History of Pugs

The origin is somewhat uncertain, as is the case with many other breeds. The most accepted explanation is that come from China, and that could have kinship relations with the Pekingese . Later they reached the European continent, to the Royal family of Belgium.

However, it seems, the name Carlin derives from   an 18th century Italian actor named Carlin , who played a Harlequin that they thought looked like this breed of animal, due to the mask he wore on his face.

While Pug means mountain, he believes that the name was given to the breed because part of the animal’s anatomy is very particular.

Main characteristics of the Carlinos

• They usually measure some 28 centimeters in their adult age and reach a weight between 6 and 8 kilos, but, as we said, they have a great tendency to get fat,  so it is necessary to take care of their diet and be aware of the amount of food they eat.

If they gain a lot of weight it is important to consult your veterinarian.

• They love to play and have you as their best friend;

• keep your things and are always on the alert.

Why are Pugs great as a first dog?

As we were talking about at the beginning, Pugs have an especially nice character that greatly facilitates coexistence . They have little difficulty adjusting to a new home, and they don’t need to get much exercise, so owners don’t have to invest a lot of time in taking them out.

Of course, being your first dog you don’t have ample experience in not only taking care of but also training your new pet.

You will have the great advantage of being able to teach all the things you want him to learn. It will be a very pleasant process unlike what happens with other more disobedient types of dogs.

How to train Pugs

As in any other education class, by limits to the dog it’s fundamental. To do this, you first have to be clear what you want those limits to be. For example, determining where he goes to sleep, what room he can go into, or how he should behave with strangers.

Once you get clear, hold firm and educate him with care . It is essential to understand that the key to a good relationship with our Pug and, in general, with any dog, is the education we give them.

If we do it properly we will make everything a success, while, if we don’t take it seriously , you know what the consequences will be.
