Hi Dave, To me the first looks like a worn Mottled Beauty. Of your Pugs the first is a faded Green and the second looks like a faded Currant. Bleached would be very unlikely in Bucks with only five records of which only one can be regarded as properly validated (my track record on unusual Pugs isn't that good, though, as I said something similar last year about a Marbled Pug which turned out to be just that species!). Did you keep the specimen? I really wouldn't like to say what the other three are for sure although the last one (for which you've helpfully provided the size) might well be Slender.

Hi Dave,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compehensive reply. The possible Bleached was let go.
