June 8, 2008 at 9:51 PM #219786NotCrankyParticipantPugs really should not be raised in a hot dry place like temecula.They have a hard time cooling themselves off because their specific breeding makes it hard for them to pant normally(as a dog would).
I think this one is cuter and it doesn’t have any hair. It might even make a good watch dog?

Akula, I’m sorry to hear about your experience with the sleazy breeder. Can they be reported? I hope there is a way, a mark against their record so unsuspected buyers can be warned.
Honestly, getting one from a rescue center sounds like the right thing to do. My sister got her chocolate lab from one. Obie had trust and skin issues though. Early on after adopting him, since she was working during the day at that time, she left him at home during the day by himeself, when she came back a good deal of her house was torn up. Obie had had a tantrum/fit and slashed ALL the curtains in the house. Not only that, the dog had skin/allergy problems so she spent a good deal of money on vet bills/medication.
Another thing, due to the skin problems, if the dog wasn’t bathed, it smelled AWFUL! A lot of times my sister let Obie sleep in her bed with her and one time her whole room smelled. That day I almost threw up as I ran from her room. Even so, she loved the dog and had him about ten years before he died from cancer. I liked him too. Took me a while to warm up to him, but I liked him.
SD bear, I thought the chinese crested were ugly at first, and some of them are . If you look at pics of them, there appearance can vary wildly from dog to dog. However, the one I posted is CUTE. Can’t you just see her dressed up in a pink sweater with a ribbon in her hair? Haha! I’m such a girly girl, aren’t I? I’m sure the boys won’t let me do the bows or the pink sweater. Darn!
So, if I understand correctly with the crate training, it’s to let the dog know who’s boss and to learn boundaries.
If I get a dog now, I don’t want accidents, but of course, I KNOW that’s not realistic.
Thanks for the comments, guys and I’m enjoying the pics of your dogs.
Another question, don’t remember if I asked it in my last thread: Are there any pros to owning one gender over the other?
P.S. Very funny Rustico. π
