History:
Buggs are a hybrid of the Pug and Boston Terrier. They were bred to get
the loving qualities out of both breeds without as many nasal problems.
Temperament:
Boston: A fairly easy dog to care for, the Boston Terrier is an active, loving
pet. They are definitely house dogs and cannot stand extreme heat
or cold. Boston Terriers are eager to please which makes training easy.
Pug: Pugs have a wonderful sense of humor to go along with their comical
appearance. They are show-offs and will do just about anything for
attention. They will readily accept strangers and do not make good watch
or guard dogs. They will play with children and other animals but should
not be subjected to heavy exercise. They are very sensitive to heat and
should never be left outdoors in warm weather.
Maintenance:
Boston: They should get plenty of exercise and attention daily. A quick massage
with a rubber curry comb once a week will keep their coat in good shape.
Pug: They shed quite a bit even though their coats are short. The folds of
skin in their face should be cleaned regularly to avoid infection.
