The Pug is a Dignified Little Fellow

The Pug is undoubtedly a very old breed, but from where they
came is a bit confusing. Authorities differ very much in their
opinions of the exact origin of the Pug. Some Pug authorities’
feel they were brought from Holland many years ago having been
imported there from the Cape of Good Hope, and later brought to
England. Others say they came from Muscovy. Many writers say
they are a cross between the English Bulldog and small Dane.

Fawn-pug-and-black-pug There were dogs resembling the Pug we know today in the Buddhist
monasteries in Tibet before 400 BC. They were also seen in Japan
and Europe becoming the favorite of royal courts in those
countries. The Pug became popular in Holland around the
mid-1500’s.

Other important positions of the Pug throughout history were:

• The Pug became the official dog of the House of Orange in
Holland in 1572. It has been said this occurred after a Pug
saved the life of William, Prince of Orange. Apparently the Pug
was instrumental in giving the Prince an alarm at the approach
of the Spaniards at Hermingny.

• The Pug was an important pet of Josephine, wife of Napoleon in
1790.

One fact remains that were not heard of in England until about
the time of William III, at which time, they became great
favorites among the aristocracy. They were pampered and petted.
During the lifetime of the great painter Hogarth the Pug’s
popularity in the Flemish provinces was well documented by his
pictures. The Pug is seen in many of his famous pictures.

Two strains in England known as the Willoughby and the Morrison
in the years of 1840 and 1850 were well known. The Willoughby
strain was named after Lady Willoughby de Eresby, a Pug fancier
who obtained a dog from Vienna, formerly the property of a
Hungarian Countess. In 1864 he was mated to a female imported
from Holland of correct fawn color with black mask and trace but
without brindle. From this union the celebrated Willoughby Pug
with its “saddle mark” or “wide trace,” found its origin. The
Morrison strain was of richer color and without much black
marking, also a larger type and supposedly a lineal descendant
of the stock owned by Queen Charlotte.

The Pug derives his name from a Greek word which forms the root
of the Latin pugnus, a fist, as his profile closely resembles a
man’s hand when tightly clenched. However, this definition is
one of question. Others think his name is more likely to have
arisen from a study of the countenance as well as general
appearance of the animal. His jet black muzzle or mask is also
called “Carlin,” from the resemblance to a harlequin who was
famous in France at one time in history. The breed was known in
France previously as “dogmus” and “roquets.” Many wealthy
families owned and celebrated their Pugs especially as “parlour
pets.” When the owner sat for a portrait, the Pug sat in a
prominent place in the foreground.

The Pug has a stately look about him which seems to state his
feelings of dignity and how well they know their importance.
They are generally affectionate, yet with a jealous streak of
their mistress if she gives attention to others in the doggy
community. He is easy going otherwise and good tempered. The Pug
is clever and can be comically mischievous having an out-going
personality. Do not feed your Pug excessively. They seem to have
a tendency to overeat if allowed and become overweight, which is
not healthy for any breed of dog. If you do encounter an adult weight problem switch foods to Life's Abundance Weight Loss Formula.

The general appearance of the Pug is a large-headed,
smooth-coated, square built and cobby shape standing with an air
of importance and dignity. Eyes of a Pug are usually dark and
large.

Pug have a short, square muzzle, therefore, they are not too
happy in hot, cold or humid weather. Don’t leave them outside or
closed in cars in the summer or winter months.

Grooming the Pug is fairly easy. For best results use Life's Abundance Grooming Products. They have a smooth, slick hair
coat that is easily combed and brushed.  You won’t find any mats
and tangles on these guys!


The Pug makes a good pet companion to the young and old,
children and teenagers.
