Doc, we have had a Jack Russel for 3 years now, he is about 8 years old & has been the most perfect dog anyone could ever hope to get. Anyways my wife just picked up a 2 year old Pug from a lady at her work, basically she can't afford the dog & her kid on a crummy walmart salary.

I know nothing about Pugs but my wife has said for years she wanted one & nowe I guess we have one. He seems like a cool little dog but dumb as a rock, doesn't respond to his name, won't sit, etc etc so some training is in order. We have to take him in for shots & a checkup because this girl has no paperwork at all, she only had the dog a month. Supposedly he is a purebred & was used for breeding by his 1st owner but we have nothing to prove that & really don't care. he isn't neutered but will be.

Questions I have are, is there any age limit on getting a dog neutered? Do pugs typically make good pets around children? We only have our grandchildren & they aren't here all that much anymore. Lastly & this may sound stupid but I haven't heard the dog bark, are pugs as a breed relatively quiet? My Jack is a very quiet dog & that's one of the things I love about him.


Thanks.
