The breed has a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colours, most often fawn or black, and a compact square body with well-developed muscles. While the pugs that are depicted in eighteenth century prints tend to be long and lean, modern breed preferences are for a square cobby body, a compact form, a deep chest, and well-developed muscle. The tail normally curls tightly over the hip. This breed is often described by the Latin phrase multum in parvo, or 'much in little' or 'a lot of dog in a small space', alluding to the Pug's remarkable and charming personality, despite its small size.
