My pug/jack-russell sometimes makes a sound like a pig that is 10x over weight.It seems to me that she is having trouble breathing but due to her being a cross breed her nose is not as flat as a pure pug, her face is the same look and shape as a boxer.Also her nose isnt closed up at all or got any presure on it.It happens when she is breathing in and out but not everyday.
1 year old and her weight is normal
i find it hard to give advise to people when i can't actually hear the sound so i would say it would be the best to go to the vet and just get her checked. i mean it can't harm her. if it's something physical you may be able to alter it to help her breath better but if it's only once in a while and the doc says yeh she'll be ok you can breath again!
i would say let the vet see her and see what he says
good luck!!

I have a European Staffard Bull Terrier. He is 1 1/2 yrs old. I love the breed and had 2 b-4. But now I have a JUG! My staffard and the Jug get along great. My problem is the Jug is so diffrent. He barks all the time, he acts like he is starving. I only feed my dogs 2 times a day! Morning and night. I have always done that with all my dogs. I crate train my dogs. And the jug learned really fast and had my staffard as a great trainer. But he is so diffrent and I dont know much about the breed. I know there are websites and I've done that. If your wondering why I got a Jug! Its 'cause my in-laws bought it for my 10yr old and of course he is now mine. I love dogs so I dont mind but I want to know more about them,,, Thank you
I also have a JUG and I will call her a jug. yes she is designer breed. There is no dog that is 100% pure they all had to come from some place. there are some designer breeds they have now been proven and yes you can get papers for some of them. (Jugs have not been around long enough yet.)
I like how some here like to pick the bad traits of Jack Russells and Pugs.
That was not the idea of this Breed. but to make more of a balance as Jack Russells are very hyper and very smart have a long nose and are on the small side. pure breed jack russells can have hip issues.
Pugs might not be very smart have a snout that is so small that they have a hard time in the heat and over all have a hard time breathing. they also sometimes have skin issues near the eyes due to the wrinkles.
This designer breed makes a dog that looks close to a Pug but without all the health issues that Pug have.

what 1 is better and y?
It depends on your life style, I dont know too much about pugs, but for an example, If your lifestyle is kinda laid back, then a Jack Russel will not be a good choice or you will need to change your life habits.

I have recently heard of a dog called a "Jug" which is a mixture of Jack Russell Terrier & Pug. Has anyone got any information for me???
Miscellaneous breeds: Jack Russell Terrier
*Note: The name of the Jack Russell Terrier was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier effective April 1, 2003 as requested by the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America, which was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier Association of America.
Origin
The Jack Russell Terrier was developed in the south of England in the 1800s. Originally a white terrier to hunt for the European red fox, both above and below ground. The very word "terrier" means go to ground. This breed was named for The Rev. John Russell, nicknamed "the Hunting Parson," who owned and worked many of this breed.
General description
Height: 12-14 inches
Weight: 13-17 pounds
Color: Predominantly white with tan, black or brown markings. Ticked or mottled acceptable. Brindle not acceptable.
Grooming requirements
This small breed sheds a lot. The show dog Jack Russell will need to be hand stripped about six to eight weeks before a show. A pet Jack Russell can be clipped with a clipper to reach the same look, but this will soften the coat. A soft slicker is best to get the dirt off of the coat of your bundle of energy. You should keep the ears clean and the nails short.
Health considerations
Jack Russells are prone to eye problems, hard tissue diseases, respiratory problems, aggression problems, von Willebrand's disease, and heart problems .
Breed characteristics and personality
JRTs are brave, affectionate, muscular, and resourceful. Persistent and dauntless when working, this little dog is frisky, enthusiastic and very loving at home. He is a confident and active terrier and requires lots of attention.
The Jack Russell is a terrier, and they like to dig. If you have a landscaped yard and you do not want your dog to do the landscaping for you, this may not be the dog for you. If you like planting with your dog, this may very well be the breed. The Jack Russell needs lots of exercise. They also generally do not mix well with other pets, though there are always exceptions to the rule. They have been known to be dog aggressive as well, challenging dogs up to three times their small size.
They need firm discipline, and it is highly recommended they attend obedience class. Some JRTs have been known to become very possessive of their owners, striking out at others whom they see as invaders.
The JRT is not an apartment dog, although you may see them as such in movies and on television. It is a very high energy dog and needs a fenced yard and lots of room in which to expend it positively. If you do not let your JRT work out his energy you will find they have become destructive.
JRTs usually do best with adults and older children, and are above all a 15-plus-year commitment.
Uses
This breed was created to hunt fox through the brush and then underground. They are persistent and unrelenting when in search of their prey. Today they are still used as hunting dogs, as well as companions.

My Jack Russell and my pug were so good yesterday that I gave them a bit of peanut butter. Usually I just dip a beacon strip in the peanut butter and give one to each. Well yesterday I had run out of beacon strips so I gave them peanut butter with my finger. Because I've had my pug longer he's eaten the peanut butter off my finger before without biting. I didnt have to teach him not to bit it just came natualy to him. Now my Jack Russell was wanting to chomp down on my finger yesterday. How do you train them not to bite you when you have something stuck to your finger that they want?? Dont know if this would have anything to do with it but he's 5 months old.
BTW I dont feed my dogs table scraps. Peanut butter is ok to give to a dog as a treat. Oh and I dont insert my finger in thier mouths. Like I said I already have a dog that just licks the peanut butter off my finger. Jack is the one who actually tries to bite it.
Ok so I guess I need to add more details. I have children, one is only a few months old but I know very well that when he's walking around with a snack in his hand and i'm not looking that my dogs are gonna try and take it from him or try and eat from his hand. I want my dog to stop biting because I dont want this to happen to my kids. So I still want them to be able to eat peanut butter from my finger. They dont bite when I take their food or when I put my had to block them from eating for this very reason. I'll just follow Idg's advice which is what I was looking for. Thanks
I have a jack russell- shitzu mix and she is really smart I am sure its the jack in her. How I trained mine is I let her drink out of my cupped hand first the same with food and slowly went to giving small treats with my fingers. Just take your time and train in steps. She can roll over, speak, reach for the sky, dance, walk on her hind legs, sit, lay-down, and even sneeze, and shake if I tell her to. All for a treat of course, but it did not happen all at once. She is two years old, and the smartest and sweetest dog I have every seen.

Well I got my pug last christmas and I had my jack russel since about october of 2005 a long time and i bring the pug in last christmas and i let them greet and everything but all of a sudden the jack russel just jumps on the pug. And now we have to separate them because the pug has been blind in one eye because the jack russel got out one time and jumped on him so i don’t know please what can i do for them to stop fighting please.
Puppies are like people some just don't seem to get along there is a solution I know works really well.
1. Bring ONLY your Jack Russel into a room and have him sit.
2. Bring the pug into the room, make sure your J.R. sees him and feed the J.R. a treat.
3.Have the pug leave the room.
4.Repeat a few more times and do it a few times a day.
Soon you won't need treats.
By doing this the Jack Russel will think of if he is nice to the pug he'll get a treat, so he'll be nice more often.
If this doesn't work if your in the room and they're fighting either leave the room of if they are on your lap, stand up and leave. Soon they'll know if they want you there, they have to be nice.
I know it doesn't sound too good but I got this advice from a pro dog trainer.
