Black Pug
A black Pug will be a black pug depending on the genes of the parents.The black gene is the strongest and will rule over any other color, it is the dominant gene.
When breeding, if in the gene pair from both parents carries black, the Pug puppies will be black. If in this pair one member calls for black and the other for fawn, the Pug will still be black because the black one is dominant. The only way for a Pug to be fawn is if both pairs of genes call out for fawn. Black Pugs are known to exist as early as the 1700s thanks to William Hogarth's painting of one in House of Cards (1730). The artist was an owner of Pugs and portrayed many in his paintings so that there is an exceptional visual record of the Pug’s appearance dating back 250 years.
Black Pugs are solid-colored dogs, but interesting, they carry the white gene, known as SS. The B gene produces the black coat color.
Black Pugs were imported from China and exhibited for the first time in England in 1886. The black Pug made became recognized as a separate variation of the Pug in 1896 by the Kennel Club in London.
Generally, it is not acceptable to breed a black pug to a fawn. Crossing colors will not improve the coat or color of either type.
Summary of Facts:- Black Pugs generally have just 1 coat…fawn Pugs have 2 coats (an undercoat and an overcoat)
- Black Pugs shed less than fawn Pugs
- There is no different in the appearance of black Pugs VS fawn Pugs, except for the color
- Black Pugs carry the white gene and therefore, 2 black Pugs may produce a white Pug.
