[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pugs.

I have two highly bred show Pugs.   They are the best temperament E.V.E.R. but I will never get another one.   If a Pug is bred to show standards (vs. back of the WaPo classifieds puppies/ cash only, WV address), Pugs are one big long expensive health nightmare.   And the trend in the standard is to get even MORE extreme features, so puppies of today are even more fucked up and sicker than my own two -- which is hard to imagine.

Here's a bit of trivia I bet you didn't know:  Pugs that meet the breed standard cannot conceive puppies on their own.  (IVF)   They can't give birth vaginally without killing the mom or her babies (all C-sections).   Modern Pugs don't have nostrils, just slits where the nostril would be.   Their throats collapse in on themselves somewhere around the 5-6 year mark (C-Pap machine).

In addition, my dogs have been to neurosurgeons, orthopedists, opthamologist surgeon, and a canine allergist.   One had to go on Prozac for several months, and the other one continues to have some OCD tendencies that aren't debilitating, so we don't medicate him.

Next dog:  stuffed animal.[/quote]
