5 Interesting Facts About Pugs!

  • Pugs are one of the oldest dog breeds in the world - they were kept as companions by Chinese emperors as far back as 700 BC and were considered so precious that they were guarded by soldiers.
  • Their Latin motto is 'multum in parvo' meaning 'a lot in a little' - a perfect description of a breed that packs an enormous personality into a remarkably compact body.
  • Pugs almost certainly saved the life of William of Orange - according to legend, his pug Pompey warned him of approaching Spanish assassins in 1572, cementing the pug's place as the official dog of the Dutch royal family.
  • Their curly tail is actually a sign of good health in the breed - the tighter and more symmetrical the curl, the better. A completely straight pug tail would be considered a fault in show dogs.
  • Pugs are extremely social and suffer genuinely if left alone - they were bred exclusively as companions for thousands of years and have an unusually strong emotional attachment to their human family.
