With
wrinkly, short-muzzled faces and curled tails, Pugs were brought to Europe from
China in the 16th century. The breed leaped into UK’s social
spotlight in the 19th century when Queen Victoria developed a passion for these canines that she passed on to other members
of the Royal Family.
The Pug’s
smooth, glossy coat is fawn or black in color, legs are strong and straight, feet
are small and lower teeth typically protrude further than the upper ones to
create an under-bite. These canines also thrive in moderate climates rather
than hot and cold environments.

Within a
pint-size stature, Pugs pack in a huge personality. They can be a bit stubborn
but are rarely aggressive. So they’re well suited for families with children.
Although they have a lazy nature and spend quite a bit of time napping, Pugs
spend their waking hours as canine “shadows” since they follow their humans
around to stay close to all the action.
This dog breed is susceptible to eye injuries such as Proptosis, scratched corneas and painful Entropion. Compact passageways make them prone to breathing issues
that can prevent efficient regulation of their internal thermostats. The breed
is also more susceptible than others to Demodectic mange (Demodex).
The Pug
breed lives to eat. And since they also tend to prefer a more sedentary life, these
dogs are inclined to become obese. Pug parents should be mindful of excessive
feeding, table scraps, and caloric treats. A smart feeding regime from puppy stage
to adulthood will go a long way in preventing pug obesity.
