The appearance of french bulldogs and pugs is very similar, they look ugly and cute, and people who don't own dogs can't tell who they are without looking closely.
But it is because it is too similar, so that people who want to raise them are very entangled, do not know whether it is better to keep pugs or fighting dogs.
So, let's look at these comparisons, maybe you can make a choice!
Comparison one: price
pug:
Pugs are native dog breeds in the mainland, so the price will be more affordable, and the price on the general market is about 1000 to 2000.
Fighting Dogs:
French fighting dog originated in France, and Yingdou is related, because it is an imported foreign dog breed, coupled with its own low reproductive ability, rare is expensive, the general market price in the market in about 4000 ~ 8000.
If you don't have enough money, but you want to get an ugly dog, it's more economical to keep a pug!
Comparison two: history
pug:
Just said, the pug is a native dog breed that originated in the mainland, and was later brought back to Europe by European merchants, and was sought after and loved by many nobles in the local area, a veritable noble dog!
Fighting Dogs:
The French Dog is a relative of the English Bulldog, which was originally brought back from England by the French, and was bred and improved to be a relatively new breed.
Contrast three: personality
pug:
Pugs do not have a strong sense of territory, so they are particularly docile, and they are also particularly close to people, and they especially like to stick to their owners, which is a very suitable dog breed for family breeding.
Fighting Dogs:
The ancestors of the Dharma Dog were first used by people as pit bulls, so they somehow inherited the genes of the bullfighting, with a certain degree of aggression, unstable personality, irritability, and strong possessiveness!
Contrast four: physique
pug:
The physical fitness of pugs is relatively good, not easy to get sick, and it is also very convenient to raise, without the owner to worry too much.
Fighting Dogs:
The breeding of the Dog is more troublesome, the physical fitness is inherently poor, if the owner does not take care of it carefully, it is easy to get some skin diseases, and the medical expenses are very large.
Contrast five: IQ
pug:
The PUG's IQ is relatively low in the dog world, ranking 57th, but it is better than its obedience, and it is still easy to train.
Fighting Dogs:
The IQ of the hoop dog ranks 58th, which is worse than the pug, but due to personality reasons, obedience is very poor, and the owner needs to spend more effort to train it.
In fact, regardless of whether the dog's IQ is high or not, if you want to train well or depend on obedience, the owner can prepare some small snacks as a reward while training, which can effectively improve the obedience of the dog and make it easier to train!
Contrast five: body type
pug:
Pugs are small dogs, generally normal weight of 6 to 8 kg, height is generally about 27 cm.
Fighting Dogs:
The French dog is a small and medium-sized dog, larger than the pug, mostly weighing about 10 to 13 kilograms, and the height is about 30 to 31cm, which looks more powerful.
If you like dogs that look more powerful, it will be more consistent to choose to breed a fighting dog between the two.
But pugs and legal fighting dogs have a problem in the size, that is, easy to be fat, which is related to their own body structure, their own small size, and gluttony does not like sports, which is why we see pugs and legal fighting dogs on the road are fat.
Long-term obesity is not good for any dog, and even shortens its lifespan, so owners can't indulge their dogs too much.
If your dog is already obese, the owner should pay more attention, usually take the dog out to exercise, and reasonably increase the amount of exercise.
At the same time, make adjustments in your diet and choose a high-protein, low-fat dog food as a staple food.
Conclusion: Do you like pugs or dog fighting dogs?
