There are too many dogs nowadays suffering from lifestyle diseases. Besides overeating and lack of exercise, many dogs are prone to obesity due to breed issues. So which dogs are naturally prone to obesity? Pugs, Bulldogs, Dachshunds, and Pekingese are all breeds that gain weight easily.

　　The Pug originally comes from China and is also called the Haba Dog domestically. It is charming and elegant. It was officially named "Pug" at the end of the 18th century; the word in ancient terms means ghost, lion nose, or little monkey. Pugs are affectionate, cute small breeds that do not require much exercise or frequent grooming of the back coat but do need companionship. Their faces have many wrinkles, and their walking resembles that of a boxer—this is a characteristic feature. They communicate by making snorting breathing sounds and horse-like snuffling noises. Meanwhile, this breed has an excellent and clean-loving personality, which makes it very popular.

　　Bulldogs are mainly divided into English and French Bulldogs. English Bulldogs must be medium-sized dogs with smooth coats; they are heavy, stout, low-set, and waddling but lively and powerful in life. The English Bulldog's temperament appears calm and friendly, determined and brave. The French Bulldog is a distant relative of the English Bulldog and is somewhat smaller in size. However, it is also a dog with a unique appearance and lively, cheerful personality. It has a muscular body and heavy bones, with an alert expression.

　　The Dachshund is also known as the badger dog. It is a hunting dog specialized in catching beasts in narrow tunnels. Due to its short legs and elongated body resembling a sausage, it is called Dachshund. It has a lively, cheerful, brave, careful, and confident personality. It often performs comical actions and is a happy dog. Easy to train, loyal to its owner but wary of strangers. Unyielding while working on or underground, all its senses are highly developed. Outdoors, the Dachshund is brave, energetic, and tireless; indoors, it is loving and sensitive, friendly when calm, and playful when lively.

　　The Pekingese, also called the Beijing Dog, is a well-balanced dog with a compact structure—heavier front body and lighter rear body. It originates from China and has a strong personality with a strong desire for attention. Its appearance resembles a lion. It symbolizes courage, boldness, and pride more than beauty, elegance, or delicacy. Nowadays, the Pekingese has become one of the most popular companion and ornamental pets domestically; its ownership among citizens has reached a considerable proportion, estimated conservatively at over 30% of all pet dogs.

　　Therefore, when selecting a dog, we must understand whether the breed is prone to gaining weight. If you are not very familiar with this, you can consult a professional veterinarian. If you choose a breed that easily gains weight without knowing, and do not pay attention to diet control and increased exercise, it will be hard to avoid obesity. One more thing to note is that the diet and exercise quantities mentioned here should not be compared with those of ordinary dogs!
