Pug | Dogs 101 

''Genes squished my face... ,but society squished my soul..''

*A PSA*: COLLARS ARE NOT GOOD FOR PUGS. HARNESSES ARE BETTER. KEEP YOUR PUG SAFE. GOOD DAY.

Pugs are so adorable! I love their personalities, so sweet and loving. If I ever have a dog, I'd have a pug. I'm actually afraid of dogs, but I don't think I'd be afraid of a pug because they're so sweet. I love the fact that the pug will just hang out with me. Dolores

Pugs aren't ugly, they're pugly. That's a good thing

That eye thing happened to pewdiepie's dog

Video: almost the perfect family pet *Also video: sometimes their eyes can pop out*

Everyone freaking out about the eyes popping out, it's rare for that to happen. I've had my pug for 5 years and it's never happened to her. Their main health issue is they want to eat any and everything so you have to be careful with what they can get into. Yes they have breathing problems but just keep them cool and don't over do it on exercise if it's hot out. They love attention and meeting new people. Getting my pug was the greatest decision I've made, my entire family has fallen in love with her. Best dogs ever

I've had 2 pugs, both boys and both adorable and loving! Our fawn died years ago and our black pug had to be put down this March at only 3 years old! I miss them terribly.... 😔😔😔😔😔

They are so cute and funny pug puppy like me (duggu). 🦁❣️❣️❣️

Τα σκυλάκια Παγκ είναι τέλεια.

My gosh, I had no clue there poor eyes could pop out. Would someone who has owned a pug please share experiences about their eyes popping out.

Guys: Pugs eyes don't actually pop out of their sockets. They just bulge out abnormally.

I have 5. my oldest is 11 and youngest 6 months. Lovely animals

I love pugs, but i couldn't own one just because i would feel bad for them all the time.

Pugs are so adorable and they're very sweet 😍

I have a pug/miniature poodle cross and he is amazing, he only has breathing issues occasionally.

JAAABBAA THE HUTT **woof woof wowoof**

If you think a pug is cute look at French Bulldogs

getting a pug puppy soon!

Pugs are so cute omg I want them all.

Please buy retro pugs!!! They have longer noses, which helps them breath!

I love pugs. So cute

3:19 Oh yeah, nothing serious except their FREAKING EYES CAN POP OUT

My dad thinks pugs are ugly but I loooooovee them

the chance of eyes pop out in a pug is: 30,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

Why can’t we breed them with somewhat longer muzzles? They’d still be pugs, but they’d be able to breathe!

Stop hating on other peoples opinions its they're opinion so if they think pugs are ugly it doesn't mean its hate towards pugs its just they're opinion if you think pugs are cute they're cute.

First off I want to make this perfectly clear, there are more brachisephalic dogs than just pugs, so my thoughts are if you hate pugs because they have trouble breathing, then that means you hate Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Pekingese and so on.

The benefit to having your dog be suffering all its life barley being able to fucking breathe is that it looks cute.

I heard that they're breeding pugs to have longer snouts. They're calling them Retro Pugs or Mopses (singular Mops).

My favorite dog awwwe soooo CUTE I CAN JUST LOVE IT

Lmaoooo 😂😂 my sister got one named Billy and everytime I see him I just burst out laughing

I got a pug named sweetie she is a fawn pug but if you don't have a pug you don't want one mine poops every were they are so cute

I love pugs

my dog is a mix of a pug, beagle, and jack russel terrier. she has the fat rolls of a pug, the face of a beagle, and the body of a terrier. (and messed up teeth from the whole lot)

"they do shed" is an understatement

I want a pug but I live in Florida fuck

Ugh my mom loves these dogs and is getting one when we move this summer. I really want a shiba inu:( I've loved them for three years now

Anybody who thinks pugs are ugly can get off this planet right now

Love my fellow pugs

My pug is quite the dom

I’m sorry by why is it the animals that some people find ‘cute’ look like freaking aliens? Pugs, Sloths, like why?

Saying pugs are healthy dogs is just plain wrong. Unless the breeder violates the standard, they all have breathing problems. And the corked tail also means problems with malformed vertebrae.

The one thing you must never do with pugs is allow them to get fat. Walks three times a day, best quality dry food you can afford at the minimum daily recommended amount, and no extras.

