Physical characteristics
While the pugs that are depicted in eighteenth-century prints tend to be long and lean, modern breed preferences are for a square cobby body, a compact form, a deep chest, and well-developed muscle. Their smooth and glossy coats can be fawn, apricot fawn, silver fawn, or black. The markings are clearly defined, and there is a trace of a black line extending from the occiput to the tail. The tail normally curls tightly over the hip.
Pugs have two distinct shapes for their ears, "rose" and "button". "Rose" ears are smaller than the standard style of "button" ears and are folded with the front edge against the side of the head. Breeding preference goes to "button" style ears.
Pugs' legs are strong, straight, of moderate length, and are set well under. Their shoulders are moderately laid back. Their ankles are strong, their feet are small, their toes are well split-up, and their nails are black. The lower teeth normally protrude further than their upper, resulting in an under-bite.
Pug Personality
The highly intelligent Pug gets easily uninterested with routine exercise and training. It carries a laid-back attitude, though requires a good amount of attention from its handler otherwise, it gets jealous. It is a good watchdog and loyal companion. Pugs tend to be quite clean and affectionate, though have the habits of wheezing and snoring. Nevertheless, they are quite lovable and well behaved around children and strangers, other dogs and pets.
Sometimes playful and clownish. Sometimes calm and dignified. Always sturdy and stable, good-humored and amiable.
Though peaceful with all the world, the Pug will sound off with his rather odd-sounding bark when visitors arrive. Then he will welcome them inside with snorts, snuffles, and grunts.
As is the case with most short-faced dogs, his large expressive eyes, wrinkled forehead, cocked head, innocent expression, and strange sounds bring out parental feelings in many people.
Indeed, a Pug is very childlike and always needs to be with you. If not spoiled too much, he can be depended on to maintain his sweet, comical, charming personality.
Pugs are fine with other animals. (But they can be jealous of another pet sitting in your lap.)
Though stubborn, Pugs seldom get into real mischief. Adults spend much of the day sleeping.
Pug Skills
In the past, the Pug rubbed elbows with nobility as a lap dog, and served as a carrier of messages to Napoleon from his wife, Josephine, while she was in prison in 1790. It remains, to this day, a popular companion and proud show dog. It can also perform tricks and do well as a watchdog.
