The Pug has, however, now fallen from his high estate as a ladies' pet, and his place has been usurped bv the Toy Pomeranian, the Pel<inese, and Japanese, all of which are now more highly thought of in the drawing- room or boudoir. But the Pug has an ad^'antage over all these dogs as, from the fact that he has a shorter coat, he is cleaner and does not require so much attention.

At that period tlie black variety was not known. The ^^'il- loughby Pug was duller in colour than the Morrison, which was of a brighter, ruddier hue, but the two varieties have since been so much interbred that they are now im- distingm'shable, and the fact that the\' were ever familiarly recognised as either \^"i)- loughbys or Morrisons is almost entirely forgotten. A " fawn " Pug may now be either silver grev or apricot, and equally valuable. Whatever may ha\'e been the history of the Pug as regards its nativity, it had not been long introduced into England before it became a popular favourite as a pet dog, and it shared with the King Charles Spaniel the affection of the great ladies of the land.
