Of course, we're also always sharing everyday life on the farm with
the Pugs, who find any and every good place to curl up for a nap!

Peter and I both started breeding German Shepherds in 1965.
Of course, that was before we met! It is interesting to note,
that our first love was the German Shepherd Dog and that we
have a combined 72 years of breeding experience!

This delightful little dog is considered to be of Chinese origin and has known documentation dating to 700 BC.
It's importation to the Americas came through England and before that Holland, Germany and Spain around the
15th Century. The first Pug Standard (blueprint of the breed) was developed in England in 1883.

Waiting for Santa!
The Pug reached the height of its popularity in the
Victorian era and, perhaps more than any other breed, it
has been owned by people from all stations in life.
European and English royalty, aristocracy and ordinary
working people, all favoured the Pug. Henry II of France,
Marie Antoinette, Napoleon's wife, the Empress Josephine
and William Hogarth all kept Pugs. It was William III and
Queen Mary who first brought the breed to England from
Holland, when ascending The English throne in 1689.

George III's wife, Queen Charlotte, kept Pugs. These dogs were of German origin. Queen Victoria, who loved all
dogs, was particularly fond of Bully, a fawn Pug, who was given to her by Prince Albert and lived many happy
years with his mistress. In more recent times the breed found favor with Duke and Duchess of Windsor and
were their constant companions for many years. During her lifetime the Duchess owned twelve of these dogs.
Pugs are best known for their desire for human contact and affection. They were bred for this express purpose,
having no other job to do but be a companion to us. They display no natural aptitude for hunting or herding and
do not dig. Pugs and children were meant for each other. They are outgoing, cheerful, amusing, mischievious,
sensitive and extremely charming, winning over many unsuspecting people in their daily rounds. The Pugs'
expressive face allows it to easily communicate with it's owners; there's no mistaking that soulful "give me a
treat" look, or the more urgent "let me out - I gotta go!" face.
The Pug is the largest member of the Toy Group and should be decidedly square in appearance, with a round
head and plenty of substance. Pugs should give the impression of a 'lot of dog in a small package'.

Grooming is minimal; however, Pugs shed all year and have two major sheds a year in addition. Don't get a Pug
if you suffer from allergies to pets. If your space is limited, a Pug makes an excellent pet in an apartment or small
house, and his exercise needs can be confined to frequent short walks or a small back yard.
The colors of Pugs can be described as black and fawn - with fawn being broken down into silver fawn and
apricot fawn, with black faces. Silver fawn is extremely rare and looks cold as the white or silver of moonlight,
with apricot fawn giving one the impression of warmth because of the yellow or cream cast to the coat. The fawn
colors should be as clear as possible with no black hairs mixed in with the fawn giving a 'smutty' cast to the coat.
The black Pugs should be glossy jet black with no tinge of rust or fawn in the coat.
Care of the Pug is minimal. Daily light brushing to keep down the hair and cleansing of the over nose wrinkle at
least once a week, sometimes more often depending on the size of the wrinkle. A soft moist cloth is all that is
needed to clean the nose wrinkle.

Pugs belong to the brachycephalic group of dogs (short muzzled or flat faced) so it is extremely important to keep
in mind that these dogs do not have the cooling system that other longer nosed breeds have, and can suffer
immensely in the heat. Many Pugs die every year from heat exhaustion. They must be guarded against the heat
and kept where there is shade and cool temperatures. The Pug is an indoor dog and couldn't live outdoors in the
cold.
Because Pugs love their food so much, you will have to make sure that the diet is strictly enforced. No people
food except vegetables and fruit. A dog food that is wheat and corn free is the best.

The Pug's most famous behavior is the 'Pug Scoot'. This is running in crazed circles with ears back and tail
tucked between their legs. Once you see it, you won't forget it! Pugs love to sleep on your feet or on your lap and
they are addictive. Few people can restrict themselves to just one!
Pugs are generally sturdy and healthy, but some potential health problems have been associated in the breed
including, but not limited to, collapsing Larynx, collapsing and small trachea, demodectic mange, elongated soft
palate, entropion, hemivertebra, hernias, hip/elbow dysplasia, luxating patellas, pigmentary keratitis, Pug Dog
Encephalitis (PDE), and seizure disorders. For such an ancient breed, there are very few attributable genetic
disorders.
If you want a pet that will give you unconditional love, companionship, and long life (10 - 15 years), then you
deserve a Pug because these little dogs can give you all that!
