      I had always wondered about the 7:1 ratio when trying to figure a dogs years. I found an article a few years back that discussed this and their aging is not linear. I can’t remember all the equivalents but I do remember that as dogs have already reached puberty by age one, then the dog would be at least 13 in human years. At age two they have an adult body but still exhibit remnants of a puppy brain, which would put the dog equal to our 18-20. If memory serves me correctly, it seems that the ratio gets a bit lower after that
      and gets closer to the 7:1. That would put the little old man over the 100 yr mark and a bit beyond.

      @@allisonandrews4719 The only breeders breeding "healthy" pugs are breeding them back to standard, a.k.a. Retropugs. Anything else is just staying ignorant of the reality of flat faced breeds, and the struggles most of their kind endure. I get that it is hard for those with pugs that "seem" healthy to accept that the breed itself problematic. For every one "Healthy" one you get dozens that are not. They are doomed to being wheezing animals that can barely function like a dog. It's not fair to breed any animal to have myriads of health issues for vanity's sake. I'm not a hater. I feel we need to stop breeding flat faced animals, that includes cats too. We need to stop breeding things like toad-stool pits, gsd's with sloped backs, goldfish that look like golfballs/have giant eye sacs, etc. I want to see priority of health, wellness over all else. It's not genocide to want to see us STOP breeding as we are now these animals. START breeding better health, better genetics, happier animals in the long run.

Less mashed face, longer legs, as energetic as a jack russell when younger, yet still attractive and fun! The way the breed was a century or so ago.

      The words " a breeding movement" made my heart sink. I grew up in Lancaster County, PA, considered the puppy mill capital of the East. Recently, two Amish families petitioned to open two French Bulldog breeding facilities. They are cruel to the dogs they bring into the world .Permission for the French Bull Dogs was granted. They know what's going to sell, those wily Amish. Turns out, they are now breeding Retro Pugs. It's your right, of course, to get whatever dog you want. Meanwhile, shelters across the US are filling to record levels. Dogs--- good dogs----are dying because there's simply no room. I guess it comes down to whether you love dogs or just a single breed of dog or just your dog. You are on a mission to make a healthier pug. Many of us are on a mission to save every dog we can.

They were all such sweethearts (until it was nail clipping time). They all had their own unique little personalities and were adored. We’re looking forward to adopting another soon.

      Moogie B, you don’t have to be a nurse. Caring and compassion are the most important. Then familiarity with the animal you are looking at. (i.e. You are familiar with dogs but perhaps so much with an animal you have never been around.)
      Like the morning I looked out my window and decided my horse “didn’t look right”. I fed her breakfast and just watched. She ate but a bit slow. But she didn’t look right. No evidence of pain any where. No runny nose or eyes. Gums were pink, oxygen good, Heart rate good. Bowel movements good. But she didn’t look right. I finally had worked my way to the rear and discovered she had a fever of 105*! She should be at 101*.
      The vet pulled up an hour later and said that my mare didn’t look sick and was amazed when she checked the mare’s temp.
      I told the vet, “I told you she don’t look right.”

      I noticed this too. Sounds like a “snork/reverse sneeze.” He also has a nasal drainage on the same side as his smaller/swollen eye. Sadly, these are all the symptoms that align with nasal masses. My dog had one, but she’s survived for almost 2 years with treatment. But it’s important to get symptoms like these checked out asap bc nasal tumors are aggressive and nasty bc they’re so close to the brain and impact breathing (dogs don’t breathe through their mouths when they sleep, just noses).

      That was very sweet of them to let you know. I used to take care of a beautiful German Pointer in Puerto Rico. He wasn't mine, he belonged to a neighbor who let him run free most of the time. He was skin and bones until I started feeding him. He loved me, and I loved him, so when he wasn't locked up he came straight to me & stayed at my house. When they'd go away he was locked up, with only 1 day of food and water. I started going over to feed and water him because he was behind a locked gate I could reach through. Those people knew I loved that dog, and when he died they didn't even bother to let me know. I loved him so much! He was such a good boy; he never gave me any trouble - just love.
      They had imported him from Spain. Why they'd treat him like that I'll never understand. Just writing this has me weeping😭💔
      And get this: before he died they got a new dog - probably one of the worst breeds to have in the tropics - a freaking Husky of all things. SMDH.
      Thank you for loving animals. I really don't trust people that don't. And I completely don't trust them if animals don't like them. I find dogs are often quite astute at judging human character.

