Pug, breed of toy dog that probably originated in China and was introduced to England near the end of the 17th century by Dutch traders. The pug has a short muzzle and a tightly curled tail. It is a squarely built, muscular dog, with a large head, prominent, dark eyes, and small, drooping ears. At maturity it stands 10 to 11 inches (25.5 to 28 cm) and weighs about 14 to 18 pounds (6 to 8 kg).
The Pug saw a great surge of popularity in the 1950âs. By 1998, over 21,000 Pugs were registered, and they continue to thrive today. Even though Pugs were accepted into the AKC in 1885, it was not until 1981 that a Pug won Westminster Kennel Club Show. His name was Ch Dhandys Favorite Woodchuck.t was not until the middle of the next century that, according to The Oxford English Dictionary, the term pug came to mean âa dwarf breed of dog resembling a bull-dog in miniatureâ. Pugs are believed to have originated in the Orient, namely China, where they were documented by Confucius as early as 551 BC.
