Bugg Dog

The Bugg is an absolute bundle of cuteness all because of its flat and squashed face and sparkling eyes loaded with curiosity and kindness. These happy-go-lucky dogs are an immense joy to have in every family.

However owning a Bugg dog means a degree more of a responsibility in keeping them fit and healthy. They are an outcome of two brachycephalic-faced dogs, more prone to breathing difficulties especially if over exercised or exposed to excessive cold conditions.
