There are those among dogs who stand out for their special charisma, cheerfulness, and sense of humor. Pugs have won the hearts of princes and princes in the past and are now one of the most popular breeds in the world, gracing every home with their smiling faces.
This is why owners think so carefully about pug dog names. A pet’s name can determine how people feel about the animal, so you might want to think about what you want to express by naming your dog “ball”.
For those who do not want to choose silly or meaningless options, we have prepared a list of good names for pugs.
