“Once the mischievous
companion of Chinese
emperors, and later the
mascot of Holland’s royal
House of Orange, the small
but solid pug is today
adored by their millions of
fans around the world. Pugs
live to love and to be loved
in return. The pug’s motto is
the Latin phrase, ‘multum in
parvo’ (a lot in a little), an
apt description of this small but muscular breed. They come in three colors: silver or apricot-fawn
with a black face mask, or all black. The large round head, the big sparkling eyes, and the
wrinkled brow give pugs a range of human-like expressions…that have delighted owners for
centuries. Pug owners say their breed is the ideal house dog. Pugs are happy in the city or
country, with kids or old folks, as an only pet or in a pack. They enjoy their food, and care must
be taken to keep them trim. They do best in moderate climates, but with proper care, pugs can
be their adorable selves anywhere.
