The History of the Pug

The pug has been around for thousands of years. They can be found in art from as far back as Ancient Egypt. They were the “poor man’s dog” during the Dark Ages, due to their small size and ability to live in cramped conditions. They were also used as hunting dogs and were brought to England with the Normans in the 11th century. They are now one of the most popular companion dogs.Pugs were first bred in China as hunting dogs in about 2500 BC. They were then bred with other dogs in Europe and Asia in the 16th century. They were given their name, “puffing dog,” because the breed was good at making their owners puff up with pride. The word “puff” comes from the sound that the dog made when they were excited.
