Pug information
The Pug is a small, stocky,
square, thickset dog. The round head is massive with a short,
blunt, square shaped muzzle. Moles on the cheeks are considered
beauty spots. The teeth meet in a slight undershot bite. The
very large, prominent eyes are dark. The small, thin ears are
either rose or button shaped. The face has large, deep wrinkles.
The high set tail is curled over the back and a double curl is
preferred in the show ring. Dewclaws are usually removed. The
short coat is soft, fine and smooth. Coat colors come in
apricot, fawn, black and silver.
Temperament
The Pug is keen,
with a happy-go-lucky attitude. Animated, peppy and spirited,
they are loyal, loving and affectionate with their families.
Playful, lively and rambunctious, they are sure to keep you
laughing. Highly intelligent, it bores easily without variety in
their training. They can be a bit willful if they sense they are
stronger minded than the humans around them. Pugs are sensitive
to the tone of your voice, so harsh punishment is unnecessary.
They need an owner who is calm, yet
firm, confident and consistent with
the rules. The dog is neither excitable nor dull. They are good
watchdogs, very devoted and are not yappers. Pugs get along well
with other dogs and pets, and they behave impeccably with both
children and visitors. Be sure to be your Pug's pack leader.
Pugs who do not have strong human leaders can become jealous,
and begin to display guarding behaviors, such as guarding
furniture, food, toys, or other spots in the house. This
behavior only happens when dogs are allowed to take over. These
behaviors can be corrected when the owners start displaying the
proper leadership. Dogs who feel they need to run the home are
not as happy as dogs who know they are human followers, as it is
very stressful for a dog to need to keep "their" humans in line.
Size
Height: Dogs 12-14 inches (30-36 cm.) Bitches 10-12 inches
(25-30 cm.)
Weight: Dogs 13-20 pounds (6-9kg.) Bitches 13-18 pounds (6-8kg.)
Needs
Pugs are strong dogs with short straight legs. They need to be
taken on daily walks. While out on the walk the dog must be made
to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as
instinct tells a dog the leader leads the way, and that leader
needs to be the human. They enjoy energetic games and will keep
in better health if given regular exercise. But be careful not
to over do it, especially if you see them start to wheeze.
The Pug is good for apartment
life. It is relatively inactive indoors and will do okay without
a yard. Cannot withstand hot or cold weather and should be kept
indoors at a comfortable temperature.
Grooming
The smooth, short-haired coat
is easy to groom. Brush and comb with a firm bristle brush and
shampoo only when necessary. Dry thoroughly after a bath so the
dog does not get chilled. The creases on the face must be
cleaned regularly. This breed is a seasonally heavy shedder.
Pug Origins
The Pug is one of the oldest breeds known today, believed to
have originated before 400 BC. There is somewhat of a debate
over the origin of the Pug. Most researchers agree that the Pug
originated from Asia descended from a short-haired Pekingese.
Another theory is, it is the result of crossing a small Bulldog,
while other speculate that it is a miniature form of the French
Mastiff ( Dogue de Bordeaux). The artist Hogarth had a Pug named
"Trump" who he often depicted in his works. The breed became
popular during Victorian times in the 16th century. Tibetan
monasteries kept Pugs as pets. The breed made its way to Japan
and Europe where it not only became a pet of royalty but the
official dog of the House of Orange in Holland. Prince William
II owned Pugs. One dog in particular was said to have saved his
life in 1572 at Hermingny, when the dog barked at approaching
Spaniards alerting him of their presents. In France Napoleon's
wife, Josephine had a Pug named "Fortune". On their wedding
night when Napoleon refused to allow the dog to sleep in their
bed Josephine told him, "If the Pug does not sleep in our bed,
neither do I!" When Josephine was sent to prison she used the
little dog to send secret messages to her husband by placing a
note under the collar of her Pug. In 1860 when the British took
over the Chinese Imperial Palace, they discovered several Pugs
and Pekinese, and the dogs were brought back to England with
them. The AKC recognized the Pug in 1885. Some of the Pug's
talents include: watchdog and performing tricks.
