Why this breed is missing
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 selection that prioritizes health over 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.

Der Mops ist eine der Rassen, denen ihr Aussehen zum Verhängnis geworden ist. Viele dieser Hunde leiden unter so genannten Qualzuchtmerkmalen, eines davon die Kurznasigkeit. Das Leiden des Hundes, der Pflegeaufwand für den Menschen und die Tierarztkosten sind bei vielen dieser Hunde sehr hoch. Mittlerweile gibt es einige, nicht unumstrittene, Versuche durch Einkreuzungen gesündere Hunde zu züchten (z.B. Retromops).
