Pugador Activity Requirements

Pugadors are small, muscular dogs that are often described as having “the body of a bull and the face of a teddy bear.” They are a fun-loving, playful little dog that enjoys being around people. A daily walk is the best way to keep your Pugador happy and healthy. They love to be outside and will enjoy a nice long hike. But make sure these walks are slow-paced, as over-exertion can be a problem for these short-legged guys. Keep in mind that Pugadogs can be difficult to housebreak. They enjoy lots of play time, so crate training is recommended. This can help to eliminate some bad behaviors that stem from boredom. If you are looking for a companion and playmate, a Pugadog may be the perfect dog for you. But keep in mind that they do require a lot of attention, especially while they are young.
