Mutations are great because they can cause just about any color, so anything is possible.

I remember learning that in school...also this albino I met didn't have an eye color! His eyes were clear, and you could see all the little veins and things....

Charlie is mix of a white pug and a black pug...the white pug was adorable - we really liked him!

Found this on YouTube about a White Pug -
YouTube - Marshmellow the WHITE pug puppy

Here is also a list of the coloured Pugs aroundt the world - Its very interesting!
PugColorClub.com - AKC Registered Pugs of Color


In Ireland, the IKC only recognises Black, Fawn, Apircot, Apircot-Fawn, Silver & Silver-Fawn. Thats not to say there isn't many different types of coloured Pugs out there.

Anyway, their all so so cute no matter what their colour :D

This has been such an interesting thread - and there's been no fisticuffs!! LOL

We had white pugs on here once we had a great friend in Japan and he sent pictures of them it is a genetic problem these were true Albinos pink eyes etc they did have the mask but he explained that the genetic problems are very extensive, I think only one was actually ok the other 4 were blind and deaf, prone to hip problems. I hate to say that the one you saw was probably a mix but if not would have serious health problems through the years if it is a genetic/albino
