If its all you can do, then do it.
Weight is weight, and the only difference is barbells and dumbells are designed ergonomically to make it more comfortable to move that weight.
If anything, jugs are great because you can alter the weight to your needs. You could even add sand or gravel to make them even heavier.

They are great for long farmer walks, but I personally find them a bit too bulky for regular dumbbell routines.
