There came the Hall’s Heelers. The dogs has caught the attention of Sydney breeders and eventually changed the name to Australian Cattle Dog.

"Dogs Welcome"

I think every human should get a chance to read this!!!!

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a
Midwest town he planned to visit on his
Vacation. He wrote: I would very much like
To bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed
And very well behaved. Would you be willing
To permit me to keep him in my room with
Me at night?"
An immediate reply came from the hotel
Owner, who wrote: SIR: "I've been operating
This hotel for many years. In all that time, I've
Never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes,
Silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never
Had to evict a dog in the middle of the night
For being drunk and disorderly. And I've never
Had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed,
Your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your
Dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay
Here, too."

History of Pug Dog breed

The pug has grown its breed before 400 BC. It is believed that its origin is China. Pugs were known as dear companion of the royalties. The wrinkles in its forehead will be checked if there’s a formation of “W” which means Prince in Chinese characters. The sailors from Dutch East India were the first to bring the breed to Holland.

The breed reached America after the Civil War. By 1885, they are being shown throughout the country. They became less popular as the other imported breeds. The AKC showed that in 1900, only few breeders are coming to register. It was in 1931, finally when a group of breeders from East Coast decided to form a Pug Club and it was then recognized by the American Kennel Club.
