PUGS

Pug dogs are a charming breed that make an ideal pet. Their tightly wrinkled, flat, and round faces is what makes them one of the most recognized, and endeared, pets. Pugs are categorized as toy dogs.

Pugs originated in China around 700 BC. They were raised as a human companion and not as a guard dog. This breed of dogs comes in four colors: apricot, fawn, silver, and black. Every single Pug has their tail coiled up firmly over their hip.

All dogs can be lovable, but Pug dogs have a unique charisma of their own. These puppies are born in a brood from two to five pups. At birth, a puppy is so tiny that it will require special attention and care. Pug mothers usually give this needed extra care. Pug puppies are very much unlike their parents when they were born. Their color is different but it changes sooner or later.

Even if they might appear delicate and small, Pugs are very active and they enjoy running. They also need a lot of exercise to keep fit. However, because of their small frame, they have a tendency to get exhausted easily and can sleep for hours on end.

When training a Pug, one must be patient since these dogs get jaded easily by repetitive training lessons. In addition, Pugs are extremely sensitive dogs and so, cruel punishment should be sidestepped in the course of the training.

Finally, the Pug puppy should be allotted some time and room to grow and become skilled at the regulations of the house. When fully grown, they make an ideal pet in homes.

Pug dogs can make excellent pets and are relatively easy to care for. Anyone considering adopting a pug, should look into the specific needs of the breed as well as research the different health issues that Pugs can be prone to.

Colours
Pugs may be silver fawn, apricot fawn, or black. The silver fawn or apricot fawn colours should be decided so as to make the contrast complete between the colour and the trace and the mask. Black to be glossy jet black.

Markings
The markings are clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, moles on cheeks, thumb mark or diamond on forehead, and the back trace should be as black as possible. The mask should be black. The more intense and well defined it is the better. The trace is a black line extending from the occiput to the tail.
