the question now is - when will I pick him up?

Your first born Congratulations (I am suspecting that will be the most spoiled dog around)

I already have a name for him.

What is his name?

Fountain? Pen?

TedWahler:

a picture sent by the breeder:

LOL, cute but with an attitude. (maybe like his owner?) hahahaha How big will he be full grown?

TedWahler: I have no idea but generally pugs are compact dogs - I dont expect him to take so much space but I'm sure he'll

demand much of my time.

Word of caution (remember I said it first) Dont pamper the little prince so much that he gets FAT and unhealthy. I have known some of those

I think thdy may be prone to that. Have you heard ?

TedWahler: I was advised to give him an hour's worth of wlk in the morning and in the evening.

That makes sense. A lot of the pathetically fat Pugs that I remember were the pets of the elderly or housebound and did not get exercise.

TedWahler: but since he's still a pup, 30 minutes will do on each walk.

I think there is also the issue of getting and maintaining strong foot pads.

His tiny legs can only move so fast, You will have to be patient with him. Leisurely.
