Pug
Country of Origin
The Pug is also known as the Carlin, Mops the name of Marie Antoinettes Pug, or Chinese Pug. Pug derives either from the Latin for fist referring to the Pug faces resemblance to a clenched fist or the Old English Pugg for playful little monkey deriving from Puck, as in Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream. Unlike other toy breeds, the Pug descends from mastiffs. It was originally bred as an Emperors pet in China during the Shang dynasty 1766-1122 B.C. and became a popular pet for Tibetan monks. Pugs were imported to Holland by the Dutch East Indies Trading company, where one saved a Princes life by barking at an assassin, and a Pug later accompanied King William III of England on his journey to claim the throne. Napoleon Bonapartes wife Josephine had a Pug named Fortune, which she used to deliver messages to Napoleon while in prison in 1794, and in the late 1800s Queen Victoria had many favored Pugs which she bred personally. In addition to their extreme popularity as pets, Pugs served as guard dogs, scent hounds, and fashionable coach footmen. In short, Pugs have done just about everything short of delivering the Gettysburg Address. They were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885. Famous Pugs include Frank from Men in Black and Odie the Talking Dog from David Letterman, who won Top TV Moment of 2004 from America Online.
Size
The Pug has a shoulder height of 35 cm 14 in and weighs about 7 kg 15 lbs. It has a large, spherical head with big eyes, small rose folded toward the muzzle or button folded at ninety degrees ears, slight underbite, deeply wrinkled forehead, and a distinctly short, square muzzle. Pugs have a compact, muscular body with arched neck, deep chest, and tail curled tightly over the back.
Coat and Color
The Pug has a glossy short haired coat which can be apricot, black, fawn, or silver. All have a black mask. Pugs are an average shedder, but shed year round. Fawn Pugs have a double coat and are especially notorious shedders. Special shampoos or regular grooming can be used to control shedding.
Character
Pugs are easygoing, straightforward, sociable, intelligent and calm. The Latin phrase multum in parvo much in little is often used to describe the Pugs huge personality contained in a small body.
Temperament
The Pug gets along well with children, other dogs, and any household pets. It has a high socialization requirement and may get jealous if ignored by its owner. Pugs are lovable lap dogs who like to stick close to their owners side. Most Pugs wheeze or snore.
Care
The Pug should have loose hairs removed periodically with a rubber brush. A special lotion must be applied to the facial creases. The shape of the Pugs face makes it susceptible to eye injuries and scratched corneas, as well as breathing difficulties. Pugs are also susceptible to obesity, which makes exercise and a healthy diet important. The Pug has difficulty dissipating heat and should never be left outside in hot weather or locked in a car without air conditioning. The Pug is also prone to breed-specific Encephalitis known as PDE. The Pug may reverse sneeze, which is a fit of gasping and snorting to remove fluid caught under the palate. This is not dangerous, but may frighten the Pug and its owner; it should be handled by talking to the Pug calmly and gently rubbing its throat. The Pug has a lifespan of 12-15 years.
Training
It is necessary to be gentle when training the Pug, as it is very sensitive to the tone of is masters voice. Pugs are sometimes stubborn but do well with obedience training.
Activity
Pugs love to romp and play outdoors, provided the weather is good. Always make sure they have a cool place to spend the day if it is hot outside. The Pug is well suited to apartment life.
