Pugs look cute and adorable! Are you an
animal lover and want to bring home a pug? If yes, then it is essential that
you learn to recognise the original pug breed. Many pet lovers often in the
excitement of bringing home their favourite pug overlook the features that
define the original pug breed and you can easily understand pure breed pug.
Discussed below are some of the
features of the original pug breed:
· Appearance
– Typically, the
pug’s shape is square. You can measure the height from ground to the shoulders.
You will find that the measurement is somewhat similar to the length right from
the rear to the chest front.
· Face
and head – The
original pug breed's head is round from side. It's square when you look at the
pug from the front. The downward section of his black velvet ears will always fall
to the level of the eye. The expression of the eyes is mostly soft, and the
eyes are round, dark and big. Pugs usually look animated and excited.
Furthermore, the muzzle or the snout of
the pug is broad. When the mouth gets closed, the tongue or teeth shouldn’t be
seen. Also, the Pug’s face wrinkles need to fold back to his nose and also add
the required character to his overall face.
· Chest,
neck and top line - The pug
need to have a thick and robust neck to provide support to its huge round head.
Are you wondering what a top-line is? It gets best defined as an
imaginary line right from atop the Pug's shoulder going to where the tail
starts. It needs to be at a level and very straight and shouldn't dip in the
middle. The pug needs to have a full and broad chest as well.
· Coat
– It is essential for
the pug coat to be glossy, fine, short and smooth. The black and fawn pugs have
a similar coat.
These are the major features that you
need to be aware of to identify an original pug breed! Refer to these traits
when you decide to bring home your pug.
