19 Reasons Why You Should Never Own Pugs

Published: Nov 30, 2018 · Modified: May 14, 2021 by Karen Flores · This post may contain affiliate links

If you are planning to adopt a puppy, get any breed EXCEPT Pugs. We think Pugs may very well be on the top list of the worst dogs ever.

This creature is a nightmare, they are terrifying, and we want to save you from making a horrific mistake.

To help you understand better, here are 29 reasons why you should never own such creatures.

#1 Firstly, Pugs are pretty much the criminal ringleaders of the dog world.

#2 They can often be spotted in scary gangs…

#3 That’s when they’re not at the playground, hogging the swings from children.

#4 Because, clearly, children and Pugs don’t mix.

#7 Did we mention that they’re practically narcoleptic?

#8 And they can’t even dance well.

#9 They’re always sticking out their tongues, especially when they’re out in public.

#10 And they’re CREEPS! They’re always spying on people and finding secret little places to observe what’s going on.

#11 Although sometimes they’re so independent it’s scary.
