Origin

Late 15th century (denoting a lapdog): perhaps from Old French poupee 'doll, plaything'; compare with puppet, synonymous with dialect puppy (as in puppy-show 'puppet show').

pup from mid 16th century:
The word pup is a shortening of puppy (Late Middle English), from Old French poupee ‘doll, plaything’, which is related to poppet (Late Middle English) and puppet (mid 16th century). To sell someone a pup is to swindle them, especially by selling them something that is worth far less than they expect. This dates from the early 20th century and was presumably based on the idea of dishonestly selling someone a young and inexperienced dog when they were expecting an older, trained animal.
