1. Pug Introduction:
1. How long is a Pug's lifespan?
The lifespan of a Pug is generally 13 to 14 years, but if raised well, it is also possible for it to live past 15 years, though this is rare.
2. What does a Pug eat?
Pugs are similar to other dogs and can eat meat, vegetables, cooked beans, sugar-free biscuits, and so on, but the meat must be fresh and chopped. If feeding fish, the fish bones must be removed to avoid choking the dog's throat. It is worth noting that seafood must never be fed, to avoid the dog feeling unwell.
2. How much does a Pug roughly cost?
Pug market prices vary, generally between 3000 and 15000 yuan each, but due to differences in bloodline, breed, region, and coat color, there will be certain price differences.
1. By breed: the market price of purebred Pug puppies is generally between 8000 and 15000 yuan each, pet-grade Pug puppies are between 1800 and 8000 yuan each, and show-grade Pug puppies are more than 15000 yuan each.
2. By region: first-tier cities are much more expensive than second- and third-tier cities. For example, the market price of Pugs in Nanchang is about 1200 yuan each, the market price in the Tianjin area is about 1500 yuan each, while in county towns, the market price is about 500 yuan each.
3. By color: Pugs come in black, white, brown, yellow, silver, and other colors, among which black is the most common, generally about 2000 to 4000 yuan each, while other colors vary in price. However, white is a mutated individual, very rare, and its price is not fixed.
4. By bloodline: if a Pug has a pedigree certificate, its market price is generally about 2000 to 4000 yuan each. If its appearance is a bit better but it has no pedigree certificate, the market price of the Pug is generally 2000 to 3000 yuan each. In addition, there are also home-bred ones online, and generally one can be bought for about 800 yuan, but I personally feel this is not appropriate, and I suggest not buying.
Overall, Pug market prices range from expensive to cheap, so when choosing one, try to buy from breed farms, and as far as possible ask the seller for the pedigree certificate, vaccination record, and transfer certificate. If a dog dealer sells one to you, it is best not to buy, because most of those dogs are sick, so be sure to pay attention.
