It's not a breed but a wonderful mongrel/cross breed.  Enjoy.

Unfortunately this is not a breed but a cross between two breeds and it is impossible to know what the puppies of a cross will turn out like. Your pup may or may not be like it's littermates or any other dog bred from the two different breeds. It is only possible to know the sort of size, colour, temperament etc. from pure bred dogs, with cross breeds you take pot luck, sure you will enjoy your puppy what ever it turns out to be like.

I have a pug and havent come across any one with the cross breed your looking for, have you thought about a Pug or a Shitzu?
If not there are hundereds of cross pups in shelters,
You'll end up paying more for one of these cross breeds than you would for a pedigree most of the time,
Pugs come with numerous health issues so crossing them with another small breed can only make things worse

welcome to the board!

since its a cross there is no standard for this dog, as such even if anyone on here had the same cross there would be no telling if your one would be anything like it. your pup with either end up looking like a pug, a shitzu or an emalgamation of various different factors of both and there is no telling which. this is one of the reasons that many people prefer an actual breed- you inow what your getting!

i;d suggest reading up on pugs, reading up on shitzu's and on general care as there is no telling how your dog will end up.

on an aside is that not quite young for a toy breed? i'm a working group person so it's usually 8 weeks for us but i believe a pug person on here before said she'd not release a pup till 10 weeks

out of interest cheryllouise why did you go for this mix? (not a critisism, just interested)
you are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here

My apologies!!

I agree no way of telling which way it'll turn out could either be very much shitzu or very much pug like,

Have a look on Google see if you can look at any pics of fully growns,