    Buddy is an exceptionally good boi & his parents obviously take wonderful care of him. Vanessa’s right; 12/13 is pretty extraordinary for a pug! This is absolutely no shade on his devoted owners but… selective breeding has really done a number, physically, on these beautiful dogs. Even the best breeders can’t quickly undo what some unconscionable people previously did, breeding wise, to acquire certain physical attributes. It makes me sad when outstanding dogs like Bud, have to reap the consequences. Great job, as always, Vanessa! 💕

      i had two pugs growing up, they were sisters and the black pug really got the short end of the stick genetically. the black pug, sweet pea, lived only until 11/12 (cant quite rememer) because she had so many issues; lots of allergies, very nervous and sickly little dog who would get very sassy and woof a lot when she felt like speaking her mind. the other one (regular coloring) is extremely healthy and is about to turn 13 in a couple months. she has absolutely no issues, she has her weight under control (she used to be a big chunkball but now she's a proper weight). the only problems she has is the occasional ear issues that pugs get, and she had an accident where she scratched her eye on something but that healed as well as it could and she has no pain from the accident, just not sure how good her vision is in that eye. but her hearing is still going very good, and she runs around like a little puppy! i'm so glad about that too because her sister deteriorated pretty badly, had such poor vision and hearing nearing the end and got worse and worse, but it looks like little delilah is still happy to be around

    I would recommend if you want a pug, you get what's known as a "Retro pug". These are pugs that are cross bred with other dogs like jack russells or beagles. This way they are born with longer snouts so they don't have too many breathing issues. They're not perfect but they are a step in the right direction.

    Bud is such a good boy. I would appreciate if you updated us on how he's doing! It's so sad watching him having trouble breathing. I know a while ago in some country (I forgot which) people tried to bread pugs and similar dogs with a longer muzzle, but it doesn't seem a common trend, unfortunately. If those dogs were bred more responsibly, we'd get rid at least half of their current problems. I genuinely can't see how people find that cute. It's the same thing with cats for me. It's awful. 😢

    I have two pugs. One professionally and ethically bred with their health in mind and one that I rescued from neglectful owners who probably got him from a puppy mill. The healthy one (Betsey) is 5 and still perfectly healthy, playful, and doesn't get labored breathing that often. The other (Tater) is 6, skinny, has bladder problems that are genetic, clawed feet, spine deformities, and has huge eyes like marbles. See the differences? I take care of Betsey because I got her when I didn't know any better. I got Tater to save him and take care of him. Please don't hate on pugs or their owners, hate on bad breeders!

    My friend's pug lived to be 16 . She was a fabulous creature with a lot of personality. While I know Pugs are bred to disease, they still deserve love and care.

    What a sweet old man! I love how you mix the laughs with information about the breed and what you pay attention to with your return clients.

    There are breeders that breed pugs "with nose". Thus the dogs can breathe. Please look for those breeders or look for a dog from a shelter. Thx

      @@gingermaniac5484 A retro pug is a cross between a pug and a Jack Russell terrier. One day at the dog park, I saw a cutie and asked his owner what he was and she said he was a puggle - pug crossed with a beagle. He was lively and could breathe.

    My father bought us a black pug puppy when I was 15 from a friend of his who backyard bred his two pet dogs. Raised him from young, came to think of him as my own little brother, then one day at about 6 years old he developed some mystery illness that seemingly affected his kidneys/liver and he was dead a week later. We didn't even have a chance to seriously treat him, but we wouldn't have had the money to do so anyway. Learn from this mistake and get your puppies from a certified breeder, and have a vet fund if you do. Pug genes are seriously messed up. Rest in peace Oscar, I loved you so much. Wish I could've had more time.

    Pugs are the best...haters gonna hate but they are the funniest little clowns. They have big personalities and they are always looking to be in trouble. I love them
