The Pug dogs, which is of Chinese extraction, is said to have been brought from Holland by William and Mary in the seventeenth century, and at onetime it was the favourite pet. There are again indications of a revival, the entries at shows growing in numbers. The older people still talk of Willoughby or Morrison pugs, though the two strains have long been merged into one. The Pug dog is former were of a silver-fawn with a dense black mask and a distinct trace along the back, extending from the occiput to the tail.
They were named after the late Lady Willoughby d'Eresby. Mr. Morrison's were a golden fawn. Of later derivation are the blacks, for which we have to thank Lady Brassey, who brought one back with her from China. The Pug dogs is a compact dog, being square and cobby, and he has substance in little. The weight may vary from 13 lb. to 17 lb. The Pug dog short body is well ribbed up and is wide in chest. Legs strong, straight and of moderate length, the head is dis,inctive, being massive, round, and with no indentation of the skull. The muzzle is short, blunt and square. Eyes prominent and dark in colour.
The Pug dog markings should be clearly denned, with the mask, ears, mole on cheeks, thumb mark on forehead, and trace as black as possible. The rest in the fawns may be silver or apricot The tail is curled tightly over the hip, a double curl being considered perfection. The Pug coat is fine, smooth, soft and glossy, and can easily be kept clean and sweet.
