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.
