For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted a pug. I love the wrinkles on their face, there short stout bodies and the way they snort, grunt and snore when they sleep. But I was also concerned about the health problems they are prone to.

But when we were told about the shnug we thought; "what would they look like?" as a pug and a schnauzer are quite different looking. But when we went to see "Zoey", funny thing we didn't see any schnauzer in her at all. Her ears are a little longer then a pug. Her body is stout but her legs are a little longer then a Pug's. She snores and grunts like a pug but shnugs don't seem to have the asthma like symptoms because their nose are a little longer. They still have the curly tails and the long tongues.

Happy Birthday Zoey!!! We just celebrated Zoey's first Birthday May 15th 2007. She received a new bone and we sang Happy Birthday to her.

Zoey is still doing great she hasn't changed much gotten just a little bigger. You know how little dogs tend to be barkers just to bark not really for any reason. In Zoey's case I think its because she is still young and she will grow out of it. She doesn't bark a lot at home mostly when we take her out for walks etc. She sees a new person/dog she likes to be heard.

We started taking her to a "dog park" where they have 2 different sides one for big dogs and one for little dogs, the dogs just play get used to one another its a great place to let your dog interact with other dogs especially if you have only one dog in our case we have 1 dog and 2 cats, Zoey loves it. And she has gotten a lot better she can walk by people/dogs without barking and running up to them.

If you have something like it in your area I would recommend taking your dog it really makes a difference in your pet.

Pug Info:
It's believed the Pug's origin lies in China, some 700 years BC The Pug's forehead wrinkles resembled a "W" shape, which is also the Chinese character for "Prince."The development of the Pug as a breed is mystery and speculation but what is known is that the Pug became beloved companions of royalty. It is believed that the sailors from the Dutch East India Company were the first to bring the Pug to Holland. Pugs first came to America shortly after the American Civil War.
Pug's are known by many names- here are a few:
Ha Ba Gou (Old Chinese)
Mops Hond (Dutch)
Mops (Swedish)
Mops Hund (German)
Carlino (Italian)

Schnauzer Info:
The Standard Schnauzer goes back to the fifteenth century, they are considered a trusted family guard. As far as can be determined, the Schnauzer originated in the crossing of the black German Poodle and the gray wolf spitz upon wire-haired Pinscher stock. The word "Schnauzer" appeared in dog literature for the first time in 1842 when used as a synonym for the Wire-haired Pinscher. The first importation of the Standard Schnauzer into the US was around 1900. It was not until after the World War I that the breed was brought to the United States in any significant numbers. Popularity of the Standard Schnauzer grew steadily as is indicated by the number of dogs registered with the American Kennel Club.
