthy lifestyle, your Pug may live even longer!
The downsides of owning a Pug would include their potential health issues such as prone to obesity and breathlessness, their constant shedding, and their need for regular face cleaning due to their distinctive wrinkles. Also, they don't tolerate heat very well, so you'd need to keep them cool during hot weather.
Pug puppies tend to be more expensive due to their popularity and the costs associated with breeding them. They are a brachycephalic breed (meaning they have flat faces and short noses), which can lead to additional health problems and thus more vet visits and care from the breeders before the puppies can be sold.
