The Pug dog breed is considered sociable but stubborn. Nonetheless, Pugs generally like sitting in someone's lap. Pug dogs also generally require plenty of exercise, though they may overheat because of their short noses if not careful. The Pug breed is generally thought a good breed for families with children, though as with other small dog breeds, care should be taken with small children to avoid the animal getting hurt.
