Queensland Pug Dog Club

The Queensland Pug Dog Club was formed in late 2005 as an unaffiliated social club with the Canine Control Council of Queensland.

The aims of the Club are to provide fun social activities, information sharing and to foster a love and appreciation for the breed. Our main fundraising objective is to support Pug Rescue in rescuing and re-homing pugs in need.

The Club endeavours to provide its members with a network of like-minded Pug lovers as well as up to date veterinary information specific to the breeds needs.

Is a Pug the dog for you?

As wonderful as pugs are, however, they are not for everyone. Bred to be companion animals they do not do well when left alone without company. They also do best as inside dogs as their physical characteristics do not make them good at strenuous exercise or allow them to do well in extreme heat or cold. They are also known to shed, snort and snore excessively. The pugs bulging eyes also make them more vulnerable to injury than most and their wrinkles will need cleaning too.
