2016 Pugs Wall Calendar

The Pug is one of the oldest breeds of dogs and are known to have been around since 400 BC. China is the earliest known source for Pugs, where they were pets in Buddhist monasteries in Tibet. The breed next appeared in Japan and Europe, becoming popular when Prince William II became the King of England. He owned Pugs and they became the fashionable breed for generations.

The Pug's reason for living is to be near their people and to please them. Their sturdiness makes them a family favorite. The Pug is well described by the phrase "multum in parvo" which means "a lot of dog in a small space." They are recognized for their even-tempers, playful personalities, and their outgoing, loving dispositions. This square and cobby breed comes in fawn, silver fawn, apricot fawn or black, with a well-defined "mask" on its muzzle.
