The Pug

 The Pug’s motto is the Latin phrase “multum in parvo” (a lot in a little)—an apt description of this small but muscular breed. They come in three colors: silver or apricot-fawn with a black face mask, or all black. 

The large round head, the big, sparkling eyes, and the wrinkled brow give Pugs a range of human-like expressions—surprise, happiness, curiosity—that have delighted owners for centuries.

Pug owners say their breed is the ideal house dog. Pugs are happy in the city or country, with kids or old folks, as an only pet or in a pack. 

They enjoy their food, and care must be taken to keep them trim. They do best in moderate climates—not too hot, not too cold—but, with proper care, Pugs can be their adorable selves anywhere.

The Lagotto Romagnolo

 

This adorable little fluff can be found in the Italian countryside hunting for truffles. Originally bred for waterbird retrieval, they are now the only purebred dog recognized as a truffle finding specialist. In fact, this breed is so ancient, they are believed to be the breed from which all water retrieval breeds descend.

This breed has a soft fluffy coat, comprised of hair rather than fur. They are hypoallergenic and low shedders. They are highly intelligent and eager to please which makes them excellent working dogs who excel at most tasks.

These dogs thrive in a family home with lots of love and affection and will make perfect adventure buddies!
