Yeah there was a thing on the other day saying pugs can't breathe properly because their heads are too big, but hey they look cute. 

 

I always wince at the current fad for making up names for cross-breeds. My dog-in-law is (apparently) a cavapoochon; he's got bits of cavalier King Charles spaniel, poodle and bichon frise. Bollocks to that. He's a daft mutt and all the better for it.

Sounds like the Royal Family to be fair.

We bumped into a pedigree dog bore a few months ago. He had a bodeguero (like a biggish Jack Russell), as do we. Apparently his was a pure breed unlike ours, had all the correct markings...unlike ours, etc, etc. This cunt went on about it for about ten minutes before we subtly intimated that we didn't care and left. The dog had an expression like it had found a massive bag of beak and had ploughed through the lot. It wouldn't stop barking when they walked off either. 

 

Weird stuff. Like bragging that your parents are cousins.

I always think mutts are better than pedigree inbreds anyway.

 

I think there is a lot of science in this myself. In the same way say an Afro Caribbean person marries,for example,a European. This can help reduce the mutation of the sickle cell gene over a period of time,I believe. This along with other inter ethnic and cultural relationships can do similar things with other diseases and health problems. In the animal world of course,of which humans are a part.
