[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1102314, member: 8439"] I've heard those warnings myself, but never seen or heard from an individual who has seen such a thing (this includes two vets I've worked with. :p ) so I don't worry too much about it. They are more likely to get eye injuries because they don't have a nice pointy nose to take the brunt... :( And anyway, at least they can give birth! You wanna talk about some selective breeding that needs to be rethought, look at the english bulldog. ;) And overall, the pug's congenital worries are pretty mild. You'd likely think of dalmations as more of a "real dog", but due to overbreeding, they're a mess geneticly. (awaits flames) Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
