 JK> (geez, they're a yearold or more now Lol) don't seem to be 'bothered'
 JK> by anything hehe.. Good mutt stock I think Lol

Yeah, like we tell the teenagers, it's the best time of Your life! 8)

 JK> I wonder if the reaction your pug had was more related to the breed,
 JK> since Pugs do so much breathing through those funny noses they have?

My experience with pugs is just a bit, So I can't speak for all owners of 
pugs or even pugs in General. They are pugs, but they are different. Heck, My 
first Newf was a drooler big time, as is the stereotype. He reminded You of 
Hooch on turner and hooch. The second was as dry as a lab.  Barney, 
who had the trouble, would snore, and thats about it. Except when real hot, 
and then he would weeze uncontrolably. But if kept cool, he was ok. The Two I 
have now, are the same in the heat.. It is tough for them with the pushed in 
face to breath in the heat. Did You guys down there, hear about the animal 
control officer up here who caught 2 pugs that had escaped from their yard 
and put them in the animal control van? The Van had no air conditioning, and 
it was one of those hot days this summer we had. He went in to McDonalds to 
get a cold drink for himself, it was so hot, and when he came back out, The 
poor babies died of overheating. Many people support this officer, and I 
don't want to see him lose his livelihood, but if anyone should know enough 
to not leave a dog, especially the pug type, in a uncooled van, He should 
have!! If I would have done it, and they called him on me, I would have been 
in some trouble. Oh well that is another story, but I feel sorry for the 
woman who lost her puppies.

The Boyz take advantix now and unlike Barney, have no problems breathing at 
all. So it just may depend on the sensitivity of the dog.
