The Bull-Pug is a smaller version of the English Bulldog displaying a cute and adorable look because of the wrinkled appearance it inherits from both its parents. They are calm and gentle, making for a beautiful family dog. At times, their stubborn nature could mar their otherwise pleasing personality but for sure may be corrected with early training.
They are perfect couch potatoes who would love lazing at home rather than running around in the yard. So remember to push them to exercise regularly to keep them physically and mentally fit.
