Best/Worst liked Dog Breeds

yes, yes, yes

Pugs are kind of a pain in the ass, I think.  They shed WAY more than you think they should, and they can't walk three feet without gasping for breath.  I've seen som Jugs (Jack Russell/Pug mixes) that look similar, but don't have some of the problems.  Besides it would be cool to talk about how much you like Jugs in mixed company.

General rule with any pure breed is that they will have some farging weird inbred health problems.

(Just in case you've never heard of dogs.)

yes i've been looking into these guys too.  and the puggles are cool looking, but they're way to small and girly.  i don't think i could possibly walk one around town without feeling ashamed of myself.

Just leave your johnson hanging out of your pants, and it should balance your delicate ego.

Seriously, if you want a pug, and are willing to deal with the medical issues, then just get an English Bulldog

puggle is a definite no.

and i have been looking into bulldogs.  either them or pugs.  it's just something about their squished up wrinkled faces that i like.

In the summer they do have problems with the heat...but it's not because they can't walk more than three feet.

The shedding is an issue. If you own a lot of dark clothing, invest in a case of those sticky lint rollers.

Pugs are cool in their own way. I would definitely consider another one. Either that or a boston terrier. But then again, no dog would mean much easier vacation plans...

I don't know...I see pugs in the dog park all the time, and they act like they're going to keel after they run 10 feet.

Are they fat pugs? Maybe that's part of the problem. My pug loves to walk, and will even enjoy an occasional trot if the temperature isn't too high outside.
