Yeah Huskies are working dogs and pugs are lap dogs for sure . I think it ' s important to understand what the puppy you are buying will require as a lifestyle and for example I do not have the physicality or space to control or walk or house a husky , but a pug is perfect for me , small , only needs a short walk , but super affectionate and cuddly . There is a dark side to pug breeding and because they are worth a lot of money many people breed them carelessly and encourage genetic illness this way . There are pugs out there who have no history of genetic illness and their owners are really informed about things to watch out for to care for the little beasts , so it ' s a shame they have a bad rep overall .
