Which breed


My lifestyle. I live in a house. I go to school and work 2 jobs. But I'm at home a good amount of times.

I'm a energetic athletic guy at times so I would have no problem with running or playing with the dog


Which breed do you think is possibly better? I heard taking care of a pug is hard work


Ps. Which one do you think a girl would like more? Lol

My family has had 3 pugs so far, and 2 currently. They're not really any harder to take care of than any other dog. Might need to clean out their wrinkles every so often.

I just looked them up and I mistook them for pit bulls. Rottweilers seem OK.

For a pug, all I know is that you need two of them atleast to keep each other company. But if you are at home alot, you probably don't need to do that, since you can stay with them. But if you are at work for a long time, then a second dog is needed if you don't want your pupper to be depressed. So i've read.

Pitties get a bad rep from people who make them mean. They can be just as sweet and gentle as any other dog with the right care and treatment, just like any dog can become a mean bastard with poor treatment.

They're adorable. They're not too energetic like some breeds, but they also like to run and play. The only thing is, they're a little loud and don't like to be pinned up all the time, but it's the same with a Rottweiler.

Are you a pug owner? I'm not, I just know of a person who is and have read about how they get lonely. And the person I know has only one and seems be a little sad now.

I did a little more reading and learned that rottweilers can be aggressive too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rottweiler#Temperament

also they are commonly used as police and guard dogs so yeah. I'd go with a pug out of those two.

Lol, no way. Well, ours aren't. They like being outside and taking walks, but they don't run constantly.

what made you decide between a pug and a rottweiler?


they're like two completely different ends of the spectrum

and if you're renting your home, the latter might not even be legal in your area, or might come with extra taxes or fees or something like that


do more research and don't choose dogs just based off of their looks

How do you go to school, work two jobs, and are at home "a good amount of times" wtf ever that means.
If you're not at home and awake/available for at least 6-8 hours a day, you don't need a dog, it's a recipe for disaster.
I actually quit my last job because it kept me away from home so much. I expressed my concerns and their response was "get rid of the dog then". Yah fuck you I quit lol
