THE PUG. 



455 



specimen all round, who has proved himself 

 an exceedingly good stud dog. Amongst 

 other prominent exhibitors and breeders 

 of black Pugs are Mrs. Raleigh Grey who 

 in Rhoda owned one of the best females 

 of the breed Miss H. Cooper, Mrs. 

 Recketts, and Mrs. Kingdon. 



The Mopshund is the name given in 

 Germany to the Pug, and there is on the 

 Continent a long-haired variety of doubt- 

 ful ancestry. In France it is called the 

 Carlin a poil long, and in most respects 

 it is recognisable as a Pug with an ample 

 silky coat and a bushy tail. The tail, 

 however, is not curled tight, but carried 



lightly over the back. It is said to 

 resemble the now almost extinct dog 

 of Alicante. Not many years ago Her 

 Majesty the Queen possessed a dog of this 

 kind named Quiz, and some expert who 

 inquired into its origin pronounced it to 

 be a mongrel or a freak. Dog owners who 

 keep Pugs and Pomeranians indiscriminately 

 together, will know how such a freak may 

 sometimes be unintentionally achieved. 



There is a smooth-coated variety of the 

 Pekinese Spanie 1 which closely resembles 

 the modern Pug ; a circumstance which 

 adds weight to the theory that the Pug 

 is of Chinese origin.
