Pug
Toy · 14–18 lbs
One of the oldest dog breeds in the world, Pugs have been cherished companions since at least 400 BC when Buddhist monks in Tibet kept them as pets. The breed became the official dog of the House of Orange in Holland after a Pug allegedly saved William the Silent's life by alerting him to approaching Spanish troops in 1572, and Napoleon's wife Josephine had a famous Pug named Fortune.
The Pug is a charming, lovable clown with a friendliness score of 90/100 and almost no exercise requirements (15 min/day) — one of the most popular choices for apartments and seniors. Despite the small, easy-going package, Pugs shed heavily for their size (70/100), breathe poorly in heat, and are prone to obesity — all worth factoring into your decision.
