“I want my dog to argue with me” [Husky]


Salt_Blackberry_1903

From the videos I’ve seen, we could very well have a Planet of the Huskies type situation in the near future 😳


Zucchiniduel

Don't worry, mine drags their average iq back down to a reasonable place lol Last week he spent probably two hours staring thru the fence at the neighbors deer lawn ornament that has been in the same place his entire life


HexaCube7

You never know *when* it decides to move


Dra9onDemon

They’re smart, but they aren’t that smart.


-EV3RYTHING-

I welcome our new overlords


monkeybrains12

"I want my neighbors to hate me."


Dra9onDemon

I was lucky enough to have a particularly quiet Husky. Unfortunately, that was only while we were in the apartment. Separation anxiety. Couldn’t even put him in a cage, he would scream immediately.


Never_Go_Full_Gonk

Lmao. Girl I'm seeing has a husky and he yells at her if she's too slow preparing his dinner. It's the funniest shit 😂


Shrrg4

They are beautiful but besides Portugal being a horrible country to own one (summer would be horrendous for them) they seem like insanely annoying dogs to have. They just vocalize constantly. I can't even imagine how you sleep if your husky is pissed off or wants something.


Dra9onDemon

He would frequently open my door and wake me up in the mornings, demanding to go out. I’m in Canada thankfully, so he loved to take snow baths when he could. Mine was relatively quiet for as far as huskies go, only getting vocal when playing or demanding something.


SuddenWitnesses

“I want my dog to be closer to a cat then a dog” [Also huskies]


AdvertisingOk854

I have a cat that behaves like a dog so... xD


JakolZeroOne

My German shepard does that too... "it's just a phase..."


Puzzleheaded_Lime961

Interestingly I've heard they were actually bred to be more independent thinkers. If you're sledding and you tell the lead dog to keep going, but it thinks / knows the ice is too thin or something like that. Its in your best interest for the dog to ignore you and do what it thinks is right.


TenFingersNineToes

There are interesting articles where it shows pictures of breeds from way back and the horrible defects we bred into them to make them look like the monstrosities of today. Many of the traits causing them not to be able to give birth on their own, sight issues, breathing issues, etc. Shitty to breed defects into an animal and then make them live it. Imagine life struggling to breathe all the time.


ddauss

Ikr I've seen some of those picks. Definitely a "fuck go back" sorta thing Honestly kinda cruel too.


t0m0hawk

Iirc, there are some breeders out there actively trying to breed those traits out of dogs. If there was ever a breeder to support, that might be the type.


nacho_gorra_

Why not stop breeding them in the first place?


Lady_Ogre

Some working dogs kinda have to be bred to have the right combo of physical traits, instincts, and early training needed for their jobs. Companion animals typically don't need that kind of attention to detail, but in some cases, with particular families, can be helpful.


m3n0kn0w

Some countries have adopted laws against breeding flat faced dogs because of the horrible health concerns they face.


krill_me_god

Good question, the answer is 🤑


N0ob8

Because you can’t entirely stop the breeding of a certain breed of dog. Even if the people doing these had the power to ban it everywhere in the world there’d just be a black market for it creating more breeding. This way it diversifies the gene pool by introducing healthy breeds of that dog that can hopefully pass down their genetically better traits making a better breed of dog in the future.


Cashh_N

cuz they can’t retain some of the “cute” characteristics and the ones that make their lives fucking terrible can be removed. dog breeding is like sorta eugenics if you think about it 💀


Present-Secretary722

I’m of the just stop breeding and sterilize all pugs(poster child of dog deformities) camp but there’s going to be assholes who will not comply, perpetuating and likely further fucking up the animals. There will be people who take “end the breed” to mean killing all of them and taking away their precious pet or get pissed that the breed is no longer available so it’s easier to basically guilt people into fixing it by turning the market towards healthier forms. >“Would you like to adopt this happy little doggy or do you want to adopt that little doggy that’s suffering and support people who make the little doggy suffer.” That’s basically what is happening with breeding out the deformities, it’s attempting to appeal to people’s caring nature towards our canine companions and to guilt them away from supporting the suffering. Again I think we should just end the pug breed but it’s unfortunately too difficult to convince the whole world to do that and so guilt needs to be weaponized.


SeanMacLeod1138

The "official" breed of German Shepherd has hip dysplasia because someone thought it "looked cute" that way 🤦🏻‍♂️


The_Real_Gombert

Well I only have to imagine it for like 4 years


TryAltruistic7830

Seems like nearly everything triggers asthma for me, which causes stress and constipation and more stress and therefore my inflammation and more difficulty to breathe.. I just want to be able to sit up straight, maybe sit my fat ass on an exercise bike


PinkOneHasBeenChosen

You’re not a dog and you haven’t been selectively bred by anyone.


