Pug
Next Breed: Puli
Previous Breed: Pudelpointer
The Pug has been referred to as "Multo in Parvo," which means "a lot of dog in a small space." In their little bodies, Pugs pack a lot of love and boundless enthusiasm. This small, affectionate oriental breed began as guard dogs in ancient Chinese temples.
History
As with many breeds, the true history of the Pug is uncertain. What is known is that dogs resembling the Pug we know today were part of Buddhist monasteries in Tibet before 400 BC. They then appeared in Japan and Europe, becoming the favorite for the royal courts. By the mid-1500s, the Pug was a popular dog in Holland. Throughout history, the Pug has played many important roles. In 1572, the Pug became the official dog of the House of Orange in Holland after saving the life of William, Prince of Orange, by giving alarm at the approach of the Spaniards at Hermingny. In 1790, the Pug became an important pet of Josephine, wife of Napoleon. While imprisoned at Les Carne, Napoleon received secret messages from Josephine hidden within their Pug's collar. Eventually, after British soldiers attacked the Imperial Palace of Peking in 1860, the Pug was brought to England. The breed's popularity continued to rise and was soon imported to the United States. The Pug was admitted to the American Kennel Club in 1885.
Appearance and Size
Despite being an ancient breed, the Pug hasn't changed much over the years. The breed is the largest of the toy breeds with a compact body and well-developed musculature. Pugs have round massive heads with short, square muzzles and deep wrinkles on their foreheads. Pugs have prominent eyes, straight legs with a tightly twisted tail over the haunches. They have a sleek soft coat that comes in apricot, black, fawn and silver with as dark a mask possible. From the top of the shoulder the Pug stands between ten and eleven inches tall and weighs between fourteen to twenty-two pounds.
Personality
Not at all Pugnacious, the Pug is an affectionate, loveable, even-tempered breed with great charm and dignity. They are clever and mischievous with an outgoing disposition. Pugs love company and want to be everyone's best friend but they will sulk when left out of activities.

Rare Breeds: A Man and His Pug
(UPDATE (10/16/2011): Loren and Marty are still a-walkin'. :) Saw them the other day.) I filmed this short documentary on this man after a couple decades of casually seeing this man walk his various elderly dogs in the neighborhood over the years. I was just curious about him and wanted to know his story. Adopting a "senior" dog can be the perfect remedy for loneliness in a single or widowed senior. www.srdogs.com
