What pugs looked like before intense selective breeding

The pug, with its distinctive round face, curly tail, and playful disposition, is a breed that has captured the hearts of many dog lovers around the world. However, the pug we know today is far from the regal and robust dog it once was. Over a century of intensive breeding has left this beloved breed with grossly distorted features and a litany of health problems, prompting experts to call for urgent action to restore the pug to its original form.

Originally hailing from China, pugs made their way to Europe in the 16th century, quickly becoming the favored pets of European royalty. They were cherished by historical figures like William of Orange, who credited his pug with saving his life, and Empress Josephine, who used her pug, Fortune, to carry secret messages during the French Revolution. Even Queen Victoria, an ardent pug enthusiast, owned as many as 38 pugs during her reign.
