My husband and I have been living with my inlaws for 6 months while we are having a house built. We have a one year old bully female and they have a three year old male pug. They get along fine. Our Bully tends to dominate the pug. She chases him and he hides under the table and sometimes she backs him into the corner (the pug is a little on the wimpy side) They play and chase each other and sniff each other! The other day I found them laying side by side in front of the door! I think it will work out fine!

My roomie has a pug and my bullie and her pug get along okay. Her pug is really snooty though. She doesn't like to play much, so sometimes Ruby gets bored with her, but they get along alright.

Bulldozer would love to play with him but the pug will have nothing to do with him. He is a very skittish liitle thing and Bulldozer is well...a bulldozer. lol

I'll be rooting for ya all..and waiting to see how it goes....smile...ce

Our little pug loves to play with big dogs.. definately not aggressively.. she just likes to wrestle and roll around. Yes, she did intially meet the two bulldogs at the same time, but then they put the other one inside. We took them for a short walk and they began walking side by side. However, once back running around in the yard, the Pug was hiding behind our legs! We are getting the bulldog this weekend for a week trial period..will let you know how it works out!

and they run around like the best of friends.

how do you mean that..to play or aggressivly..or just to join in..?
...also if you exposed your little one to both bullies at he same time...(don't know if she met them both ..but just a thought)anyway perhaps she saw them as a pack..and that could have been intimidating to her...she needs to meet just him on neutral territory..maybe you could take them both for a walk together?
...with proper slow intros I would think it should be fine...but it has to be slow...and it really does have alot to do with each of their personalities..more then breed...ce

I have no advice, but I would love to have one of each! Lucky you!

you take the Bulldog home. Sometimes it just takes them getting used to each other. With bulldogs it doesn't take long, but other breeds are different. I would think it would be fine!!

Hi there- My 11month old bullie Dante has several pug friends at our local park. When one was just a tiny baby Dante would play rough with all of the other dogs but mangage to stter clear of the baby pug girl. It was very sweet. It may take some adjustment time but could probably work just fine! Good luck! -ann

Goliath has a black pug friend named Peanut. They get along pretty well and play together fine. The funniest thing is that little Peanut will put Goliath in his place if necessary!

Don't tell him I posted that...he'd never forgive me.

Our Pug is very spirited and wrestles constantly with my sister's American Eskimo -- so it was odd that she was standoffish with the bulldog. Maybe it is such that she has known the Esky since birth. She is generally afraid of dogs smaller than her (13 lbs) and charges at dogs bigger than her!

actually, it was the biggest pug i ever saw. but that little guy held his own. i think maybe it depends more on the individual dog than the breed?

as with any new relationship it will take some time to develop... maybe a few weeks after living together. But bulldogs tend to be very warm, friendly dogs, and especially if this bullie is already use to being in a 2-dog family it should be ok. He might have to learn to take on a different role (is he the alpha now?) and how to play with a smaller-bodied roommate. You and your wife will have to help them both learn how to coexist with each other, but I think it's wonderful that you want to give him a home!

My mom's pub and our bulldog get along very well. It will probably take a couple of days (maybe a week or two) for the two to learn to play nicely. Introduce them to each other in nuteral territory a few times, letting them play for a while, before you bring the bulldog into your home.

Do start to educate your selves about bulldogs. Read a lot and check messag boards here and on other bulldog board (such as wonderfulworldofbulldogs.com) first. They are not like other dogs. Good luck. bulldogs are wonderful.
