Pug Dog BreedThe Pug Dog breed is one of many popular Toy dog breeds group. They were bred to be companions as early as 2500 years ago in the Far East. Over time they made their way to Holland and Britain through trade. They were most popular among Royalty.

They have short, glossy hair, triangular ears that lie flat, a small tail, bright eyes, a tiny snout on a round head.
