Pugs are known (not just by their snort) but by
their two colors (black or fawn), curly tail, short legs with a longer body, and
a “mask” around their face. Pugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Below are pictures of our grumble where you can notice their differences (and of course how cute they are)

Pugs are categorized as charming, loving, mischievous, and
even-tempered but they are so much more. In my experience our pugs are also loyal, playful, and have their own interesting personalities. In history Pugs are one of the oldest dog breeds. They have been around since before 400 B.C. Pugs originated in China, and
the first known pug pet was the pet of the Buddhist monasteries.
Pugs then started
showing up in Japan, and next Europe. Pugs were a favorite within royal
courts, and overtime were bred to be lap dogs of royalty. It’s no surprise that pugs are
still extremely loyal and loving lap dogs. If you have a pug in your home then you have experienced this kind of
unconditional loyalty and love. If not, I definitely recommend adopting one!
There is truly no love quite like #puglove!