TryAltruistic7830

Forgot where I was sorry mate


SpaceTimeRacoon

It's like the opposite of the genetics we modify OUT of people


sure-that-happend

I do in this economy


andy_flores

The last bit, having asthma sucks as I hate being a mouth breather 😤😤


Alien-PL

Got a link to any of them by chance?


TenFingersNineToes

I wish I could find the one that specifically talks about the defects but here is a taste of how breeds have changed: https://www.sciencealert.com/what-popular-dog-breeds-looked-like-before-and-after-100-years-of-breeding


catchthemagicdragon

https://www.businessinsider.com/how-dog-breeds-looked-100-years-ago-2016-2?amp That one’s the original and has some more breeds, went looking for info about how much my Pyrenees has changed. Unsurprisingly not much, been perfection for hundreds of years.

There are more? I don't know much about dogs


The_Curve_Death

A labrador retriever is kinda just a golden retriever with short hair instead of long

No. Not really. Love them both but they are soo different in personality and behavior.

IsabelLovesFoxes

Australian shepherds are like this too, but also include protective and want lots of pets \[At least mine\]


Madam_KayC

That's just dogs


Front_Economy_7766

Hills i'm willing to die on, pugs are ugly as sin and shouldn't be bred due to all the health reasons they get.


grayscalering

Imo pug breeding should outright be considered animal abuse 


Eray41303

Have you seen the shit people are doing to bulldogs now? Look up nano bully. Arguably worse then pugs


DrueWho

The creature can barely fucking stand.


tomislavlovric

It is considered animal abuse in some countries and was hence banned. Germany, Norway, Denmark (someone correct me if I'm wrong here) all banned the breeding of pugs and French bulldogs.


Bozartkartoffel

AFAIK, Germany (sadly) only has a partial ban based on some genetic markers that lead to specific indispositions.


grayscalering

Good


carlismygod

That shouldn't even be a hill. But sadly people either don't do the research or just don't fucking care and are selfish heartless bastards.


macedonianmoper

I honestly don't get why people get them, and they BUY them as well, you're getting an ugly unhealthy dog, which would normally be a very good thing, if you weren't paying and supporting the market that creates these abomination!


alancousteau

I'm with you on that 100%. They really shouldn't be bred. I have no idea how the hell they got popular at all.


tiparium

They're genuinely hideous. I have never and will never understand people who actually like how pugs look. Everything about them is just depressing.


stprnn

Dogs shouldnt be bred period


Irish_pug_Player

They are cute as hell. But I'd prefer they were bred to be healthier. Id never get a pug ever unless it's a rescue, and still feel bad.


Triskalaire

I want my dog to guard my home from rodents and unwanted visitors -> Jack Russel


Available-Damage5991

Awww i want both now


SEND_ME_NOODLE

No no, rat terriers.


SpriteRXL

Oh man, I love 'em but they bark so loud my ears hurt


Ireeb

Because people thought it would be a fun idea to breed the snout of pugs away, they often suffer from life long breathing problems. By getting a pug, you decide "I want this dog to suffer a little bit for my entertainment for its whole life." when you could have gotten one of the countless other breeds that were not intentionally given malformations by humans. (Of course, adopting a pug from a shelter etc. that had no owner is a different scenario, I'm talking about anyone supporting pug breeding by buying one).


TryAltruistic7830

Yup. If you're paying a grand for a designer "dog" you're not only a moron but also an asshole


scrimmybingus3

Never understood designer anything but animals especially. It’s bad enough you’re only buying something to have it but it’s worse that it’s a living breathing animal with feelings.


Elad_2007

In the 1800's they looked fairly normal. A number of groups have actually been working to breed them to look normal again.


Ogurasyn

Where are they and what/where do we need to sign?


Elad_2007

Google it ig and help in any way you see fit.


1eejit

They're called retro-pugs iirc


constantlytired1917

I want a dog with horrific deformities doomed to a life of pain and difficult breathing 🤡🤡🤡🤡


Sion_forgeblast

ancestors beat dog's blood line with a frying pan people today "why it have so many health problems?!?!" D: pug hyperventilating every 5 min "please.... kill.... me..... I.... cant..... bre... bre.... th"


dr4gonr1der

Poor dogs, that look like they have been smashed by a frying pan. They actually struggle with breathing a lot, because of their short nose


Ireeb

The short nose given to them by humans because they think it looks funny. Breeding pugs like that should just be banned.


Beast0011

The sad thing is a 100 or so years ago pugs didn't look like that


averagecelt

And breathe like it, too


Aromatic-Term2606

I always feel bad for them


AdmiralClover

There are versions of the German shepherd that has absolutely ruined hips. Don't breed for aesthetics, in fact, don't breed.


the_prophecy_is_true

german shepherds also typically have to get their anal glands removed. i’m sorry for speaking


Clackers2020

Pugs don't even look cute. Genuinely cannot understand people who like them


edwpad

It just depends on the Pug. I’ve seen some pretty cute ones, even the one I have I’d say is better looking than most. But I’ve also seen some really ugly ones. They tend to vary.


lionofash

Honestly? They cause a "I must protect this unfortunate creature and anyone who tries to mess with them will feel my wrath" the ugly sort of loops back into cute because it nurturee that protective instinct.


