| pug advice: A Pug's Guide to Etiquette Gemma Correll, 2013-02-14 This manual is an essential item for any pug aspiring to be a sophisticated, civilized citizen. Pugs play by their own set of rules. When you want them to sit, they stand; when you want them to stay, they go; and when you want them to stop eating that unidentified item on the floor, well... Traditional schools of canine thought put this behavior down to a stubborn refusal to be trained that's inherent in the bred. Not so. This behaviour is, in fact, down to an ancient set of rules, passed down from pug generation to pug generation. A Pug's Guide to Etiquette attempts to explain these rules, thereby advancing pug-human relations to hitherto unprecedented heights. |

| pug advice: A New Owner's Guide to Pugs Kati B., 2012-03-12 ABOUT THE BOOK There is something very distinctive about pugs. The toy dogs have wrinkled faces and curly tails, as well as a pudgy build. Their glossy coat and square shape make them appealing as friendly and non-threatening dogs. It isn't just their looks that make them so unique, though - they have big personalities inside those small bodies! EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Entropion is caused by pugs' eyelashes irritating the eyeball. It is usually easy to treat by a veterinarian, but left untreated can cause inflammation or more serious problems. Bilateral cataracts are dense spots on the eyeball. These spots can cause blindness. In some cases, surgery can help to fix the cataracts or prevent further blindness. Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a common condition in various dog breeds. It is caused by a deterioration of the vessels around the retina, which can cause blindness. The first symptom is usually night blindness, followed by deteriorating day blindness. Hip dysplasia is also relatively common in the breed and is usually caused by abnormal joint development. It can cause severe stiffness in the joints, along with significant pain. It is usually noticed when the pug begins to go lame, caused by his body producing bone spurs, which are intended to stabilize the joint. Elongated soft palate is one of the well-known pug health problems. It is the obstruction of airways, which leads to excessive gasping for air and in some cases, the blocking of vocal cords. It can be corrected with surgery in most cases... Buy a copy to keep reading!

| pug advice: From a Wilderness James Cary, 2008-03 Birth of a nation. Growth of a nation. From a Wilderness is an anthology of four adventure novels rooted in a carefully researched history of the times. The first story begins at Jamestown as a man named Jonathan Strong watches with fascination as a cartwheeling Pocahontas leads a troop of English boys gleefully imitating her. In the second story, the setting shifts from Virginia to another place where newly arrived Europeans struggled against unforgiving terrain: the New England of the Puritans. It draws up a vivid reminder of the imprint that the Puritans stamped onto the American character. Next is an unexpectedly fascinating story that traces the profound influence of Adam Smith's role in molding the American economy and its values. And finally, the fourth novel is the story of the greatest real estate transaction in history, the Louisiana Purchase, told through the lives of two brothers whose clash could decide the fate of the young United States of America. For lovers of history, From a Wilderness will be an irresistible delight, a carefully researched saga that gives detail and color to the defining moments of a nation coming to be. For anyone who loves a great story, these four tales bring you into the world of man against environment, life in the frontier, noblemen, savages, intrepid explorers, braggarts, liars, cowards, cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, and a whole passel of ordinary guys. |

| pug advice: Meet the Bulldog American Kennel Club, 2012-04-10 The American Kennel Club's Meet the Bulldog an official publication of the American Kennel Club (AKC) in collaboration with the Bulldog Club of America, serves as the recommended resource for new and experienced owners of this one-of-a-kind companion dog. With his characteristic flattened muzzle, large head, and low-slung body, the unmistakable Bulldog has a limitless fan base in the United States and around the world. Illustrated with color photography throughout, Meet the Bulldog begins with a discussion about the responsibility of owning the Bulldog and its special traits and challenges. Equally important is the selection of the right breeder, a topic covered in a chapter that includes a list of questions to ask the breeder and the answers new owners are looking for. The book addresses the health of the Bulldog and alerts new owners to potential problems in the breed. The chapter on health discusses the importance of finding the right veterinarian for this breed as well as how to embark on a preventive-healthcare regimen with your vet. New owners will profit from the chapters dedicated to selecting the right merchandise for a new puppy and how to make the house and yard safe for the curious Bulldog puppy. House-training and obedience training are presented in individual chapters, and the AKC's stance on positive training methods shines through as owners are enlightened to the power of praise and rewards. The book doesn't stint on information about grooming, exercise, dental health, and feeding, all vital topics for the dog owner. The final chapter includes various ways to get your Bulldog involved in dog sports and the community—from participating in AKC dog shows to becoming certified as a therapy dog and visiting nursing homes and retirement homes with your people-loving Bulldog. The chapters also offer advice on how to pursue the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and the Canine Good Citizen programs, both ideal for young dogs getting their start in organized dog events and therapy. The Resources section of the book includes excellent recommendations for websites, periodicals, books, and programs that owners will find informative and helpful. |

| pug advice: The Ugly Pugling Nancy Levine, 2018-01-16 Wilson the Pug, everyone’s favorite canine Taoist, has fallen in love. His soul mate, Hedy, with her wrinkly skin and floppy ears, is a real looker. But the lovable dog Wilson thinks is a fellow pug is actually a mastiff puppy, and in no time at all the difference between the two dogs become comically obvious.

Things look bleak for the star-crossed lovers, but once again, the wisdom of the Tao comes shining through: “The Master acts on what he feels and not what he sees.” Wilson and Hedy couldn’t appear more different, but as we all know, it’s what’s inside that really counts.

| pug advice: Dog's Best Friend Simon Garfield, 2020-11-17 “A fascinating, informative and highly entertaining expedition through the highways and byways of dogdom.” —John Bradshaw, New York Times bestselling author of Dog Sense A charming meditation on the relationship between humans and dogs, drawing upon history, science, art, and personal experience to illuminate a magical bond that has endured millennia—from the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. “Ludo is now an elderly gentleman, and we would do almost anything to ensure his continued happiness. We schedule our days around his needs—his mealtimes, his walks, the delivery of his life-saving medication (he has epilepsy, poor love). We spend a bizarrely large amount of our disposable income on him, and he never sends a card of thanks. When he’s not with us for a few days, the house feels extraordinarily empty. I feel so fortunate to know him.” Ludo is a dog—Simon Garfield’s beloved black Labrador retriever, one of millions of canines who have become integral parts of our lives. But how did the dog become top dog? How did these faithful animals come to assist us not only in hunting, but in bomb disposal and cancer detection—and ultimately become our closest companions? Dog’s Best Friend examines how this bond developed over the centuries, and how it has transformed countless lives, both human and canine. Garfield begins with the earliest visual representations—dogs depicted in ancient rock art—and ends at the laboratory that first sequenced the canine genome. Along the way, we meet the legendary Corgis of Buckingham Palace, the dogs of the Soviet space program, the world’s first labradoodle, and a border collie that can identify more than a thousand different plush toys. Garfield reveals the secrets of the world’s best dog trainers, takes us inside the wild world of dog breeding and dog shows, and unearths the deep psychological roots of the human-dog link. And Ludo pops his snout in from time to time as well. A celebration of this deep interspecies connection, delivered with Simon Garfield’s inimitable wit, Dog’s Best Friend offers delights and insights for anyone who has ever loved a dog. |
