A cross between a Pug and a Chinese Crested, this small breed can have several combinations of black, brown and white coloring. Weighing up to 18 pounds this affectionate, attention seeking dog can be a loyal companion for up to 14 years. The Chinese Crested derives from both the Hairless and the Powderpuff, therefore the Pugese fur can be a shorter single coat with exposed skin or a wooly longer double coat that will need constant grooming. Exposed skin needs special care like moisturizing, frequent bathing and sunblock when outdoors to prevent sunburn.

Pugese Pet Insurance
When adding a dog or cat to your family you want to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and protected. During its lifetime your pet is exposed to many illnesses and diseases and some breeds are affected by a congenital disease which is a condition existing at birth. At these moments when your pet is ill or maybe needs surgery, you want to be protected for the unexpected and high veterinarian costs.