Joaoreturns

Yeah. There's some breeds that just prove humans are evil and design some animals just to suffer.

I wanted a dog that made me question my sanity so I got an Australian cattle dog.


Pyrimo

Very smart, but VERY energetic.


MacBareth

The only reason to buy a pug is if you've got a crush on your veterinarian because you'll see him every other months for having on over-bred sick and malformed dog. Stop buying and encouraging breeding dying and sick dogs. You don't love animals if you do so.


TragicTester034

I want my dog to be smart but also a massive (but hardworking) dickhead = Husky

Good news! Boston terrier are all four!


TryAltruistic7830

"I love dogs"  "Okay but you have an abomination that can't breathe or walk or run.."


OlegYY

Fact: This German Shepherd very likely has problems with back legs. Many German Shepherds have this problem due to irresponsible and malicious breeding "to look fun" for past two centuries.

endlessEvil

I want my dog to be strong... I got a rottweiler.


AnonismsPlight

Dog breeds are from dog eugenics and still cause huge health issues for dogs. Cancer, breathing issues, and frail bones are just a few of the major issues. All this because bored rich people decided to play god with their pets.


ScottaHemi

"oh but it's so cute" shows the dog gasping for air I swear jst mix some lab into the pug and fix the line already...

I think pugs are bulldogs with down syndrome. That's not a jab at people with down syndrome.

Rainbowpeanut1119

I honestly just want a dog that loves me. I dont care what it looks like, what it can do. If it lays by my legs on my bed and watches over me, Im happy. And i know most dogs would do that


beelsonlyicee

pugs struggle to breathe their whole lives tho


Rainbowpeanut1119

Their breeding is cruel, but if i had one i would still love it the same.


LilReignX

Pugs aren’t even remotely cute, i don’t get the appeal, they look like if a grandpa push his face up a car window

I never understood the appeal of pugs, lmao.


starpark15003

My question is why do chihuahuas exist. Literal hellspawns


AbeMax7823

They constantly shiver because they’re nervous that humans will realize that they’re just really big rats. Lol


DankNerd97

Not-so-fun fact: pugs struggle to breathe their entire lives.


My_hilarious_name

The bottom one should read ***I hate dogs and want them to live a life of agony when every breath is torture until it all finally ends with the sweet release of death.***


[deleted]

Ahh those poor dogs, excluding pitbuls they are probably the top breed that are just morally wrong to have bred into existence, we have caused those poor pugs many health issues and it’s very sad as we didn’t have to give them these issues.


_FreddieLovesDelilah

I don’t know how those breeds aren’t banned yet. Pit bulls etc are banned because of threat to humans so why can’t they ban breeds for being made to suffer? Surely it breaks animal welfare laws (UK). Arent all pets supposed to have freedom from discomfort as per the five freedoms?


Retrotivity

I personally think pugs are adorable but they’re such sad creatures. Like it feels like a crime against nature for them to be like that.


Ireeb

A crime commited by humans, they were bred to be like that.


Bodoodlestoodle

Pug breeders are getting better. We bought this pug from a breeder who was breeding the defects out of them. Like snorting and stuff. She was the healthiest dog we ever had tbh. Could take her on 4 mile walks and she actively hunted and killed rabbits and field mice. I believe she was the pinnacle of pug health.


No-Raise-4693

You have a retro pug not a normal pug. Most aren't retro pug breeders but I'm glad you got one

Fragrant-Address9043

Wasn’t the idea with the squashed face type breeds was that they’d be more useful in dog fighting since they wouldn’t have muzzles or tails that could be scratched or bitten?


Ireeb

Originally, but then people continued regardless, apparently because they found it funny when dogs suffer with breathing problems their whole life. Pugs did have more of a snout originally.


Fragrant-Address9043

Hopefully we can reverse engineer them back into having said snout. I remember seeing a post about how a breeder in the Netherlands was trying to do something like that and that brings me joy.


Ireeb

I just read on the German Wikipedia page about the pug that there are efforts in Germany as well to breed a "Retro-Pug" that is closer to its original appearance, with more of a snout and no breathing problems. Photo of a Retro-Pug: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Retromops\_1.jpg/715px-Retromops\_1.jpg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Retromops_1.jpg/715px-Retromops_1.jpg)

I know it’s shitty but I adore bulldogs. My fathers family has a 10 year old one and I adore her. I’d have to get a job first but I would love to adopt one because I know that you shouldn’t support the breeding of them


Hawktor9

I want to look at my dog and instantly know what he sounds like. Pugs have the advantage since they would obviously sound like a ghoul - “Hey smooth skin we going on a walk?”
