The Pug, one of the oldest breeds, has flourished true to his breed down through the ages from before 400 B.C. It is agreed that though the Pug's origins are unknown, he has descended from Oriental lineage and bears a close resemblance to the Pekingese.
In Holland the Pug became the official dog of the House of Orange after alerting Prince William of the approach of Spaniards at Hermingny in 1572. The Pug became the fashionable breed for generations. Napoleon's wife, Josephine, owned one of these gentle dogs, whom she named Fortune. In Holland the Pug was called the Mopsshond, which comes from the Dutch word grumble. The picture shown to the left is a finished version of this piece. This item comes unfinished in white plaster.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
