Do pugs make good watchdogs?
That all depends on what it is you want them to watch. Television, food, and chew toys are all good candidates. They will alert you to any odd noises, but they’ll be equally as enthusiastic about doorbells on the television and grocery bags left on the floor. They are attentive to the presence of strangers, but only because there is the potential that a stranger may be harboring something edible.
