Vintage Dogs: Names of Distinction II

A breeding announcement in Forest and Stream, January 7, 1886. To decipher for those in need, two pugs named Punch and Judy were bred and produced a female whose owner, presumably after careful consideration, decided upon the name Pug for her. Pug the pug.
In the interest of completeness, I include this announcement in the February 25, 1886 edition of Forest and Stream, indicating that Pug gave birth to six pugs.
This guy named three of his Gordon setter puppies after Forest and Stream which is nice, save for the one stuck with And. From Forest and Stream, September 2, 1886.
Low effort name.
