How can I show my mom how great pugs are?

you can't cuz they are not great dogs ... they are notoriously difficult to housebreak ... they shed more than any dog i have met in over forty years ... a well bred one is expensive and a backyard bred one is nothing but a lifelong vet bill ... those facial folds fill with moisture and bacteria and stink, stink, stink ... they are not the brightest dogs out there ... they are lazy beyond belief ... and good luck ever traveling with a pug ... no airline takes them because of their compromised breathing ... maybe you need someone to show you the reality of pugs ... are you going to vacuum your home every single day you own one ???

Find a breeder or owner that will allow you to visit with their Pug(s). You can also make a slide show for you mom all about Pugs. Is there a reason your mother doesn't like Pugs? If she met one, she would probably love them. Just make she it is one that is well-trained and socialized. A poorly socialized an untrained Pug is not going to convince her. So, try to find a breeder or owner in the area with a well-trained and socialized Pug. Maybe visit with the dog before you bring your mom, just to make sure. A lot of people prefer small dogs, so maybe that could be a selling point for your mom.

You can't

Your parents do not want a pug so you can't have one, you have very little to no say in what dog they get becouse its their money and they want a dog that they want. The dog will be long to them not you

Small dogs like pugs are are notoriously difficult to housebreak and since you have school you won't be home enough to house break the dog

Pug shed more then most large dogs

Pugs have a lot of health and genetic issues

It comes down to the fact they don't want one so you can't have one, doing immature childish things like showing them pictures and the like will only reinforce the fact that they won't be getting one

what i did when i wanted a pit i showed my mom videos about how funny they can be also how smart they can be and show her how good of a family pet they can be

heres a link for a funny pug video:

its pushing a baby stroller,usually moms think its so cute when dogs do stuff like that

You should go to breeders or rescues and spend time with the pugs so she can see them and see how she likes them. ANY good breeder or rescue allows this.

take her to the spca if they have pugs , that does the trick since they fall in love so easily XD

get a gsd or a silhoh shephard and be happy .. ultimate friends , guardians and family members..

no breed matches upto them trust me
