A square, cobby girl, everything flows together perfectly, beautiful neck, excellent shoulder placement, level topline finishing with an excellent tailset, the most feminine head with correct earset and beautiful eyes.  When she moved out showed the Pug true movement with plenty drive action.  One I wish every success in the future.
