The Pug is a small, ancient breed of dog with distinctive physical features, including a wrinkly, short-muzzled face and a curled tail. Originating in China, they were popularized in Western Europe by the House of Orange and the House of Stuart, becoming favorites of English royalty, particularly Queen Victoria. Known for their sociable and gentle nature, Pugs are often described as charming and affectionate companions. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please, making them suitable for families and owners looking for a loyal companion. Despite their laid-back nature, they do require consistent training and socialization.
