Etymology
The word 'pug' dates back to the 16th century and is believed to have originated from the Latin word 'puca', which means 'goblin' or 'witch'. This early usage reflects the dog's mischievous personality. Pugs were bred in China, where they were kept as companions by the ruling families. The breed was introduced to Europe in the 16th century, quickly gaining popularity among the aristocracy. The Pug's distinctive features, such as their curled tail and short muzzle, have made them a beloved breed worldwide. Their friendly disposition and adaptability for living in small spaces make them ideal pets for urban environments.
