Pug -The origins of the Pug are subject to speculation, but it seems likely to originate in the Far East possibly brought to Europe by Dutch traders.

Possibly descended from a short haired relative of the Pekingese, although there are claims that it is a result of crossing small Bulldogs. Another theory is, it is a miniature form of a rare French Mastiff called the Dogue De Bordeaux.

The Pug was a favourite breed of Sir Winston Churchill and the artist Hogarth.

A robust breed, very intelligent and loving with a great personality who talks with his eyes. He doesn't require much grooming or excercise, but does require company.
