Our pug has a wonderful personality. He's in instigator with the big dogs, and then he'll run and hide once they are riled up. He sleeps a lot, you can't get him outside before 9 or 10am, but he's also very active while he's awake, he'll run and play. Definitely a lap dog- he doesn't lay on you but loves to lay next to you. Horrible shedder, even on a raw diet he sheds more than our other 2. You pick him up and you get little blonde pug hairs all over you. He is a complete fart factory though, and he has a habit of laying under my desk and emitting all kinds of toxins, until I shoo him away.
