Mopsiini

Mopsiini is a term sometimes used in informal contexts, particularly within online communities, to refer to a domestic canine of the Pug breed. It is a colloquial and affectionate diminutive, similar to how other dog breeds might be given pet names. The term does not denote a distinct breed or variation of Pug, but rather is used as a term of endearment by owners or admirers of the breed.

Pugs themselves are a breed of dog with a distinctive wrinkled, short-muzzled face and curled tail. Originating in China, they were historically bred as companions for Chinese royalty. Their small size, generally amiable disposition, and comical appearance have made them a popular choice for pet owners worldwide. Pugs are known for their playful yet sometimes stubborn nature, and they typically require moderate exercise and attention to their facial folds to prevent skin infections. The use of "Mopsiini" simply reflects a fondness for these characteristics.