Yup, 100% against breeding any dog, esp bc it’s cute. Right, it can’t live out a full life bc it can’t breathe. But it’s cute, so there’s that. /s

So cute

omg it's so cute

To quote my favorite RU-vid: "he's a pug. He's unhealthy by default."

my sister has pug I love pug

who loves the diamond mine cart pugs?

My pug’s eye got popped out once

I felt like I was running out of breath just listening to the pugs trying to breath.

I can't believe we as humans bred an animal so that its *wrinkles* would make a symbol. They're so adorable but I wish they as a breed didn't have to suffer so much with breathing :(

person: sometime the eyes can pop out and have to be put in right away me:*closes video* ok cats seems nice

we had a pug for over a dozen years. i never had a dog that was so in tuned with our emotions. you had a bad day, he knew. you wanted to play, he'll launch into play. but the compacted spine did lead to walking and bladder issues in his late years. he is still missed.

Their eyes ... can pop out ... sometimes the way humans played with dog's breeding is just ridiculous : /

"they do shed" is an understatement.

My whole thought on pugs changed when i heard their eyes can POP out

my neighbors have a pug... he was chasing his tail and rubbing his butt and head against the ground lol

My grandma's pug is spoiled rotten! When I snuggle him and give him kisses, he'll walk away and rub his face all over the floor to get the love off! XD

I find it really sad that so many people bred pugs and other various dogs or cats just for their looks without even thinking of the health problems that could come with it.

My pug is a very warm-hearted, friendly dog. When she meets a person, it will take about 5 minutes to get used to them. She has never bit anyone in her entire life, but we can't teach her any tricks other than "sit". I give this dog a 10/10.

"Have food, will obey." lmao soooooooo true

I learned unconditional love from my little pug. My "Mopps" died yesterday on New Years Day. My heart is broken.

I was about to do more research on owning a Pug UNTIL THE EYE POPPING PART OMG THATS SCARY

Bad News: "It can't breathe..." Good News: "The reason that they can't breathe makes them sooo cute!!" People are sick.

It's cruel the breeding of pugs. Deliberately giving them a squashed nose, and thus the breathing problems, is horrible.

Edgar! Deutschland!

it isnt the pugs looks that makes me love em and think they are cute. it is their personalities. :3

I'll call him Señor Puggles And why not buy him a sombrero XD

They are living breathing suffocation

I only came here because of Edgar.

With a lot of the pugs problems you can solve them just by having them crossbreed, A great example is that I have a dog that is half pug half beagle and he looks like a pug except his face is no longer flat so he's able to breathe better.

I’ve had two pugs over my life span, since I was a toddler. They both lived to be 12 years old. Never had any eyes pop out lol. Last pic had diabetes. But we later found out, grandma was feeding her peppermints 🤦🏽‍♀️. But she did fine with her insulin shots.

I want a pug, but I live in Arizona. Fuck.

They failed to mention the reason pugs eyes bulge out is because humans have bred them so small that their skulls are too small for their brains so their brains are literally pushing their eyes out of their heads. They are a ridiculously unhealthy breed. It's better just to get a mutt than a pedigree.

So riddle me this, if a dog is bred to have certain traits that actually make it suffer then isn't it unethical to continue breeding them?

I just did a Google Image search for dog proptosis. Well, there's another little bit of my soul gone forever.

Looked up this video with my 7 year old who mentioned she may want a pug. We were both horrified they were intentionally bred to not be able to breath, have their eyeballs pop out and be susceptible to heat stroke and a slew of other health issues so they would look "cute" for humans. Horrifying. smh

"Sometimes their eyes can pop out." She says that like it's perfectly normal!

Pugs are like an xbox ... they need to cool down or they l get the red ring of death .... and when the eyes pop out it means you moved the xbox while the dvd was running ... and it shreds the disc.

Why do pugs look like dogs who got hit in the face with a pan? Why don’t the owners understand that you’re sacrificing their normal breathing ability for making them look ‘cute’?

"You're the most beautiful dog, they call you Jabba the Hutt. Jabba the Hutt. For a Reason".

