For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

The only way that it'll become better is if the standard for the pug changes. The UK kennel club has updated it's standard to include a healthier head and muzzle shape. Unfortunately the American Kennel Club has not yet done so. The pugs that are presented at Westminster are sickening.

I also take beef with the awful roached back of the German Shepherd show standard.

The German shepherd thing is absolutely insane to me.

It's a working dog and it's not like other breeds where there aren't examples out there.

IRC there's a working line and the east german line with far less issues. They simply refuse to interbreed dogs with them.

Yes, there was uproar over a prize-winning GSD at Crufts one year, it looked crippled.
