Adorable Pug Mixes You’ll Want to Bring Home

Pugs are one of the most distinctive-looking dog breeds in the world, and Pug mixes are the proof! With their small square bodies, flattened faces, curled-up tails, and big eyes, Pugs are definitely one of the cutest dog breeds. Originally bred as companions to ancient Chinese emperors, pugs later became mascots of Holland’s royal House of Orange when one apparently saved the prince’s life by barking to alert him as Spanish troops sneaked up to attack. Pugs are heroes! However, purebred Pugs can be prone to genetic health issues, some of which can be eliminated or minimized by crossbreeding them. Many Pug mixes retain the big eyes and adorable neck wrinkles of the Pug, whilst often benefiting from longer snouts (for easier breathing) and the expanded gene pool purebreds often need. The result is Pug mixes that make for some of the cutest small dog breeds and big dog breeds. These adorable Pug pictures are further proof of their charming good looks.
