The
black
Pug
is
a
recent
production.
He
was
brought
into
notice
in
1886,
when
Lady
Brassey
exhibited
some
at
the
Maidstone
Show.
By
whom
he
was
manufactured
is
not
a
matter
of
much
importance,
as
with
the
fawn
Pug
in
existence
there
was
not
much
difficulty
in
crossing
it
with
the
shortest-faced
black
dog
of
small
size
that
could
be
found,
and
then
back
again
to
the
fawn,
and
the
thing
was
done.
Fawn
and
black
Pugs
are
continually
being
bred
together,
and,
as
a
rule,
if
judgment
is
used
in
the
selection
of
suitable
crosses,
the
puppies
are
sound
in
colour,
whether
fawn
or
black.
In
every
respect
except
markings
the
black
Pug
should
be
built
on
the
same
lines
as
the
fawn,
and
be
a
cobby
little
dog
with
short
back
and
well-developed
hind-quarters,
wide
in
skull,
with
square
and
blunt
muzzle
and
tightly-curled
tail.
