Black Pug
Among the possible colors, solid black is very popular. A black Pug dog will be that color 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. 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.
Black Pug puppies were imported from China and exhibited for the first time in England in 1886. The black color was first
seen in Europe in the year 1886. This was when English Lady Annie
Brassey first decided to show her black Pug puppies at the Maidstone
