The Pug is one of the world’s oldest breeds, having been prized companions to Chinese emperors and later European royalty. Their distinctive wrinkled face and curled tail make them instantly recognizable.

Multum in Parvo

The Latin phrase “Multum in parvo” (much in little) is the official motto of the Pug. Despite their small size, they have a sturdy, muscular build and a huge personality that fills any room.

Loving Companions

Pugs live for human affection. They are often called “shadows” because they love to follow their owners from room to room. They are generally good with children and other pets, making them ideal family dogs for both city apartments and country homes.

Health and Comfort

Because of their flat faces (brachycephalic), Pugs can overheat easily and should not be over-exercised in hot weather. They are prone to snoring and snorting, which many owners find charming. Keeping them at a healthy weight is vital for their overall well-being.
