Tibetan Pug Activity Requirements
Tibetan Pugs are a fairly new hybrid dog that was developed in the United States. They are a cross between a pug and a Lhasa Apso. These dogs are friendly and loyal, but they tend to be fairly low energy. While they are not as high-energy as other dogs, they do still need to get regular exercise. A daily walk or short play session is usually sufficient. If your Tibetan Pug gets enough exercise and attention, they will enjoy being indoors with you. While they are good indoor dogs, they do enjoy time outside. A fenced yard or a nearby park will give your Tibetan Pug the space they need for running around and getting some natural sunlight.
