The origin of the Pug have sparked much debate over the years. Some believed that the breed was native to the Far East, while others thought it was in Europe. Currently, it is widely accepted that the Pug had its origin in China, from where it went to Japan and later to Europe. It is also quite probable that the flat Pug, crossed with other European dolichocephalic (long skull) breeds, is the ancestor of many other brachycephalic (round skull) breeds.
The Pug has the typical temperament of a companion dog. He is loving, cheerful and playful.
These dogs are easy to socialize, however, although they are playful, they do not cope well with intense games and the antics of young children.In general, these dogs do not present behavioral problems, but they can develop separation anxiety with some ease. Pugs need constant company.
