I never get you folks. The vast majority of the ones I see are pretty happy love running around and typically aren't bread to be flat enough to cause long term issues. Nothing that would leave me to believe we need to gas all of them because of suffering.
I work at a veterinary clinic. Most pugs that come in sound like they're having a panic attack just from walking in the front door, their breathing is so bad. It's abusive to breed dogs to struggle through life.
I've done several years as a vet tech. The vast majority seem just fine ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
Then I'm glad you're no longer a vet tech.

Friend of the family has two Pugs whom seem happy and energetic. Very energetic even, I get exhausted watching them lol
I guess they lucked out on having functional breathing tubes.
A lot of pugs are now being bred to have "old" traits, so a longer snout and less bulgy eyes like the pugs of 100 years ago.
"retro pugs" I've heard them refered to.
Yea my family has some French bulldogs and same thing, they have always been super healthy and energetic. No breathing problems, either, but they got them from a reputable breeder who breeds for health more than the designer breeders.
We really don't need to exterminate those breeds, imo, but we should absolutely be working to undo the genetic damage done from designer breeding. Ethical breeding should be enforced for breeds like pugs and bulldogs.
