It’s tough to be a pug. Incessant snoring, wrinkled face with bulging eyes and a short, stocky frame….. sounds like your perfect mate, right? These traits might seem unappealing when looking for someone to settle down with – but for a pug this makes them perfect in every way!
Pugs are great pets for families and single people; and due to their stature, require very little space making apartment living ideal, as long as you take them for a daily walk to maintain their muscular figure.
These charismatic companions thrive on human affection and are generally friendly towards all humans. Some might even say they lack judgement so probably not the best guard dog on the market. Although my pug will try and protect our place with her cute squeaky noise. She looks and sounds like a toy.
With pug dogs on trend right now the time was right to promote this quirky breed at A Pooch Affair on Saturday 18 July (tomorrow!). Pugs are invited to attend Pug Hour at 11am, exclusively for pug dogs, hosted by my own dog “Punky the Pug”.
Pug Hour gives pugs (and their like-minded owners) a chance to mix and mingle and make new friends. People who just like to watch pugs interact and giggle at their heavy breathing and inquisitive nature are invited to come along and watch them play.
General Manager of Territory Venues Liz Clarke says A Pooch Affair is all about diversity and appealing to a wide audience of dog owners.
“Pug Hour seemed like a great way to demonstrate a very sociable breed enjoying being dogs and playing together,” she says.
Pugs have been a highlight of the social media campaign in the lead up to A Pooch Affair and the images of pugs posted have attracted high attention and engagement.
