Maintenance


The maintenance of your dog would totally depend upon the parental genes which they acquire as the Pug has a small coat whereas the Scottish Terrier has a wiry coat with a soft undercoat. So if the genes are more of the Pug then you would have to brush only once or maybe maximum twice a week, however, if the genes are of the Scottish Terrier, then the coat would require to be brushed at least four to five times in a week. Frequent bathing and using of even a mild shampoo would result in dry skin.

Ideal Environment


The ideal activity time for the Pugottie is at least 30 to 40 minutes daily. This activity time can be in the form of walks, a trip to the dog park and even activities in the yard. If enough activity time is not given to them daily, they can develop behavioral issues such as excessive barking and chewing household things. So it is advised to take them for at least two walks in a day and also give them around 30 minutes of playtime in the yard. The walks would help them to socialize with the other dogs as well.
