No, Pugs are not pugnacious or quarrelsome, but they are strong willed, so a little ingenuity is needed when training one. Interestingly, they are also quite tolerant and very charming little dogs.
Their lineage is ancient which means their breed must have been very popular throughout the ages to have survived this long.

Summer Travel With Your Dog
Don't leave Rover at home when you travel - take him along if you love-a him! What I mean to say is, that hotels, restaurants and parks are much more accessible to pets these days. In fact, they darn near roll out the red carpet for them.
Hotels in particulare are catering to dogs more than ever. Quite often your pet will get his own special bed and find a welcome doggie bag awaiting him, with all kinds of goodies inside. Very often, the best places offer outdoor play areas, dog sitters, dog walkers and even doggie day care.
The list goes on - it's wonderful that our pets are now so popular. Online reservations make it easy to find dog friendly accomodations to fit any budget. Even without the frills, it's generally cheaper than boarding and much more fun for your pet IMHO!

A Sad Ending for Oprah's Dog
Oprah Winfrey recently lost her 2-yr old Golden Retriever under sad circumstances.
It appears he was playing with a dog toy belonging to one of her smaller dogs and choked on it. Unfortunately, no one was able to save the dog.
We know from personal experience how hard it is to lose a beloved dog under normal circumstances, but this is an especially heartbreaking way to lose a pet. Our sympathies goes out to Oprah.
Golden Retrievers are wonderful dogs and one of the most popular family companions.

A Glimpse Of The Irish Setter
An Irish Setter is a beautiful dog to behold with a gleaming set of tresses some of us would die for. This breed has a history in hunting circles and has curled up in the White House with a couple of former presidents.
He is a fun loving dog and a great family pet. Plenty of exercise is the main thing to consider when thinking about an Irish Setter - he needs a lot of it! A big play area is a real plus in addition to being taken out for long walks. Sometimes these dogs end up in rescue shelters and IMHO I think one of the more likely reasons for this is that owners didn't fully appreciate the importance of exercise for the breed.

Mary Had A Little Lamb?
Did Mary really have a little lamb or was it a Bedlington Terrier?
This adorable dog has such a strong resemblance to a lamb, you have to look twice to verify what you are seeing. But when it comes to personality, this dog is far from lamb-like, being very true to the terrier assertiveness trademark.

Dog-to-Dog friendship
The interest expressed by dog lovers in connecting with other dog lovers for dating and friendship, has driven the popularity of
online dating sites for this special interest group. It's a fact that avid pet lovers always want
their dates to like pets - it can sometimes make or break a relationship if they don't.
Now it seems this idea has gone a step further with the advent of a dog-to-dog website where Rover can go (with a little help from you) to select his/her very own canine friend!
What a real pleasure it is to hear about such innocent fun making the news and a welcome break from the usual doom and gloom, IMHO.
