I hate pugs.
Don’t get me wrong, I'm generally a massive dog lover, but if there’s one breed I can’t bear, it’s the pug. They look as if they’re run into the back of a bus. Or like maggots run to fat.
It’s a travesty of justice, then, that the pug has made it into the Top 20 most popular dog breeds, according to new figures from the Kennel Club.
I’m told, incidentally, the word ‘pug’ comes from the Latin word pugnus meaning a fist – an allusion to the way the dog’s face looks.
Less surprisingly, the labrador retriever keeps the number one spot, with more than 45,000 registrations in 2006. This breed has been steadfastly at the top of the list (do retrievers ever do anything in any way other than steadfastly?) for the past 15 years.
Hot on its heels – or should that be hot on its paws – is the cocker spaniel which clinches second place. Another farmers' favourite, the springer, comes in third.
Poor things can't help their appearance. It was man's fault for breeding them. Still miss my near 16-year old yellow lab, Flute, who had to be sent to the great kennel in the sky a while back. But her indoors forbids me from getting another - yet!

I hate pugs so much. Their breed 4 dumb little blondes to carry around in their purses. Their not even a bright breed of dog. They are the worthless cousin that needs to wears a helmet so it doesnt hurt itself. Do the world a favor and put these pore excuses of dogs down.
I AGREE 100%. See my blog http://kingishkabibble.blogspot.com/
Pugs are cats in a dog suit.
