| Introduction | Do you know ?? The word "pug" may have derived from the Latin Pugnus (fist); the Pug's face can look like a clenched fist. The breed is often summarized as multum in parvo ("much in little"), in reference to the Pug's great personality, despite its small size. Pug is bred to adorn the laps of the Chinese emperors during the Shang dynasty in East China. The Pug's popularity spread to Tibet, where they were mainly kept by monks, and then went onto Japan, and finally Europe. Pugs are very sociable, and usually very stubborn. Yet they are playful, charming, clever and are known to succeed in dog obedience skills. Pugs are sensitive to the tone of a human voice, so harsh punishment is generally unnecessary. While Pugs mostly get along well with other dogs and pets, they generally prefer the company of humans and require a great deal of human attention. |
