By the mid 1800's, two distinct strains began to appear and dominate English bloodlines.  ...The Morrison strain is said to have descended from the bloodlines of Queen Charlotte, wife of George III. The second strain, founded on import bloodlines from Russia and perhaps Hungary, was that of Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby.  The Windsor Pugs belonging to Queen Victoria were said to have come from both the Morrison and Willoughby strains.  It was Queen Victoria who banned ear cropping in Pugs, citing the procedure as unnecessary cruelty.

The invasion of China during the reign of Tsu-Hsi.... brought many new dogs into England. Pugs imported from China in the late 1800's more closely resembled today's Pugs...

Early Pugs of the 1800's were documented in a variety of colors.  The preferred color was golden fawn, with variations in shades ranging from light fawn or cream to a golden apricot color.  It is in this color range that the Morrison Pugs are best known.  Willoughby Pugs were described as a cold, fawn color with some references to a silver-gray or stone gray color.  The black mask was not as common and considered a great asset, as was the "Prince" mark, known today as the thumbprint.  Many references exist to indicate that some strains of fawn Pugs had a fair amount of white on the legs and chest.

Queen Victoria is thought to have owned two silver-gray Pugs, Ayah and Mops.  References to other silver Pugs are scarce, but a "blue" Pug was reported to have been born in 1913 and was advertised in The Standard as a proven sire of blue puppies.

...Lady Brassey of Sussex, England imported two black Pugs from China in 1877.  Queen Victoria owned several black Pugs... with photographs ... appearing in her albums as early as 1854.  

The Pugs descending from Lady Brassey's [black Pug] bloodlines often had a white chest and white feet.  Many of Queen Victoria's own black [Pugs] ... descended from the Brassey strain.  The Mortival strain of Pugs became the first bloodline of black Pugs in England to be virtually clear of white.
