Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name of Josephine Bonaparte's pug?

Answer: Fortune

Josephine Bonaparte owned a pug who went into battle with her husband, Napoleon. Some people believe that it was Napoleon's dog, while other can't believe that because of how he despised dogs. This pug is famous for carrying secret messages to Josephine from her husband.
2. Pugs usually come in two different hair colors that are black or what other color?

Fawn resembles a beige color. As fawn pugs become older, you may start to see more gray hairs.
3. Where did the famous Pug Dog Club of the 1900s begin?

Answer: Netherlands

The Pug Dog Club was started by Mevr. Chr. Veldhuis. It started on August 30, 1957. If it wasn't for the Pug Dog Club, pugs wouldn't be very well-known in European countries.
4. A pug isn't usually a good watchdog.

Answer: False

Pugs wouldn't be good at attacking intruders. However, you would be awakened by the sound of a pug's loud barking!
5. Compared to other dogs, pugs usually have a long lifespan.

Answer: True

Pugs usually live for about 13 years. In dog years, that's 91! (13 X 7 = 91)
6. In which country are pugs known as "carlin"?

Answer: France

They have been called this in France since the early 1800s. Carlin was the name of a man who played a role in a play as a man with a black mask.
7. The pug breed came from what type of dog?

Answer: mastiff

You heard it right! The breed of small pugs was created from one of the hugest types of dogs! It is said that the pug came around 200 B.C from this large breed. The pug is said to have been created when the rare mastiff breed, the Dogue de Bordeaux, was cross-bred with a smaller dog. This would explain how the pug got its size.
8. A young pug's muzzle is usually what color?

Answer: black

Even if its hair color is different than its muzzle, the muzzle should be black. Some pugs may have whiskers on their muzzle.
9. Pugs need to be brushed frequently.

Answer: True

With their straight and short hair, a pug would seem like the type of dog that does not need to be brushed at all. Pugs are heavy shedders and should be brushed at least once a week.
10. A pug once saved Prince William's life.

Answer: True

This happened in Holland in 1572. Holland was at war with Spain at this time. While he was sleeping, one pug came up to him and attempted to wake William the Silent. He awakened and was saved from assassination. This pug saved him by alerting him that Spanish soldiers were heading this way! Prince William went to England and brought his pugs with him.

There was a ceremony, and even the pugs were dressed up!
