Introduction

Jugs are designer dogs and a crossbreed of the Pug and the Jack Russell Terrier. Small and compact, they work well for families with older children living in small houses or flats. Whilst relatively new, the Jug has fast become a popular dog both in its home country of the USA and in the United Kingdom.

History

The first Jug was born in the United States in the 1960s. They proved to be a trendy breed in both the US and the UK. Due to the breeds the Jug originates from, there are ongoing efforts to keep the breed going whilst reducing the health issues inherited by it's Pug and Jack Russell Terrier ancestors.

Personality

The Jug is known for being feisty, social, fun-loving, active, and stubborn, although the exact mix of traits is hard to identify due to their crossbreed nature. Owners need to be aware of the difference between aggression and playfulness when handling these dogs. They are also an intelligent breed and so lots of exercise and mental stimulation is required to keep them happy and healthy. That being said, Jugs are also known to be very food motivated, which is excellent for training, however, they can become obese if this is not kept in check. If Jugs aren't socialised well to lots of different situations from a young age, they can exhibit symptoms of aggression. Jugs make good family pets but should be placed in a home with older children as they may not get on with younger children.
