Old School
Whenever Sol does something a bit different from Benjamin, Henry & Luna, I always remark that she is "old school". Of course, now that I am sitting down to write this post, I can only think of one less than flattering example, but I will share it anyway.
When the pugs go out to go potty in the yard, Benjamin, Henry & Luna all sniff out a good spot to pee and then pee on the spot they were smelling. Sol however, likes to just smell the spot and pee at the same time, so she isn't actually marking the spot she smelled.
Now perhaps this is how most pugs do things. I don't know. My survey sample is only 4 pugs, so I could be off base here, but since she does things differently than the other 3, younger pugs, I always think to myself that she is old school.
Then the scenario plays out in my head that there is a whole generation of pugs out there, like Sol, that have their own way of doing things that differs from all those young, whippersnapper pugs of today. And I am sure all the younger pugs have it so much easier nowadays than the pugs of Sol's generation. After all, their walk to the dog park isn't up hill, both ways.
Oh, the things that run through my mind while I am waiting for the pugs to go potty! Have a good weekend, everyone.

Everytime I see a picture of Sol, I get a big smile on my face as she is so beautiful.
I have had 5 pugs and they all go potty like your 3 younger ones .
