One of the oldest known breeds of
domesticated dog in the world, the Pug has long
been a favored pet of nobility and standing.
With his noticeably round head, double-curled
tail, and wrinkled face, he has charmed the
world for centuries and continues to do so.
While he may be built like a little bruiser, all
it takes is one look in those soft brown eyes to
tell you that this little guy is definitely a
lover, not a fighter. This charming
small dog breed
steals hearts wherever he goes.

Whether you call them Teacup Pugs,
Tea Cup Pugs,
Toy Pugs,
Miniature Pugs,
Mini Pugs or
Micro Mini
Pugs, buying the smallest Pug puppy you can
find is a sure recipe for a teacup full of heartache! Responsible
breeders occasionally will have a puppy that is smaller than its
littermates (it's what we once referred to as the "runt" of the
litter), but this is not always the best puppy in the litter - in
fact, quite often, quite the opposite is true. In many cases,
the runts are the weaker puppies and have a higher frequency of
health problems, when compared to their robust siblings. While
this does not mean runts cannot lead normal, healthy lives, careful
consideration should be given to purchasing a runt of any breed.
Any Pug breeder that selectively breeds to create a smaller and
smaller puppy is not a breeder with whom you want to do business.
The reason for this is that smaller puppies usually have a number of
health problems. They can suffer from Hypoglycemia (dangerously low
blood sugar), knee and hip problems, brain defects, kidney problems,
heart problems and more. What's more, these itty bitty dogs are as
delicate as flowers, and can easily be injured or killed by being
accidentally stepped on or kicked, or from something as seemingly
innocent as a fall off of the sofa or bed. Don't buy into this
unfortunate trend! Dogs are pets - not fashion accessories or toys.
Be sure to buy your Pug puppy only from a responsible,
reputable Pug breeder. Avoid any breeder who
advertises "Teacup, Miniature, Toy or Mini" Pug
puppies.
