 An alert little Pug saved the life of Prince William of Orange. The dog's insistent barking woke the sleeping Prince and warned of the approach of invading Spaniards. The Pug was recognized as the court's official dog and the Prince's tomb bears an engraving of William and his beloved pet. This breed, as it was first shown in 1861, was always fawn in color; a cross-breeding with some black Pugs imported from China in 1877 introduced the darker shades into the breed. The Pug has not changed very much from the first standard, which was written in the early 1880s. More information about the dog breed Pug.  |
