Dogs of the world

Amazing

This is absolutely fascinating, you can see where different dogs in the same region share similar traits and therefore probably came from a common ancestor or interbred (look at all those curly tails on the Nordic and Asian dogs!), or how certain dogs are adapted to the specific region they are from and what they are/were bred for

Pugs are not cute

Pugs are not cute. Pugs are malformed, inbred, sick animals that should never have existed.

(Above: pug and wolf skulls. Note the shallow eye sockets, crowded, protruding teeth, and short snout in the pug.)

  • Dogs pant to cool themselves. As pugs have practically no snouts, they have trouble cooling their bodies and they can suffer from organ failure as a result.
  • Pugs are often unable to breathe properly due to their short snouts and compact breathing passages. This inhibits their ability to do things that dogs like best - running, chasing things, playing.
  • Pugs suffer from a mangled jaw from which their teeth grow in all directions.
  • Because of the distorted shape of their skulls, their eyes commonly pop out of their heads. 60% of prolapsed eyes become blind. Eyes put back in the skull are prone to infection and the dog may need treatment for the rest of their life.
  • Their eyes are also prone to swelling painfully, becoming scratched, and being irritated by their eyelashes.
  • When excited, pugs are prone to getting fluid stuck in their throats, making them choke or gasp for breath. This is given the cutesy nick name “reverse sneezing”. [video]
  • As it can be difficult for pugs to exercise, they are prone to obesity.
  • Some pugs are born with their nostrils pinched almost shut, making it impossible for them to live without an operation.
  • The wrinkles on their faces will become infected without constant, careful cleaning by their caretaker.
  • About 64% of pugs suffer from hip dysplasia (malformed hip sockets) which causes crippling lameness and painful arthritis.
  • Pugs have a genetic weakness to demodectic mange (a pretty nasty skin condition caused by mites).
  • Their curled tail makes them susceptible to hemivertibrae - misshapen backbones which cause spine bending and instability, neurological disorders, back leg paralysis, incontinence, and pain.
  • Pugs are so inbred that a study of ten thousand pugs in the UK had the genetic makeup of only 50 individuals. Inbreeding means that defective genes are more likely to be expressed and passed on to offspring.
  • Necrotizing meningoencephalitis (brain swelling) is common among pugs. Dogs with this condition usually die within a few weeks. 

I am so sick of seeing pugs being celebrated. Their small, squashed skulls, facial wrinkles, curled tails, and protruding eyes are actually valued when these characteristics are a cruelty in themselves.

Pugs are charming, sweet, funny little souls and they don’t deserve the bodies humanity has designed for them.

Stop celebrating pugs. Stop buying pugs.

let’s celebrate retro pugs instead

responsible breeders decided they liked the temperament but the health issues were a nightmare, so they fixed them, they bred them out

it’s retro as in before the muzzle was bred out

and look at them

the one on the left is a retromop and the one on the right is a (elderly) pug

they’re healthier, live longer and have all the pug benefits with none of the usual health issues because of the deformed skull

they have longer legs

making exercise easier, and yet maintained most of the pug looks, and yes, they have the pug grin

want a pug - get a retropug or retromop, a healther, happier, and possibly cheaper option

even though I love pugs, it’s important that people know this 

Retromops are where it’s at friend.  Keep 100% of the pug charm with 0%of the terrible unhealthy inbred deformity.

On Saturday, the Marin Humane Society took in a dog surrendered by its owner. They soon discovered the scared, shivering dog had recently had puppies — puppies who were much too young to be separated from mom.

After some convincing, the owner surrendered the puppies too. When mom and puppies were reunited, the adorable interaction was captured on video.

The great news: Momma dog Cora is back to being a happy, friendly dog and her puppies are in great health too. For more on this sweet family, check out our full story:http://bit.ly/1p922P0 (source)
