I believe in mutt supremacy. Loved my little puggle mix.

Im all for mixes and giving dogs the best life they deserve. But a purebred pug is a dog with a smashed respiratory system, I don't care what anyone's opinion is on it. That shit is inhumane..

I agree. That's why I loved my puggle mix. He was part shih-tzu, pug, and beagle, leading to him having a longer snout, a bark that belonged to a much larger dog than he was, and a *glorious* beard in his old age. And he lived longer than most purebreds.

Purebreds tend to have weak immunity systems due to inbreeding, so mutts tend to live longer because of their more diverse genes.
