The pug has short, smooth hair that may be black or fawn in color. It has a deeply wrinkled face, with a short muzzle, big, bulging brown eyes, and black ears. If the pug is fawn-colored, it should also have a black mask on its muzzle.
The pug is devoted, faithful, playful, and charming. It lives to please people and makes a great companion and family dog.
