Lots of people still believe that there can only be two colors for a pug… fawn or black. But, pugs hold a few more colors than that… some common and some rather rare.
Depending on which organizations you talk to, pugs can have as many as five colors. According to the AKC (American Kennel Club), they recognize five colors: fawn, silver fawn, apricot fawn, black and white. According to the FCI, KC and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club), they all accept four colors: fawn, black, silver and apricot.
Well, what's indisputable though, is how rare silver pugs are and watching a rare silver pug puppy grow up is a sweet and heartwarming experience that will melt anyone's heart!
Meet Pug puppy Smokey. This adorable little pug pup’s biological mom was a fawn pug (black snout, tan body) and his father was a super rare white pug. Smokey is a precociously obnoxious mix of the two.
When the owner, Maia McCann, met him, he had smoke-colored ears, so that’s where she got his name. These days, he’s the color of a coffee with lots and lots of cream, but she thinks his name still suits him 🙂
Watch a rare silver pug grow from 8 weeks to a year old in 2 minutes on the next page!

For all of you that want to run out and buy a pug because you see a cute picture, keep in mind… Pugs are way over bred , and very few breeders are careful in their programs. They have health issues . Consider adopting… And never discard your pet because of age or illness .

You’re not cute, or funny. You are part of a big problem.

Getting one from a pug breeder is great! Make sure you get one from a great breeder such as myself who PDE and PKdef tests and I have not ever had nasal surgeries or trachea. My pugs are very nice!

Pugs have a lot of health issues and if your not ready to deal with that a pug is not for you. Adopt don’t shop

I’ve had 4 adopted seniors from pug rescue. I have a puppy that needed to be re homed also. People are too careless with this most popular breed.

I have 2 pugs black & fawn, they are sisters
And are 8 yrs. old. They are the 3rd and 4th pugs I have owned. Thankfully
I haven’t had any major health issues with any of my pugs. But I am very diligent making sure they see the vet, eating the right foods and exercise. Never let your pug get fat, that is when the health issues come on. Pugs can be gluttons if you let them. There is nothing like a pug, they think they’re people.
