The Pug is believed to
have originated in China in approximately 400 BC, possibly as a
smooth-coated, taller version of the Pekingese.
A great favourite in many
royal courts, he was introduced to Britain by William of Orange and is now
used primarily as a companion, watch dog, and therapy dog.
The word 'pug'
comes either from the Latin 'pugnus' meaning 'fist' or from Old English 'pugg',
an affectionate term.

Standing
up to 11 inches at the shoulder, the Pug has a
short, smooth coat that comes in solid black, silver fawn, or apricot fawn
with a black face mask and ears. Although grooming is minimal, he does
shed a lot.
The
Pug is loyal, affectionate, loving, and generally docile. He is very people-oriented and
is very fond of playing with children. He too has a long childhood and
will behave like a puppy for close to two years. His owner needs patience
but will be rewarded by the lovable and amusing little clown! The Pug gets
along well with other dogs.
This dog cannot live outside in hot,
humid weather. Because of his flat face, prolonged exposure to this type
of weather can cause death.
Pugs are intelligent, but can be strong-willed,
independent thinkers. He needs patient handling but no harsh punishment is
necessary as he is sensitive to tone of voice. The Pug requires more
than the average exercise for a Toy breed.
