Friend of the family has two Pugs whom seem happy and energetic. Very energetic even, I get exhausted watching them lol

I guess they lucked out on having functional breathing tubes.

A lot of pugs are now being bred to have "old" traits, so a longer snout and less bulgy eyes like the pugs of 100 years ago.

"retro pugs" I've heard them refered to.

Yea my family has some French bulldogs and same thing, they have always been super healthy and energetic. No breathing problems, either, but they got them from a reputable breeder who breeds for health more than the designer breeders.

We really don't need to exterminate those breeds, imo, but we should absolutely be working to undo the genetic damage done from designer breeding. Ethical breeding should be enforced for breeds like pugs and bulldogs.
