決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

CriticalVelcro Syndrome & Separation Anxiety

Pugs were bred for centuries solely as companions to Chinese emperors. They have almost zero tolerance for isolation and will follow you everywhere. If left alone for standard workdays (8+ hours), they often develop severe separation anxiety manifesting as destruction or vocalization.

CriticalExtreme Heat Sensitivity

Pugs cannot pant efficiently to cool down. Heatstroke can kill a Pug in minutes at temperatures that are safe for other dogs. Air conditioning is mandatory, and outdoor activity must be severely restricted in warm weather.

ChallengeStubbornness

Pugs score low on traditional obedience intelligence. They are independent thinkers who often refuse commands if there is no immediate food reward. House training can take months, and some Pugs never become 100% reliable.

CriticalGuaranteed Medical Expenses

Due to their flat-faced anatomy, Pugs have guaranteed health issues. BOAS surgery can cost $2,000-$5,000, and insurance premiums are 40% higher than average breeds. This is not a low-cost dog.
