About the Pug

The pug is a small, companion dog breed originating in China, known for its wrinkled face, short muzzle, and curled tail. Bred for companionship, pugs have a brachycephalic skull structure, meaning their faces are significantly shortened compared to other dogs. This anatomical trait contributes to their signature look but also comes with health implications, including breathing difficulties and dental crowding. The pug’s skull showcases how selective breeding has dramatically altered the natural canine form for aesthetic and behavioral traits.

Skull Production

This replica was created using a high-resolution 3D scan of a real pug skull. It is cast in durable resin and hand-painted to ensure every detail—from the short nasal cavity to the tooth arrangement and orbital position—is faithfully reproduced. The result is an accurate and durable model ideal for anatomical study and display.

Perfect For:

• Collectors of domestic animal skulls or canine breeds
• Educators & museums teaching about selective breeding, skull variation, or veterinary anatomy
• Veterinary students & professionals studying brachycephalic syndrome
• Artists & sculptors needing a compact and unique skull reference

This pug skull replica offers a compelling look at the effects of human selection on skull morphology, making it an excellent addition to any anatomical, veterinary, or educational collection.
