At one point my mom actually wanted to get a pug.

Dogs 101:

From what I have seen about this, although they are from an entirely different part of the world, the pug shares many similarities to the Bulldog and the Boxer. From what I have been researching, the Pug does not have any practical hunting or utilitarian roles in society, so they were mainly bred to entertain royalty. The dogs were also bred to have more of the facial wrinkles. Otherwise, the pug as a very adaptable leisure dog which will reflect what their owner's interests are, from lying around and doing nothing to exercise and outdoorsman ship.
