Do pugs breed well and if so how many puppies are expected in one litter?

Well the dogs will breed but small dogs tend to have more birthing complications so if you breed one make sure you know what's supposed to happen so you know to call the vet if an abnormality occurs. Litter expectancy is 2-5 pups.

I agree with the above answer, though I'd say 2 puuppies would be a very small litter; 4-5 is probably average but up to 7 or 8 is possible. Not every pug is breeding quality, though - there are some genetic defects common in the breed you should be aware of.

I agree with both of the above answers. You should definatly talk to your vet and other Pug breeders and get some good advice. Research is the only way to go and always expect the unexpected. Pugs are "known" for their breeding complications a times so absolutly inform yourself! GOOD LUCK!!

Pugs are great dogs. I have had 7 litters and not one complication. My biggest litter was 9 puppies then 8 puppies then 6 then two litters of 5. You should contact your vet about when to breed and get them checked for any problems. Good luck.

Well, they breed rather well if you know what i mean.  Usually doggy style.  You can expect about 27 puppies a litter.  Usually there are 17-20 with vaginas, the others have penises.

My pug is expecting her first litter. We took her to the vet yesterday and we were told that she has 6 puppies maybe more. How will i know if she is too small to deliver them?

Well the vet should have looked at the puppies in comparison to the birth canal, but if you vet didn't say anything then she should have a normal delivery, but make sure to have your vets number on hand while she is delivering, just in case. Make sure you are there when she is breeding. For anymore questions email me at rachieroo22@hotmail.com

I have a male pug that is 14 months old.  I have not had him neutered because I would love to breed him.  Any suggestions or thoughts on breeding quality would be helpful.  He has awesome curl of his tail and his build is perfect.  Any other things I need to consider?

Hello, My pug is prego. I am very excited as this was unexpected. I took her to a stud and was told they didn't "hook up" Guess she was wrong. Anyhow, What are the warning signs of beginning labor? She had some mucus discharge last week and then some this morning. I have been by her side since the vet visit to find out she is pregnant. I have all supplies needed . I am to understand that I will need to assist her with the birth. I have our vets number on hand (just in case) I am nerves because I haven't done this before and neither has she. I love her dearly and don't want anything to happen to her or the pups. Any info would be greatly helpful.
Thanks

Hello All,

Well, Let me first state that I am the proud poppa of 6 adorable pups that were just born today.  It was a rather lengthy ordeal that lasted all through the night, but they are beautiful.  This was our first litter and it was very tiring for Athena and us.  Good luck to those expecting parents out there.

I just took my pug to the vet for an x-ray and they told me there was only one puppy. Since I was concerned about it being a false pregancy , I guess having only one but better than none. So I cant say I am too disapointed. Today was her due date, I have heard about all the signs to show she is getting close, she is doing all of them except for the dropped temp. Should I be worried?

I was wondering if you can still breed a full breed pug and charge pretty highly for the pups. I bought my unregistered pug for $375.00 he is a male. I would like to get him registered with someone other than the AKC because he is not registered and cannot be registered with them. Does anyone also know of other registering companies I can use for a fee to start keeping track of his blooodlines???

My pug just had a litter of 6.  she gave no sign of labor (I have seen many puppy labor/deliveries so I know what to look for) and she had absolutely no complications.  She must have started after 11 pm, as that was when I last checked on her, she was sleeping.  then when I woke at 4 am to use the bathroom the puppies were all born and feeding.  For some this is not the norm, but I have only experienced positive labors/deliveries.  Also, this must not have been too complicated for her as I have a baby monitor for her and she didn't make a noise!
