Pugs tongue stick out

Question
My family is thinking about getting a Pug that we saw at a pet store. He is only 5 mths old. We've seen him a few times and every time he has him tougue sticking out and has very few teeth on the top and bottom. Someone told me that this could be a sign that something could be wrong with him. Is that true?

Answer
Jess,

Pugs tend to their tongue out a lot - some more than others.  At 5 months old, he should have more than 'very few' teeth.  The pet store should have a vet that can check to make sure the teeth are fine.

5 months old is getting up there for a pet store.  I would be great for the puppy to get a home.
