巴哥犬(英語:Pug),原中文名哈巴狗,簡稱巴哥八哥,是一種小型觀賞犬種。巴哥犬面黑,有很多褶皺,成年時身高大約25到28厘米,體重約為5至13公斤,壽命大約為12到15年。個性溫和。巴哥犬是優秀的家庭犬(house dog),在室內時不喜吠叫,警戒時低沉、響亮的吠叫聲,又足以使門外的陌生人誤以為是大型犬,而有警示的作用[1]。原產地中國西藏[2]

名称起源

[编辑]

外表富有魅力,18世纪末正式命名为“巴哥”(Pug),「pug」 一詞來自古英語 pugg,這是一個小朋友的好玩的親切術語。[3]或古英語pūca,意思是goblin、demon。[4] 哈巴狗幼犬被稱為pugletitos。[5]

起源與歷史

[编辑]

巴哥犬源於中國,有些人認為巴哥犬的祖先為北京犬,另外有些人看巴哥就好像縮小比例的獒犬。巴哥犬源於西藏培育,17世紀時由荷蘭傳到歐洲,當時在英國即把牠稱為「荷蘭犬」,據說飼養相當普遍,而目前的品種是後來在英國培育改良而成的。

健康問題與品種改良的關聯

[编辑]

巴哥犬,與法國鬥牛犬北京犬西施犬同樣屬於扁平臉(flat-faced)或稱短頭(brachycephalic)的犬種,這樣的特徵使得巴哥犬容易有許多健康問題,包含:呼吸系統、眼疾、脊椎疾病、心臟病與肺炎。與一般犬種的平均壽命相比,巴哥犬的平均壽命會減少四歲。[6] 因為這些健康問題,有獸醫呼籲應謹慎考慮購買巴哥犬[7];英國獸醫協會亦呼籲商人應停止在情人節賀卡上印製巴哥犬的肖像,因為這樣的商業化往往激起消費者對於扁平臉犬種的狂熱,卻忽略這些犬種的福祉。[8]

作為古老的犬種,巴哥犬如今的扁平臉特徵,是二十世紀之後犬業人工選擇的結果[9]。為了符合民眾對於寬大、扁平臉特徵的偏好(這樣的偏好則來自人類對於「似幼童的」特徵的喜愛[10]),犬業縮短了巴哥犬的頭顱並拓寬其口腔頂,以強化扁平臉的特徵。相比十八世紀英國著名繪家威廉·賀加斯在其作品《威廉·賀加斯自畫像》(Painter and his Pug)所描繪的巴哥犬形象中,仍有明顯的吻部;如今美國犬業俱樂部所認可的巴哥犬種吻部標準則是:短、鈍、成方形[11]中國更有犬業培育出「鷹版巴哥」,增加巴哥犬鼻子上的皺褶,加劇呼吸困難的健康問題。

近年有獸醫呼籲道德培育(Ethical breeding)與「復古」巴哥犬,使巴哥犬的特徵回到過去,透過不過分強調扁平臉特徵,得以在保留巴哥犬特徵的同時,培育出更健康的犬種。[12]
