The eyes are dark in color, very
large, bold and prominent, globular in shape, soft and solicitous
in expression, very lustrous, and, when
excited, full of fire.
Clarification:A Pug's expression is largely
dependent on it's big, dark, appealing eyes. Eyes should be
large, bold, and globular, but not bulging. At rest, the
expression should be benign,intelligent and affectionate; when
alert, the expression should be keen, curious, and very
sparkling, showing a love of mischief. While the standard makes
no mention of eye position, it is accepted that the eyes should
be set well apart. The center of the eyes should be in line with
the top of the nose. Rims are black and usually encompassed by
the black mask in the fawn Pug. East-west eyes aresometimes
found, especially in young puppies. Expression (size, shape, and
color of eyes) is the primary consideration.
Undesirable: White around the eyes; almond shaped,
squinted, or bulging eyes; east-west, close-set, or high-set
eyes.
Very undesirable: Light colored or small eyes.
