The Pug-Dog - Its History and Origin

The Pug is an ancient toy breed of Chinese origin, a compact and comical companion that charmed the courts of Europe. In The Pug-Dog, Wilhelmina Swainston-Goodger traces the breed from its earliest origins to the modern day.

First published in 1930, it draws on early sources to follow the breed's development, its type and character, and the people who shaped it.

Long sought after by collectors, this scarce study is restored here in an affordable modern edition for enthusiasts and breed historians.

This edition features:

• A detailed history of the Pug from its earliest origins. • Examines the breed's development, type and character. • Draws on rare early sources and illustrations. • Faithfully republished in a modern edition.
