OUR PUGS
The smallest dogs of our family but the largest personality. Pugs are an amazing breed of dog. I know they get such bad press but we have had nothing but joy with our Pugs.
Our Pugs are what’s classified as Recognised colours which is fawn. We do not breed black pugs or any other colour pug. A recognised colour can be shown in the UK show ring. Unrecognised colours are colours which have come about by cross breeding.
UK recognised colours are: Fawn with dark mask, Black, Apricot, Silver.
The fawns should have a fawn coat with dark ears and dark mask. If the fawn dog you are looking at has pale ears or pale mask it is indeed a cross of colours.
Unrecognised colours carry more health problems as they are bred for colour not good health.
Unrecognised colours are Panda pugs, Pink pugs, White Pugs, Platinum pugs, chocolate pugs, chocolate and tan pugs, Merle pugs, or any other colour.
The Pugs also have another feature which is a curly tail. If the Pug has a straight tail at 8 weeks it is not a well bred pug. A pugs tail goes to a double curl, and when it sleeps their tails go out straight. They also go out straight when they have zoomis in the garden, but any other time its curled up over the back.
When Fawn pugs are born you could mistake them for black, after they have dried they still look an odd colour. They must have an undertone of black to create the black mask and black ears. By 6 weeks they have turned to fawn and the older they get the better colour the coat becomes.

Long haired pugs. They do look quite odd when you see them, and some breeders demand a few thousand for them, however the most long haired pugs are the introduction of a shitzu dog breed, so not genuinely Long haired. But their has been in history a fluke gene where the Pug has been born with long hair. They are hard to keep the coat tangle free. I suppose another breed you could say they look like is a pekingese. Having groomed pekes, I can say that most people struggle with the coat and often have them shaved off fully to cope with the dog hair.
