Dog breed · Australia
Pug
Typical look — individuals vary, especially with crossbreeds and rescue moggies.
Compact companions that suit many homes — but brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs need extra care in Australian heat.
SizeSmall
TemperamentCharming, sociable, comical
ExerciseLow–moderate — short walks; heat sensitive
GroomingLow–moderate — facial folds need cleaning
Care notes
- Never exercise hard in hot weather; provide cool resting spots.
- Clean skin folds gently and keep dry.
- Monitor weight — extra kilos worsen breathing strain.
Breathing, eyes and spine are common vet topics. Choose ethical sources.
