The Pug is a small short-haired dog breed that is often considered to be a friendly, docile, and easy-to-train pet. However, there may be a few reasons why few people have a pug:
*Taller: Pugs are typically taller than other dog breeds**, which makes this pet unaffordable for some people.
Difficult to care for: Pugs have short, dense coats that need to be groomed regularly, otherwise they are prone to knots and entanglements. In addition, they are sensitive and need to be kept dry and clean, otherwise they are susceptible to diseases.
Health problems: Pugs may have some health problems such as breathing difficulties, poor thermoregulation, digestive issues, etc. This has led some people to worry that they are not suitable to keep as pets.
Higher social needs: Pugs need more socialization and companionship, and they may become lonely and anxious if their owners don't have enough time and energy to spend with them.
In conclusion, while pugs are friendly, docile, and easy to train pets, they also have some care and health issues that make some people reluctant to choose them as pets.
