Rescuing Tiny Newborn Pug Puppies

Please don't buy pugs from a breeder! There are SO MANY pugs in need of homes in rescues and shelters. Watch my video on why you shouldn't breed or buy brachycephalic dogs: • Meet My French Bulldog...

I really wish the US would follow suit with the Netherlands and ban the breeding of brachycephalic animals AND try to return dogs like the pug to their original breed standards (aka having a regular, functioning airway).

[@Adrastia]

I've seen them bred with other small dogs to make retro pugs. They look like the pugs you see in old paintings.

[@mphillips4324]

That's a thing? Wow, go Netherlands!

[@SvanhildMarieLarsen]

Thanks to Kitten Lady, these little angels had a chance. But I wish that people would stop breeding dogs (and cats) with flat faces.....It is NOT cute when they're struggling to breathe!

[@romystumpy1197]

Absolutely correct ,they are born disabled,and it's heartbreaking when I see them out with owners struggling to breathe

[@cutecats532]

Retro pugs are cute. They're pugs bread with other dogs to give them a longer snout like they used to have a long time ago. If I wanted a pug I'd probably go that route unless I fell in love with a rescue pug. Dog shows should have penalties for unhealthy dog characteristics, those things are so outdated.

[@paulagreeno]

It should be illegal!

[@kleptomelly]

100% agree. Especially for brachycephalic animals but really no one needs to breed their pets.

[@pennylane8318]

My vet said the same thing.

[@hannahnfvideos1043]

I actually had no idea you couldn’t bottle feed brachycephalic breeds. Just another addition to the list of reasons why they probably shouldn’t be bred :/

[@ClockworkChainsaw]

*definitely shouldn't

[@oliviaspring9690]

I think there are some people or companies out there that are trying to breed them to be healthier and turn them back into what they used to look like before we made them have so many health problems. I can’t remember the name of either one but they’re out there.

[@SayuriTsukine]

Brachycephalic breeds are at higher risk of being born with cleft palate (like their cat Chou Chou was) and with so little space between the nose and mouth, it's easy for liquids to accidentally get into the nose when bottle feeding gets messy. Bottle feeding simply isn't safe to do with these flat faces. There's a large myriad of reasons why these animals are incompatible with life. Deformed faces and skeletons, inability to breathe normally, cats aren't able to groom themselves, pugs have sleep apnea, their brains are literally being squeezed by their skulls (and some of these animals suffer seizures), wrinkles in the skin causes infections without regular maintenance, intolerance to anything but mild temperatures (poor thermoregulation)... The closest human equivalents I can think of are the Hapsburg dynasty. They're so messed up that they can't even breed and give birth naturally without human intervention. It's a marvel of modern science that they even still exist.

I absolutely adore pugs. Which is why I promised myself a long time ago that I would always seek out rescues/breed rescues, rather than any that are bred. They won't die out as a breed anytime soon, and I refuse to contribute toward irresponsible practices, especially while they are out there!

[@neckbackcripplinganxietyattack]

Damn right! Well done for not contributing to the cycle

[@susanclotfelter7247]

Even the boxers I grew up with struggled in the Midwestern heat. These breeds have marvelous personalities, but like butter, they are better when mixed with other things! Adopt don't shop.

[@voryndagothDL]

Incredible respect for doing what most people don't and adopting pups with no home

They're lucky to be alive! Pug births are precarious and require c-sections. They're so lucky to have ended up in the hands of someone experienced and kind!

[@FilthAndRuin]

even though we're big on Don't Support Breeders, how do people feel about the retro pug which is a project to give them their original faces/unflatten their faces?

[@astrinymris9953]

According to Kim Kavin, the market for dogs is big enough that if all the shelters were emptied there would still be a demand for puppies. So buying retro pugs is fine, especially if you adopt a shelter pup at the same time. The problem is that a large segment of the dog owning population believes that shelter dogs are damaged goods, so they buy from puppy mills/backyard breeders, thinking the resulting pups are somehow better, despite the hideous conditions in such places. Mind you, these prospective owners don't know this, because unscrupulous breeders are experts at "puppy laundering". I highly recommend Kavin's book 'The Dog Merchants' which gives practical tips on how to make sure your new canine companion is ethically sourced. And to that end, I think we need to get the word out about brachy breeds and their suffering, and urge people to stop buying flat-faced dogs. If demand for them disappears, the supply will dry up.

[@mysticfox9718]

Thank you Hannah for giving these puppies a chance at life! You are such a great and caring person to not just cats, but to any animals. That need someone to help them in their time of need.

[@enderkitten1235]

They remind me of my dog Mabel when she was a newborn, though she had a much longer healthy snoot. Her mom was my cousin's, her name is Cika and she's a French bulldog, despite the fact that my cousin bred her she refused to do so with other breeds that have super short snouts. Mabel's dad is a pitbull dachshund mix! She got most of the Pitbull and Frenchie genes so she's our little beef cake, with ears that stand up when she's excited or curious. Some of her siblings on the other hand look like tiny pitbulls with long bodies and short lil legs. None of them really look like Frenchies because they actually have noses and can breathe, though they certainly have the personality and sass of them lol. All babies were able to nurse and all of them survived! I believe Mabel was apart of Cika's second and last litter before she was thankfully spayed. We took care of Cika and her puppies for about a week when they themselves were a week old while my cousin was moving. I still see some of Cika's mannerisms in Mabel, like the token "Cika stare" and the way she tilts her head and sticks her ears up. But anyways, you really really should not breed your pugs or French bulldogs, it is so hard on their bodies and often times the puppies have to be delivered via C-section. My cousin stopped breeding her out of concern for her health, but unfortunately not all dogs that are bred have caring and loving owners who are willing to stop and rethink what they're doing for their pets. These breeds have gotten so out of control and they are suffering for it, if you are going to breed one of these dogs, please do it with other breeds that will ensure that the babies and born happy and healthy, and that you aren't risking the mom's health either.

Ironically it was two pugs my mom adopted in 05 named Gracie and Owen, who changed my opinion of adopt don't shop. They were rescue pugs from a puppy mill, owen was ok standard male pug and the best companion i had growing up, but gracie oh poor gracie. Girl was bloated, had a snaggletooth, her back legs didn't work right and she kinda wobbled a bit when walking or running. But they were healthy, happy and lived long lives until they passed nearly a decade ago. I remember being told Gracie had so many puppies that she became like that.... I keep that in mind whenever I see pet stores and the like. I dont condemn all but i encourage everyone to adopt, heck for cat lovers it's even easier since cats can follow you home anywhere! I miss those pugs and i hope all future pugs have a snout...
