Pug puppies are playful with children, they get along well with

done with gentleness.
Pug puppies are believed to be from China, perhaps a relation
to Tibetan Mastiffs, brought to Holland first and then to Britain
in the 1500’s- 1700’s. In fact, legend has it that the pug was
a prized possession of the Emperors of China. They are generally
silver and black in color, with a black mask. Pictures of pug
puppies show the beautiful blend of black through the silver,
especially down their back, which is most characteristic of pug
puppies. Black pug puppies and fawn colored ones can be found as
well. Pug puppies belong in the ‘toy dog’ category because of
their size, growing to be about 10 inches tall and 15 lbs in
weight. They generally need more exercise than other small dogs.
Pug puppies adjust well to living in an apartment, as long as
they’re allowed regular walks outside for exercise, fresh air
and stimulation.
Pug puppies make a noise resembling a pig, and they've been
known to snore. Their short wrinkled nose and stocky little body
make them a very recognizable breed. The word “Pug” actually
means “closed fisted” or “clenched fist” and refers to the
tightened, drawn in face of a pug, kind of like a closed fist.
Whatever the description, all Pug owners know that these dogs
are loyal and true. Pug puppies are small and compact but full of
fun and energy.
