Breed history

The Pug is an ancient breed that traces its origins back over 2,000 years to China, where it was bred as a companion dog for royalty and nobility. Known for their distinctive wrinkled face and curly tail, Pugs were highly prized and often kept as lapdogs for Chinese emperors. They later made their way to Europe in the 16th century, becoming popular among European aristocracy, particularly in Holland, where they became a symbol of the House of Orange. Today, the Pug is beloved worldwide for its charming personality and endearing appearance.
