They are stubborn, affectionate, fiercely loyal – and small enough to cuddle in one hand.
Now, more than 300 years after they were popularized, the pug has entered the nation’s top ten best loved dogs. They are now more popular than boxers, whippets, beagles or bulldogs.
Chihuahua numbers have also gone up threefold, while last year saw the miniature smooth-haired dachshund make it into the top 20 for the first time.

Pugs are quite cute and I'm not surprised they are so popular, but I'm a fuzzy and thick fur lover so I'm very happy with the equally adorable Pekingese ;-)
