Pugs are cute but I support the erradication of the breed

And by that I mean, stop breeding them. I am NOT advocating going out and euthanizing pugs. Just stop making more. Seriously, take this time to read up on the constant health issues related to pugs. They live in constant agony as they struggle to breathe. Their existence is one of pain and suffering. We purposely bred dogs with shorter and shorter noses because "awww they're so cute" but by doing so we ruined this breed of dogs.

That being said, pugs are cute and this game is fun, 9/10.

Many dog breeds are brachycephalic and as a life-long pug owner, I can tell you that they are healthier than many humans I know.

If you really care, you should rally against the garbage that companies call Dog Food.

Pugs rule!
Boys drool!

Cheers and game on!

If bred only during their correct breeding periods - February and November - pugs are generally pretty healthy. It's when puppy farms and other unscrupulous breeders 'battery breed' them, that the repertory and eye problems occur.

I bought a pure bred pug for a friend of few weeks back and she was fit (3yo), active, healthy and... erhm... on heat! lol So, not all pugs are sick and living in pain -- that's a misconception.

They're also the dog breed most likely to get struck by lightning, fall in a pit or run face first into a spinning saw blade.

There are certain pugs that have this issues more than others, which is why it's best to ask to spend time with a puppy's parents before you take one home, or at least ask about their medical history. They're certainly not a dog that will run a marathon, but they are fast as all hell. Unfortunately, that's when their 'reverse-sneezing' comes into effect. I have a pug-cross dog and it's easily had the last amount of health issues compared to other dogs I've had. Her parents were very healthy.

Keep in mind, pugs are a very old breed so it's not some modern trend that just sprung up where we just started breeding them for aesthetics. Many dogs bred for working, hunting, and the like can have severe health issues as well. More often than not, it's a case of poor breeding practices and poor health of the parents than the breed itself being fundamentally flawed.

Pugs are an old breed yea, but we have been constantly breeding them for shorter and shorter noses. The pug of today is not the same thing as the pug of 50 years ago.

There is really no point talking about how long a breed has been around because all breeds have drastically changed in the last century. Go take a look at some old black and white photos of breeds and you will notice a distinct difference from today's breeds.

Don't forget they are also more likely to drown in water, melt in lava, or accidentally impale themselves on spikes.