Don't get me wrong, pugs certainly are cute and wonderful companions, and all living pugs deserve a happy life with people who can take care of them! But they really need to stop being bred so that they're so prone to so many health issues and a just plain difficult life. It's honestly disgusting that people breed them to be possibly the most unhealthy dog breed of all, just because they think it's cute. It's so, so cruel. I really hope people stop contributing to the inbreeding and purposeful breeding of unhealthy traits into these sweet little dogs, they're just going to be miserable all their life. Adopting pugs from shelters instead of buying from a breeder or getting a retromop (pugs that are bred healthily will all the pug charm but much less health problems!) is a much better alternative. Stop letting these sweet little things be bred into a miserable life! P.S. and if you're going to defend this for the sole reason that "they're cute" then congratulations, you're a shallow and awful person who cares more about physical appearances that the life and well being of an animal, and you probably shouldn't be allowed to own pets.

The ugliest fucking dog on the planet =3 They look so cute though ;)

I love cats and im not fond of dogs since i have a lot of bad experience with dogs when i was a child. But damn i want a pug!!!!

EDGAR !!

"easy to train" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA (my pug wouldn't listen to anyone)

I have a chug (chihuahua and pug mixed) she's 16 and still full of energy 😂

I’ve had pugs most of my life. They are the most lovable and playful dog I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my life with. But then again, I’m just partial.

I don’t understand people who find the sounds that it makes “cute” That thing LITERALLY can’t breathe

There are a lot of silly comments on here, and as a Pug breeder for going on 40 years, I feel like I need to address them, Pugs, like all dogs, can have health issues. The whole Eye-popping thing though is not entirely true. they do not just "Pop" out for no good reason, and would take considerable force or a unique birth defect/genetic trait to do so. Most breeders would work overly large eyes out of their blood line fast, if not never have the problem to begin with. The most dangerous thing for a pug's eyes is actually it's fifth claw or Du-claw. if it is not removed shortly after birth, it will remain and can cause severe eye damage later in life via accidental scratches. Breathing issues again actually fall into birth defect zone. A properly bred line will NOT suffer from issues that would EVER require surgery. They of course do not handle high heat well, but should never be exposed to it for long periods anyway. They are hose pets, not outside dogs. As for another user that posted about Hygiene and yeast infections, it's the food and treats you are feeding. Over the past 40 years, we have learned a lot about pugs and how touchy their diets are. Too much sugar and fatty foods/low quality kibble can easily cause them to get yeast infections very frequently as crystals will form rapidly. Pugs are wonderful family pets, and truly do not take any extra care or attention to maintain. The wrinkles are easily cleaned with a wash rag when you give the a bath. No real extra work required. If you want to keep them dry, Baking soda is the best bet. A bit of baking soda on a dry rag, and rub it in the wrinkle. it will help keep it dry and germ free, and wont hurt the dog. (Re-enact Scarface if you must =p ) I hope a few comments from people with less experience owning pugs, does not affect the odds of you making your own personal experiences with the little charmers. =)

I know people say it’s bad to like them for it’s face but there sooooo cute! I love how there personalities intertwine with mine! I’m not very good in hot sun and I like to sit around and chill out.. I would love to have a pug to be my best friend , I honestly think we would be a great match!

Pugs are my life

That reminds me of the movie, The Adventures of Milo and Otis. Otis is indeed a pug.

I remember the first time I ever saw a pug. I was seven years old and had a family gathering at my aunt's house, and there she was. Probably spent a good hour laughing at her so hard it hurt. A great dog!

I can't watch this video without smiling.

They're small, they don't take too much grooming, they're easy to train, they can be outgoing or introverted, they're adorable and don't like the heat. This dog is so perfect for me, i can't wait to get one in a few years.

Pugs are the best ! I had mine for 7 months til they stoled him. :-( I was very devastated about it cause he was my baby. :-(

It shocks me how people always say, "Oh, this dog is so cute, I want it". But they never look at their health needs or other needs such as what their future living environment will be like when adopting a pet. Do they need a home with a yard or an apartment, etc? The first question I ask is it a healthy breed and not say, "Oh, it's so cute and I don't care if it has health issues". A pet owner has to look at their finances before purchasing or adopting a pet. Is the dog breed healthy is the first thing I look at. But it's stupidity to say, "Oh, it's so cute and I don't want to check into this breeds issues". If a person really cares about a future pet they will check into it's other needs instead of how cute they are. It's called, 'Pet Owner Responsibility'. You will care about their health and other issues when the Vet bill is totaled. Stupid, stupid, people. A lot of pets are euthanized because of stupid people who do not do their research when obtaining a pet. Ask questions such as what will their future home environment be, what are their health needs, will they get along with all family members and other pets? Some questions to ask yourself.
