The Pug was present in many reach houses and regal courts during the history. In 1572 the Pug became the official dog of Orange House Holland after it saved William’s life, the Orange Prince of Holland. In 1790the Pug became Josephine’s (Napoleon’s wife) company dog. When Napoleon was imprisoned, the Pug helped Joshepine to communicate with him. They hid the letters in a Pugs collar.

Despite it is an old breed, it didn’t suffered big modifications. The pug is a small dog (it is the biggest small dog if we can say so), with a big head, strong body and it is cobby. The head is massive and round, with short and black nose. The eyes are prominent and expressive. Its back is short and legs are straight and strong and this offer him an elegant movement.

The height is 30-36 cm for male and 25-30 for female, and total wight is 6-10kg (6-8kg ).

It is very easy to train a Pug. They are very intelligent and playful. They want to be part of family and they can become jealous if they proprietary ignore them. They don’t need drastic punishments  because the pug is very sensible  to voice tonality. You can easy keep a pug in an apartment, because they don’t really need a court. It is a guardian dog, very devoted but not very active (but we can’t say it is inactive). The Pug don’t yelp to much.

If the time for movement is assured by proprietary daily, the Pug’s health will be great. The love games, and one hour daily is enough  for them.

This breed is predisposed to cold and they don’t like if the climate is to cold or to warm. Due to its short nose, a pug can suffer chronic affections.

Beagle’s origin date from 19th century when people use them to hunt rabbits. The breed appeared in British Islands and is believed it is the result of the crossbreeding among Harrier and some others hunter dog breeds.

Beagle’s are hunter dogs with small waist, short hair and long ears. Fell’s color is a combination of black, white and brown. The head is almost flat and is round. Beagle looks like a small English Foxhound.

The Beagle has an even temper and gentle disposition. Described in several breed standards as “merry” they are amiable and not generally aggressive or timid. Beagle enjoy company, and although they may initially be standoffish with strangers they are easily won over. Beagle make poor guard dogs for this reason, although their tendency to bark or howl when confronted with the unfamiliar makes them good watch dogs; in a 1985 study conducted by Ben and Lynette Hart the Beagle was given the highest excitability rating along with the West Highland White, Yorkshire Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Cairn Terrier, Fox Terrier and Terrier. Beagle are intelligent, but as a result of being bred for the long chase are single-minded and determined, which can make them hard to train. They are generally obedient but can be difficult to recall once they have picked up a scent and are easily distracted by smells around them. Beagle do not generally feature in obedience trials; while they are alert, respond well to food-reward training, and are eager to please, they are easily bored or distracted.
