The Pug dog is probably named Pug after the Old English word Pugg, which means a playful little devil or monkey. That name fits the Pug, as they have a winning personality that has aided in its migration around the word. Originally breed in China, it later traveled to Japan, other places around the globe, and eventually to England. From there, it came to America. The American Kennel Club officially recognized it as a breed in 1885. The Pug Dog Club of America was started in 1931, and the breed has grown in popularity ever since that time. It is one of the favorite breeds around the world.

The term Pug has likely been derived from the Old English word of Pugg, which is an affectionate term for a playful little devil or monkey. That name fits this dog, as it is very playful. It is very popular because of its personality, having originated in China, also showing up in Japan and other countries and eventually to England, where it later came to the United States.

Pugs prefer the company of humans, though they get along well with other dogs and other pets. They really love to be with their owner, and will usually be right at their owner's feet or on their owner's lap. These loyal dogs get concerned and even a bit jealous or anxious if they aren't given enough of their owner's attention. They also do not respond well to being harshly disciplined, as they are sensitive to their owner's tone of voice. Often they will do things to get their owner's attention, or to get them to laugh aloud. They are considered to be little clowns.

Pugs truly love their owners, and are one of the most loyal dogs. They want a lot of attention from their owners, and tend to get jealous of they don't get enough. They also can be anxious or agitated if they are ignored. They also love other dogs and pets, and children, as they are such social dogs. They don't like it if their owner uses harsh punishment, as they are sensitive to the tone of their owner's voice. They like to make their owners laugh, and they are usually found right with their owner, in their lap or at their feet.

Having so much energy it would make sense for them to enjoy walks. They do, but can't get much outdoor activity, as they have short noses and tend to have trouble breathing with excessive exercise. They are also very sensitive to hot and cold temperatures.

If you are thinking of getting another family pet, consider the Pug dog. It will be a good, lovable family pet, eager to please and with a wonderful disposition. It will be excited to be with a family to play with, and to entertain with antics to get attention. They are such wonderful companion dogs that get along great with children, visitors to your home and all sorts of other pets.

Altogether, the Pug dog can be a wonderful companion dog. It gets along well with humans and animal pets, making it an easy addition to any family. It will come to you ready to bond with its owner, and be fiercely loyal to that owner for a lifetime. It will be eager to please, have a lot of energy, and will often entertain you (or your friends) for the attention. While it isn't one of the easier breeds to train, it is playful and its clownish personality makes up for the lack of ease in training.

If you think you'd like to get a Pug, consider getting one as a puppy, when they are tiny and adorable, with the wrinkles in their face already. There are many breeders that can sell you one with good breeding and that is healthy. Buying a Pug as a puppy ensures that it will be your loyal companion.
