Where do Pugs originate from?
The origin of the Pug as a breed probably begins in ancient China, although it certainly didn’t look the same as today’s dogs. Dogs known as “short mouthed” dogs are described in writings that date to about 600 B.C. and were probably the forerunners of the modern breed that we call the Pug. Emperor Kang Hsi, about A.D. 950, commissioned a dictionary of all the Chinese characters, and in it there are two references which could describe the Pug: “dogs with short legs” and “a dog with a short head.” By the 1300s there were three main types of dogs that are identifiable as founders of breeds of today: the Pekingese, the Japanese Spaniel, and the Pug.
