This sounds good, but is still dumb, somewhat less incestuous inbreeding.
What’s with the thick white borders on lemmy lately? What’s the use of adding these? I know there are people who are too lazy to crop their screenshot but in this case someone took the effort of doing the opposite of cropping the image. Why?
I think cropping already low-res jpegs will recompress them again and make them even lower quality
For love of dog just stop breeding. There are so many unwanted dogs already that need homes.
Mutts are better anyway. I’m biased because the best dogs I’ve known were not pure-bred, but still. They also are more resistant to genetic disorders…
Still sort of grotesque in that there are probably a lot of inbetween generations that suffer. Most ethically sound idea is probably to just euthanize these breeds and end them entirely.
I’ll never understand why people even want pugs. They are not cute, they are ugly abominations. Maybe they were cute before people turned them into this.
They used to be very cute and were functional dogs. Altdeutscher mops and retro pugs are good examples. Here’s an 1800s painting of one.
In modern pugs? Indeed, they’ve been selectively bred for brachycephaly (flattened muzzles), and poorly so, resulting in many potential health problems.
