Blarrgh! What is that?! Instead of a mix of a pug-like animal that resembles an actual dog, we end up getting what looks like a deformed Husky. The real victim here was the poor Husky that was forced to breed with the pug. 
I feel worse for the poor little pug that had to take on a Husky!
Because I have opposable thumbs and the ability to use tools.
Dogs are of course creations of man, but being descended from wolves, I think it’s reasonable that a dog should have, at the very least, a remote chance of being able to survive in nature. Breeds which can’t clean and groom themselves, or which are too small or weak to hunt, or too stupid to forage, or too arthritic and fucked up to run from predators, should not be continued. For the good of dogkind. Also, they’re depressing to look at.
You can blame Men In Black for the current popularity of this overrated dog.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That’s awesome! What a great looking dog. Seriously though, all Brachy breeds snore. The cool thing is that their fat, mushy, little mouths mean that feeding them is just like feeding a happy manatee. No snapping. Feeding noodles to my boxer/pit mix is pure joy. On the flipside though she also can burp and blow it out, unlike a regular canine. I’m not overly fond of that.
I have laughed out loud more during this thread than I have all day. :p:p:p:p
Y’all be trippin. Pugs are adorable, dawg.
I had pugs for many years. No breed does happy like a pug. Their whole face splits into a goofy smile. The AKC description calls for a dog that acts like a big dog in a small dog’s body.
The dog has a bed in the corner of our bedroom. We are woken up in the middle of the night to a disturbing noise. Not for the faint-hearted reader:
[spoiler]SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, …
“hrugh”?
SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, …
“what?”
SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, …
“What the …?”
SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, …
“Omg!”
SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, …
“Stop it right now!” -Throw slippers at dog to get it to stop licking its penis-[/spoiler]:rolleyes:
They’re like small miniatures of Winston Churchill, with none of the breeding, tact or dignity.
In other words, they are Winston Churchill?
LOL, yeah…as if Churchill had any of those things!
Well, Winston had breeding.
Tact- not so much.
Dignity- probably ego got in the way there.
In the interest of any casual ignorance here, the pug is not just a dog, but one of the oldest breeds of dogs (source: AKC). So really, most other dogs are bastardizations of this fine (ig)noble breed.

But they aren’t Blue Persians (even if they have a squished in face). 
I’ll second that.
My black pug is without a doubt, the single happiest creature I’ve ever been around in my life. He oozes happiness. It’s pretty much impossible to be around him and not come away a little more smiley.
From my experience with pugs so far, I think that sums it up nicely.
The closest canine relative to the pug is the mastiff, which no one can deny is a most dogly dog. You can see how that could be bred down into a tiny puggish package.
Living with a pug is like living with a midget clown who always wants to perform.
LOL and +1, with exclamation points.
Though we had great dogs when I was growing up. Real dogs. German Shepherd watch dogs, and our best dog ever was a collie-shepherd mix.
