Is 23-30 pounds to heavy for a pug dog to weigh? Would this be considered a flaw or badly bred pug ?

Question

looking into buying a 9 week old puppy pug whos parents were heavy. The stud pug was 28 lbs and the female was 20 lbs. IS this a bad buy..

Answer 1

no but u got to help it lose weight

Answer 2

The pugs parents are big but that does not mean the 9 week old puppy will be big. I have a desexed male pug that is nearly 8yrs old and he weighs about 24lbs. His father was about 28lbs. I do not think this a bad buy. 20lbs for a female is OK, when fully grown. With pugs, they LOVE to eat! It is up to the owner to monitor their diet or the pug will get fat.



You will love having a pug, they are playful, affectionate, couch potatoes, love living inside, and if trained properly (they have been known to be hard to train, but my pug obedient) will give years of wonderful enjoyment to their owner. They need minimum care except a good brush now and then helps with the shedding and their folds need a wipe with a soft cloth.

Answer 3

The desirable weight for a pug is between 14 - 18 pounds. So five pounds over the desired weight isn't bad, but thirty pounds is obese.



Unless the dog's height is in proportion to the weight, I can't see a pug's body being able to carry that much weight without suffering some health problems.

Answer 4

It may not be a flaw but a weight problem that could be adjusted through a diet. The best bet would be to check with a vet or another pug breeder. Im pretty sure they are not supposed to get that large and this could be a bad health trait in the pug's bloodline.

Answer 5

The standard for the pug is 14-18 lb. The parents may just be too fat. If you are looking for a good quality dog, I would look elsewhere.

Answer 7

Unless you're planning to show him, don't worry about size. Generally the dogs that deviate from 'breed standard' are less inbred and therefore genetically healthier than "perfect sized" dogs. Just make sure the dog looks healthy and get a vet record before you buy, and you'll be fine.

Answer 8

These are either big pugs or really fat pugs.

If they are big the must be oversized and do not fit breed size standards. If you are wanting to breed one I would not buy oe from oversized parents
