2,000 years ago in ancient China some smoosh faced little shitbag in some emperor’s palace was going ‘reeugh eeaagh eeeagh’.
They didn't used to be THAT deformed, before pedigree breeding.
all smush faced abomination dogs are a post-1900s creation. Thank the British.
>>5127399I've never understood the point of intentionally creating disabled dogs. Creating a breed for a specific temperament, fine, a gentler, more patient dog is better for a family, but disabled to the point of not being able to breathe properly? To the point of having a tongue too big for its palate? It's a companion, not a decorative object. And who finds a physically disabled dog cute? A bit dim-witted, like the kind that hides behind a curtain and thinks it's invisible, okay, that's cute, but this?! All this because some guy defined it as a breed standard a century and a half ago?
Don't talk shit about rumpledumps, he's a good lad, very charming
>>5127401Health problems asociated with brachycephalic facial structures are overstated, but like many things, when taken to the extreme it becomes a problem. The proof is in the pudding with Pug lifespans v show English Bulldogs: same facial structure yet pugs live longer because facial structure is not the only indicator to dog life or standard of living, it's a bunch of factors.
>>5127401Why do white people deform dogs?Why do the Chinese eat their dogs?
>>5127382only because they lacked the technology to keep these freaks alive, if they saw modern pugs they'd love them.
