The Pug has a cute appearance, but the look is hoo and our Chinese earth dog is not the same, so want to know the knowledge of the Pug? Today’s pet network to take a look at the origin of this dog knowledge! Pug is not a general dog, pug originated in China, in ancient times was the nobleman’s pet in the court, very popular in the Song Dynasty. Later spread to all parts of China, Tibetan monks also kept pugs in the monasteries (details). According to legend, in ancient times, pugs were also used as gifts and played a very powerful role in the diplomacy of various countries. Dogs as messengers which is, isn’t it rare, unheard of and unseen? China has been trading with the West since as early as 200 B.C. during the Han Dynasty. China established trade relations with Portugal in 1516, with Spain in 1575, and with the Netherlands in 1604. Under the Kangxi Emperor Peter the Great sent an ambassador to China, and it is said that the Chinese envoy who was in charge of welcoming the Russian mission at that time was very fond of dogs himself and had quite a few of them, and since the Russians were also very interested in such funny little dogs, one or two were given as gifts when the Russian mission left. But it was the Portuguese and Spanish sailors and some Dutch merchants who also realized that this small dog had a wide market in Europe that really introduced the pug to Europe. At that time, pug breeding had been the exclusive right of the royal family, and according to the information, these people even used some illegal means to lure the dog out of the palace, and some foreigners were punished and imprisoned for this. Subsequently, this happy little dog became the apple of many European monarchs’ eye and started a boom in the British upper classes to raise pugs. Finally, we remind all pooper scoopers that, according to research speculation, the earliest pugs at that time were even larger than the current ones, with longer and more slender limbs, while the modern pugs we see now should be said to be mainly transformed by the British part.
