I’ll never understand why people even want pugs. They are not cute, they are ugly abominations. Maybe they were cute before people turned them into this.
In modern pugs? Indeed, they’ve been selectively bred for brachycephaly (flattened muzzles), and poorly so, resulting in many potential health problems.

They used to be very cute and were functional dogs. Altdeutscher mops and retro pugs are good examples. Here’s an 1800s painting of one.
Someone shrunk the head?

No, i meant, the whole head is disproportionally small in the picture.
Oooh, I get it. Painting issue? Maybe this one had a disproportionately small skull? My mystery mutt certainly does and he’s not a little dog.
They are fine in “original” fkrm, but current degenerated pugs are not cute or healthy.
