Pug is a breed of miniature dogs that came to us from China. Their closest relative is the pikinis. Even in ancient Chinese manuscripts, two types of dogs are reported: Ha Pa and Luo Jie. This was the ancestors of the pikines and pug we know today. What is their main difference? The length of the coat. The other characteristics are too similar.
For a long time in China pugs were considered royal dogs. The wrinkles on their faces resembled hieroglyphs, and the wrinkles themselves were called the imperial sign - this brought them closer to the gods.
Then the dog came to Holland, where for some reason it was called the Chinese mastiff. For a long time the pug was wandering around Europe, until in the 80s of the last century he got to Russia.
Dogs that look like pugs
Dogs of small breeds such as pug can be divided into three types. Terriers - pugs - a variety of the most common. They have a straight elongated torso and a long neck. Pug-bulldog - the owner of a wide torso and a special arrangement of the limbs and shoulder blades. For example, looking at your feet, you might think that they are knitted with an invisible thread. And, at last, the third kind is shar pei (unacceptable type). These are full, forcibly fattened pugs. They are covered with folds, like shar pei.
