These colors are registered with the AKC,but may not be registered their true colors,due to The Pug Dog Club of America setting the standards for the AKC ,and they only want the standard to include Fawn ,and Black.
|
Fawn The most commonly seen colour in the pug breed.
|
Apricot Fawn There are variations of Apricot fawn,from warm to rich apricot. This pug displays a warm hue of apricot to it's fur.
|
Stone Fawn The colder version of the standard warm fawn. Usually with silvery points, and a stronger trace along the back. the colour is beautiful but may be frowned on by many show breeders, and incorrectly labeled smutty,which it is not.
|
Silver/Fawn This colour is an ultra light fawn minus any dark hairs in the fur like the regular coloured fawn but is being registered as silver/fawn by the AKC registry..We believe it should not even be in the "silver" catagory.In all other breeds silver is actually a silver color,but not in the pug breed...why is this???????? Not only are they registering this color as a silver/fawn,but they are also registering the silver/grey pug as a silver/fawn,which is absolutely NOT...none of this makes any sense.
|
White Pug The white pug is registered as white,but look do you see much difference between a white and what they classify as a silver/fawn,no I don't either.This is because we have produced what the Pug Dog Club of America terms as a silver/fawn from a white pug,the only difference between a white pug and a silver/fawn is the dark points on the mask and ears.
|
|
Silver/Grey The AKC registers this color as silver/fawn yet in the standards silver/fawn is classified as a light fawn the color of moon light with a black mask and trace.. We believe this color should be registered what it is,a Silver/Grey.
|
Brindle Pug More of a pattern than a colour An apricot brindle,& a fawn Brindle
|
Albino Notice the lack of Pigment
|
Smutty fawn This is a fawn with a bleeding of dark hairs throughout their fur,not a desirable color in the show world,but loved by those who own them just the same.
