Description: I think the pug has one of the most colorful of histories of all the dog breeds that I’ve been reading about lately. It’s pretty exotic that the origins are in the Orient, but then the amount of travel and the number of stories that have accompanied him throughout history are something else! Did you know that in China they sometimes had ranks bestowed upon them? I bet they were treated better than some of the subjects, although I don’t, of course have any personal certainty. But I do know that most people didn’t have servants waiting on them hand and foot, as did the pug! Oddly enough, the pug’s popularity began to wane in China after the 12th century, and one doesn’t hear a lot about them there for many years. We do have the Chinese to thank for the purity of the breed. Once the dog made its way to Europe there were some mixing of the breed with other dogs, diluting the original breed unnecessarily, because it was already just about perfect! When the pug came to England with the grandson of William the Silent who married Mary, he took the throne in the company of quite a few pugs. Thus the little dog became a popular breed in Merry Old England as well. This sterling silver pug head charm focuses on the face, and what a face it is! Another very cute face is the impish westie silver charm. Even more charms abound at the 925 dog charms home. |
