Beautiful Pug Throw Blankets

Pugs were shipped across the Atlantic to the shores of the United States in the late 1800's, and were soon recognized by the American Kennel Club as a distinct breed.

The Pug Dog Club of America, which seeks to support pug owners and promote ethical treatment of all dogs, was founded in 1931.

A variety of Zazzle artists have created unique pug designs. There are dozens of pug throw blankets to choose from. Zazzle is based in Redwood City, California, so all of these blankets shown below are made in America.

Also, these blankets are made to order, so further customization options are possible. For instance, it would be probably be possible to print the recipient's name on the blanket, or a message such as "Happy Anniversary" or "Happy Birthday."

The nine pug mugs on this beautiful 54 by 38-inch blanket shown below are designed by Dog Pound Gifts, which, as the name suggests offer a huge selection of dog-related items, including neckties that feature various individual dog breeds, scarves, hats, wallets and much more.

This whimsical blanket with a brown background shows a pig pile of a pug, cat and mouse. It is designed by a British illustrator and textile maker named Sharon Turner, whose online gallery is called "Scrumilicious."

She has created many designs with bold colors and patterns, and they are featured on a wide range of products, such as iPhone cases, pillows, prints, greeting cards and more.

This blanket designed by Swedish graphic design firm named Destei, whom has created a large number of other animal-themed items on Zazzle. The pug in this cartoon depiction is silver fawn colored, and has a facial marking known as a Morrison mask.

This blanket measures 38 by 54 inches, and is made from a cotton/polyester blend.

Destei has created a number of other items in this same pattern, such as a keepsake box, a maple key rack and a round pouf foot stool, or seat, made with a cotton-fabric cover.

This pug with the monocle and top hat is part of the Crazy Creatures gallery, run by a Toronto-based artist named Jeff Bartels, noted for designs that feature wide-eyed animals, in this particular line.

Bartels has created a number of dogs and cats, but also frogs, lions, leopards, koala bears and more.
