Anyone that buys a Pug or Breeds a PUG (other than rescuing one) , should be hung upside down until the crows peck their eyes out. These dogs are not healthy, and these people will be born as a Pug in their next life.

Anyone who makes a statement like that needs their own eyes pecked out. I owned a Pug for 13 years. She was a sheer delight and I wouldn't trade those 13 years for anything. She had a few issues typical to Pugs, but nothing major. She was healthy all those years and a great companion and friend.
