We have 2 dogs. 1 is a Pug and the other is an Aussie mix. The Pug has to be groomed. Whoever it was that said all short haired dogs didn't need to be groomed had obviously never owned a Pug! We have tried brushing our Pug daily and grooming her at home, but if we don't take her to a groomer her hair just starts clumping up and falling out. We have hardwood floors in our home and it seems as if I vacuum up an entire dog every single day. I've had her for over 12 years now, so you'd think I'd be used to it! Pugs are a wonderful breed, but I don't know that I'll ever own another one, specifically because of the hair.
Anyhoo...we take her to Petsmart and they bathe in special shedding shampoo, Dremel her nails, express anal glands, clean ears and blow dry for $40. We take her every month.
