Their faces willl literally rot off if you don't keep the creases in their face clean.
>>2441364
What can they do other than being dressed up in goofy outfits and take pictures of them?
>>2441364
they're ugly as fuck
>>2441367

It's been a long time since I've seen an OP get savaged this badly.
>>2441372
You realize that most dogs don't perform their functions that they were bred for right?
>>2441372
Nice failure.
Pugs have been pet dogs since forever, they were never bred for anything but to be pet dogs.
It's only in the last hundred years or so that the breed has been irredeemably fucked over forever, though.
>>2441379
>eyes are known to fall out when they bump things too hard
is this real?
>>2441364
They're genetic failures bred to live a painful life then die, do no form of actual work nor are capable of doing so, won't protect you from anything.
They're hamsters but worse.
>>2441384
My German Shepherd herds every day
He herds the cats
>>2441395
Yes. It's called eye proptosis
How is not being able to breathe normally not enough of a reason?
>>2441384
My Schnauzer loses his shit over toy mice and barks at people knocking on the door.
But OP, I don't want a dog that can't BREATHE. That's not optional for mammals. They NEED to breathe air. You know that, right?
>>2441379
Purebreeding was a mistake.
>>2441407
Pure breeding for work or genuine concern for the breed is great
Pure breeding for show and aesthetic is shit.
>>2441405
BUT SILLY PICTURES XDDDDDD
>>2441395
Unfortunately yes, pic related. Easiest thing to do is probably remove it but some vets attempt to save the eye/s.
>>2441399
That sounds very qt
Post a video if you can pls
There's no point to own a dog period.
>>2441428
OP here, dont see a reason not to own one. All dogs run risks of running into health issues no matter the breed. Try again.
>>2441433
Getting a pug is like drinking while pregnant
>>2441438
>all dogs run risks of health problems
How read?
>not considering the breeding itself of these kinds of abominations one of the worst forms of animal cruelty
Probably b8 thread though, can't be this dumb. Even if OP doesn't care at all about the doggos' wellness the expenses that come with these little sacks of pain are enormous.
>>2441445
>can't understand that some dogs are more prone to health defects and problems than others, especially Pugs as already stated ITT
How common sense?
Now go away dumb frogposter, your silly game is boring now.
>>2441453
Who said i didnt understand, anon? Im simply saying why forsake one breed for defects when you could win the doggo lottery and get the healthiest pug of them all
>>2441456
>you could win the doggo lottery and get the healthiest pug of them all
okay you're legitimately retarded
Pugs aren't cats
>>2441456
Having the healthiest pug is like saying you have the smartest kid with Downs Syndrome.
>>2441531
Isn't there a subset of Down's where they just have the face but they're normal behind and could have genius IQ?
