Do you love your Pug? How about ordering Pug personal bank checks?

The Pug is a small dog whose very name could mean “pugg” which means “playful little devil” in Old English. A small dog in size, what it lacks in stature, it makes up for in spirit. Pugs are very recognizable for their short muzzled faces, serious expressions, soft snorting sounds, and curled tails.

Pugs have a long history of being pets. Pugs were bred to sit on the laps of the Chinese sovereigns during the Shang Dynasty. Even Tibetan monks kept them as pets. Frequently they are referred to as “Lion Dogs” due to the fact that they resemble the Chinese guard lions.

Eventually, the Pug became the House of Orange’s official dog when in 1572 a Pug saved the Prince of Orange’s life barking at an assassin. In Italy Pugs were costumed in matching pantaloons and jackets and rode alongside of coachmen in carriages and Goya painted Pugs in Spain. They were sometimes used as guard dogs and even utilized as trackers by the military.

When confined at Les Carmes prison, Jospehine Bonaparte had her Pug transport concealed messages to her family. Painter William Hogarth’s self-portrait, which now hangs in the Tate gallery, contains an image of him and his Pug, Trump. Queen Victoria even kept Pugs herself.

Pugs tend to have glossy coats in either black, silver, fawn, or apricot. Pugs are very sociable and friendly dogs, despite their stern exterior and large under-bites. They are also intelligent dogs and rank #57 in Stanley Coren’s “The Intelligence of Dogs.” They are very affectionate with their human counterparts and require quite a bit of attention from their owners.

There are several types of Pug checks available. One series, for example, shows a photograph of an apricot Pug standing in a field of purple flowers. You can purchase matching accessories to correspond with these checks.

You can also buy Gary Patterson Pug checks. This series shows an image of a Pug asking to be fed. These also come with coordinating accessories such as address labels, contact cards, and a checkbook cover. These must be bought separately, of course.
