Why? ~ GB fan 19:42, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Reason: The pug in the current does not have good eyes. Its correct, that pug eyes should be large but they are simply to large. They almost look like they are falling out. Another reason would be, that this pug does not have a nose at all. It is just to flat. This is how pugs used to be in the 90s. Good pug breeder are now trying to develop their noses back. And I dont want to talk bad about the current pug, he is still super adorable, but I believe there are better choices for a picture showing how a healthy pug looks like.

Would that happen to be, your dog ? - FlightTime (open channel) 16:21, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

No it's one of the many dogs I photographed. Sorry, just though this picture was better fitting than the current one. Didn't have a bad thought with it. Smokerking92 (talk) 13:27, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

 Not done for now: These are both very nice pictures. But the one titled Sad-pug.jpg is facing a natural and/or artificial light source, and is thus, more illuminated in the dog's facial details. Fawn-pug.png was not taken outside, or was taken in the shade, away from a natural and/or artificial light source. When combined with that dog's darker facial fur, this makes its facial features less distinct.  spintendo  06:17, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Affiliate blog

Hi Kuru,

I was unable to understand: [1], [2] reverts. But there are many cites, which are affiliate blogs. EX: PugInformation.org, pugminded.com, OwnedByPugs.com. So we need to remove them also. Xain36 {talk} 12:36, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Pugs are ranked as one of the cutest dog breeds according to Petfinder.com. Their comical, playful and mischievous tendencies are sure to melt your heart and bring adventure to your household.

Pugs are often referred to as the "canine clown" because of their effortless sense of humor and the desire to always show off. originally bred to be a lap dog, a Pug thrives on human companionship (source: dogtime.com)

Pugs are prone to major health problems like dog encephalitis and canine hip dysplasia, as well as minor concerns like elongated palate, patellar luxation, stenotic nares, legg-Perthes disease; entropion, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, hemivertebra, obesity and skin infections.

 Not done. It's not clear what changes you want to make; please make a precise request. Much of the text you wrote is unencyclopedic as well (and almost looks copied). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:03, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

A quick note that the "Mrs. Piozzi" referenced in the "18th century to present day" section is actually a reference to diarist Hester Piozzi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 215lax (talk • contribs) 14:23, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! I added an additional source and linked to Piozzi's article. Kuru (talk) 15:22, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Dutch law on length of pugs' snout

I added the paragraph below to the pugs page with a reference to the well known publication Vettimes in the UK (https://www.vettimes.co.uk/news/dutch-to-crack-down-on-breeding-of-dogs-with-too-short-snouts/). On the grounds of needing a reference for nose length it was removed by Flighttim. Doesn't make much sense to me. Vettimes should qualify as the best-known British veterinary publication. Any thoughts?

Breeding ban in the Netherlands In the Netherlands, the breeding of short-nosed dogs of all breeds, including mixed breeds, is generally prohibited unless their nose length is at least one third of the head length. For the Pug breed this means that breeding with Pugs is allowed if the nose length is at least one third of the head length. If the nose length is less than one third, breeding with these Pugs is not allowed.

The article talks about "rose" ears vs "button" ears...

...but it has not a single picture specifically of rose ears to compare. Does anyone have a picture of a pug with rose ears that's PD or of an acceptable free license to upload here as a comparison? Gatemansgc (TɅ̊LK) 17:03, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
