I can't speak about Corkys. However, pugs are understood for being gentle and sociable.
Indeed they were, I bet they were popular because Pugs are well known for being really sociable and gentle companion dogs and they are good around kids.
I have a pet Pug named corky :) He's the cutest! Pugs typically has fawn or black as their colors. Their bodies have developed muscles and is compact. I love them too! Mine is black. Where did the breed originate from? Pugs came from China when they were introduced to Europe during the 16th century. The houses of Orange and Stuart popularized them. Woah! I didn't realize they had that much history...Corky must have been royalty! Haha.
