help me decide, a relative is giving me an option either to give me a pug or a shitzu.
Both are house dogs but don't know much about thier behavior and temparament specially with children

wish I could, our place is small, so big dogs could hardly have enough room to run around.
Besides, my wife wants something that she could carry around, not something that can carry her. :)

Pugs are way cool. Shitsu's double as a handy dust-mop should your main one become misplaced, though.

1. Remove broomhead from pole
2. Duct tape Shitsu to end of pole
3. Revel in the utilization of your new dust mop

Get the pug, they are wonderful dogs, and are well mannered. shih-tsus HATE kids. They are some of the most violent dogs, although they are some of the most loyal too. Though small, they will fight to the death with something 10x their size if their owner is in danger.

I think it was called a bullsh|t.

ba-dum-ch!


Shih-tsus are annoying little buggers and hard to keep clean. My g/f has one.

Pugs are kind of temperamental IIRC.

Look into getting a Boston Terrier. I love those.

If you can't get a real dog, Pugs are one of the best small dogs. My Aunt has one and it is very cool.

Pugs are great dogs, not the least bit pugnacious ;)

Just be very careful with them in hot weather because their facial structure makes them extremely susceptible to overheating (no snout). A lot of pugs have died in hot cars after having been left for only a few minutes.

Very loyal, loving dogs. They'll lick you to death.

get the shih-tsu so you can kick it over the fence and let the bad a$$ rotweiler on the other side tear the crap out of it

Go to the pound a find a little mutt.

I hate all those smashed face dogs. None of them can breath right and pugs fart ALOT.
