Pugs are very intelligent, sociable and faithful dogs. They are not aggressive, nor they bark much. They feel great in the company of all family members and visiting guests. They stand out with the massive structure of the body, short paws, beige fur and a black, almost flat muzzle. A charming dog with a wrinkled face and big eyes has been an inspiration for artists for centuries. Pugs – favorite dogs of Katherine the Great, Marquise de Pompadour and Empress Josephine - were eternalized on hundreds of paintings.
