History of the Pug
Pugs were bred to sit on the laps of Chinese emperors during the Shang dynasty in East China.
The Pug's popularity then spread into Tibet, where monks commonly kept them. They then spread to Japan and Europe.
The breed was first imported to Europe in the late 16th and 17th centuries by merchants and crews from the Dutch East Indies Trading Company. During these centuries, the breed was commonly used as scent hounds. They were, also, used by the military to help track animals and people; they were employed as the guard's dogs.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, spread through France before coming to the United States.
Books about Pugs
Pug Temperament
Pugs are sensitive to the tone of a human voice, so harsh punishment is generally unnecessary.
While Pugs usually get along well with other dogs and pets, they generally prefer the company of humans, requiring a good deal of human attention.
In general, they are very attentive dogs, always at their owner's feet, in their lap, or following them from room to room.

Pug Health
Because of the compact nature of their breathing passageways, Pugs can have problems such as difficulty breathing.
Combining the fact that dogs regulate their body temperatures by their tongues with their breathing problems, Pugs may have trouble controlling their temperature.
Because they were bred to be indoor pets only, and must not be left outside in temperatures over 80 degrees Fahrenheit, despite loving to "sunbathe", you should never leave a Pug in hot temperatures for too long.
Pugs can be prone to obesity, so you must make sure to provide regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Pugs can also suffer from a chronic form of granulomatous meningoencephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, which is inherited, and hemivertebrae, both tend to result in euthanasia.
They tend to suffer the "reverse sneeze," which is not harmful to the dog, but may scare him. You can relax the dog and rub on its throat gently.
With proper care Pugs can live between 10 to 15 years.
