American Lo Sze Pugg Dog Breed
The American Lo-Sze Pugg (Lo-Sze is pronounced "Low-ZEE") is a rare breed that existed in ancient China, was extinct for hundreds of years, and was then recreated in the late twentieth century. Essentially a smaller version of the standard Pug, the Lo-Sze is a good-natured, intelligent toy breed that socializes very well with kids and other pets, and makes an excellent family companion. Though these dogs can have overheating issues and other breathing problems because of their short muzzles, they are very easily trained, and are frequently used as therapy and companion dogs.
American Lo Sze Pugg Breed Description
The Lo-Sze is a small-sized breed. Height averages 10 inches at the shoulders, and weight is typically 5-12 pounds.
These dogs are intelligent, fun-loving, loyal little family pets. Known for its amusing and affectionate personality, the Lo-Sze is extremely social, and will get along very well with children and other animals in the house, particularly cats and birds, though it might be reserved around strangers. These dogs normally respond well to training, and are often employed as therapy dogs.
A Lo-Sze will not need much overall care. Brushing and bathing are necessary only occasionally to keep the dog's coat in good shape. Exercise needs are moderate, but Lo-Sze owners should be careful not to let their dogs overexert themselves, as this breed tends to overheat easily. Little training will be required.
Because of their short muzzles, Lo-Szes frequently overheat and suffer other breathing problems. This breed existed in ancient China, but had been extinct for centuries before being recreated in the 1980s by a woman named Rebecca Manns.
