The Pug (Chinese: 哈巴狗 Hǎbagǒu) is a dog breed available in Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats.
Breed Information[]
The Pug first originated in China around the time of the Shang Dynasty, around 400 BC, and was later popularized in the Netherlands. The wrinkles on its face that give it a cute appearance to some, but an ugly appearance to others is caused by its "pushed in" snout. Perhaps one of their best features is their adaptability: Pugs can learn to love any lifestyle.

Trivia[]
- Pugs are brachycephalic, which means they have an abnormally short snout. This is also consistent in other animals in the games, such as the French Bulldog and Longhair Pointed Cat.
