A Jug dog at home means a pet with a varied and versatile temperament. You could observe in it the Pug’s sweet-tempered and mellowed nature. On the contrary, it could even be bundled with energy like the Jack Russell Terrier and emerge as great chasers with a strong hunting instinct.
Appearance-wise too, it is a replica of both its parents. However, its nose is way too longer than the Pug, perhaps the outcome of a conscious attempt to lessen breathing distress.
