Victorian England took on pugs as the latest rage in canine fashion and many pugs can be spotted in paintings of that era. Napoleon's wife had a pet pug, and the duke and duchess of Windsor had a pug as a royal companion. In 1572, a pug sounded the alarm that saved Prince William from the approaching Spanish soldiers, and the breed forever after was tied to the royal House of Orange. The little dogs with the round heads and expressive facial wrinkles were then transported to Holland via trading ships of the Dutch East India Company. While the pug is often associated with Holland, the breed originated in China, probably bred down from one of the local mastiff-type dogs. A quick daily grooming, even a swipe with a hound mitt, usually suffices for the coat and a gentle wiping with a wet cloth for the face. Grooming is important, both for the shedding from the dense coat and to keep facial wrinkles clean. Pugs should be socialized to keep that outgoing temperament, and they do well with other pets. Despite their heroic alarm years ago, they are not usually great watchdogs, preferring instead to greet newcomers with a wagging tail. Pugs do best with some daily exercise to help with their weight problems. Pugs are fairly robust and often live to 14 or 15 years of age. The prominent eyes are easily injured and care must be taken to keep them moist. Pugs do tend to snore, again a result of the short muzzle.

With the short muzzle, they do not do well in hot, humid weather and must be observed carefully for heatstroke. Pugs are extremely easy to keep and have a serious tendency to become obese unless their diet and exercise are watched carefully. True to their grouping, they are good companion dogs. They enjoy company and can be quite affectionate. Pugs tend to get along well with other dogs and are sturdy enough to get along with children. These are fairly laid-back dogs, not usually given to extensive barking, digging or chewing. Pugs can be stubborn but normally want to please. The breed motto is 'multum in parvo,' meaning a lot in a little, with plenty of dog in a small package. They are a bit more serious, with a dry sense of humor.

Pugs are not the lively socialites that some of the toy breeds are. All but the black dogs have a dark mask and ears with a trace of darkening down the back. Colors can range from apricot to fawn, silver and black. They have a short, but very dense double coat. The vertical wrinkle on the forehead is said to resemble the Chinese character for 'prince' and thus known as the 'prince mark.' The eyes protrude somewhat, making them prone to trauma. Pugs are known for their large, round heads, with the shortened muzzles and extensive forehead wrinkles. Pugs are the sturdiest dogs of the toy group, befitting their mastiff heritage.

They are square dogs with substantial limbs. They range in height from 10 to 11 inches and in weight from 14 to 18 pounds (six to eight kilograms). Pugs are members of the toy group despite their solid appearance.
