Pugs are a popular breed of dog that have only become more popular in recent times. Their popularity can be attributed to a variety of factors, from use in media to their cute (to some people) appearance and playful nature. This article will briefly review the history of the Pug and review some of their physical and personality characteristics that have made them the popular breed they are today.

Records of pug-like dogs date as far back as ancient Chinese times when Chinese sovereigns would use them to decorate their laps or other parts of their manors. They were imported to Europe during the 16th or 17th centuries by Dutch merchants. In Europe, they were a fairly popular breed amongst nobles and royalty. By the nineteenth century, Pugs had made their way to the United States where they became popular show and house dogs.

Whereas Pugs used to be more lean and agile, modern Pugs are much more compact and cobby. Modern Pugs often experience an array of health problems, due largely in part to the structure of their skulls. They have short snouts and breathing passage ways, which frequently causes breathing problems. If allowed to live a sedentary lifestyle, they will also often develop problems with obesity.

Pugs are fun and funny dogs. They have been called the comedians of the dog world. They are typically of an average intelligence, and they tend to get along better with humans than with other dogs. They require a fair amount of human attention and will become distressed if left alone for too long.

Pugs are a funny and playful breed of dog that can make an excellent addition to a home that is willing to give them time, love and attention.
