If you find yourself drawn to the allure of a long haired pug, you’re in the right place.
Perhaps you are wondering what sets these captivating pups apart from their short-haired counterparts.
As a seasoned pug enthusiast, I am delighted to share with you all that I know about the unique long haired pug dog.
Long haired pug breed
Pugs, are well known for their short , smooth and fine coat. However, some pugs can have slightly longer coat than others.
While long haired pugs aren’t an official breed, they have a soft and somewhat fluffy coat which makes them stand out from other pugs.
Major kennel clubs like the American Kennel Club (AKC) or The Kennel Club (UK) do not classify these pugs as a separate breed.
These pugs typically have the same playful, affectionate and sociable temperament as their short haired counterparts.
While pug with long hair require some extra grooming to keep their fur clean and tangle free, many pug lovers are ready to do this extra effort for their unique furry companion.
Apart from this, long haired pugs generally have the same health issues as short haired pugs .
These may include brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), which can cause breathing difficulties, joint problems like hip dysplasia, and eye issues such as dry eye.
Long hair pug owners should be aware of these concerns and take preventive measures and proper care for the pug to live a happy ad healthy life.

Also, a pug that is mixed with another breed like Pomeranian or Pekinese can have a longer coat.
The long haired pug puppy is not considered pure bred and not officially recognized by kennel clubs.

Regular brushing and occasional baths will help prevent matting and keep the fur soft and shiny of the long hair pug.
