A pug is anxious to please,anxious to learn and anxious to love. His biggest requirement is that you love him back. A lean, leggy Pug and a dog with short legs and a long body are equally objectionable. The eyes are dark in color, very large, bold and prominent, globular in shape, soft and solicitous in expression, very lustrous, and when excited, full of fire. The ears are thin, small, soft, like black velvet.
Preference is given to the latter.
The wrinkles are large and deep. The muzzle is short, blunt, square, but not up-faced. Bite - a Pug's bite should be very slightly undershot. The neck is slightly arched. It is strong, thick, and with enough length to carry the head proudly.
