Why this breed is missing
Why we don't currently place Pug puppies
The breed-specific health risks for the Pug are high — especially when it comes to breathing and stamina. In these cases, a lot depends on the breeder: on consistent screenings, transparent results, and breeding choices that put health ahead of appearance. Assessing this breed is complex and not straightforward. We currently don't have a standard for this that we would rely on — which is why we aren't showing any breeders or puppies for this breed for the time being. As soon as we can change this, we'll include the breed again.

About Pug
The Pug is one of the breeds whose appearance is their downfall. Many of these dogs suffer from so-called extreme breeding traits, one of which is short nose. The suffering of the dog, the care required for humans and the veterinary costs are very high for many of these dogs. There are now some, not uncontroversial, attempts to breed healthier dogs through cross-breeding (e.g. Retromops).
