There are many ethical ways to find a Pug puppy for sale that does not involve the support of any system that is cruel to dogs, such as puppy mills. Do not buy puppies from pet stores or online puppy stores, as they support puppy mills, overseas travel of far too young puppies and other cruel practices.

Puppy mills also do not use vets, because that would eat into the profits. The parents of puppies in pet stores are not only frightened and miserable, but they are also very unhealthy. And sometimes, they are not even purebred. There is absolutely no way to prove that a pedigree is false. So you are getting a bad deal any way you look at it when you buy a puppy from a pet shop.

First off, ask anyone you can reasonably trust where they got their own Pugs. They will usually be able to refer you to a breeder or a Pug breed rescue group. If they say they got their Pugs from a pet store, don't lecture them. Just nod, thank them for the information and keep on with your Pug hunt.

If you do not know how to tell a healthy Pug puppy from a sickly Pug puppy, then you will not be able to pick a puppy well. Also, you often don't get any training support from one of these breeders.

You can find a Pug puppy for sale from classified ads in the local paper or Craigslist ads, but you need to be very careful. Most of these breeders really shouldn't be breeding anything, let alone Pugs. Never buy a puppy sight unseen. You need to visit the breeder's home or kennel first, and then the mother of the puppies. (The father is often not there, but be sure to meet him if he is there.)

Considering that Pugs are relatively calm, highly trainable dogs and you can teach an old Pug new trick finding a Pug puppy for sale seems to be the best choice. Although puppies are cute, they are also a lot of trouble. Even if you have your heart set on a Pug puppy, please consider the advantages of adopting an older Pug from your local animal shelter or from a Pug breed rescue. You will be saving a life, and the Pug will be partly trained already.

Pug breed rescues and your local animal shelter will sometimes have Pug puppies, but usually they will have adults. However, these adults will often be trained, already have their shots, won't surprise you with how big they get and will often be a lot calmer than a puppy.

A Pug rescue group will have you fill out an application, meet certain requirements and then wait. Older Pugs have the advantage of being trained, neutered and full grown, so please consider adopting an older Pug rather than a Pug puppy for sale.
