Bulldogs and pugs are a very divisive issue among dog owners. At very least do some very deep research into their health problems and how much they may cost you in vets bills before making your mind up. Five figure bills are a very real thing.
Ultimately it's your choice of course, but I personally could not support a trade in any of those dogs. I base this on things I have read written by vets, things I have seen (pugs with eyes hanging out and frenchies dying from overheating in 21 degree weather) and the experiences of friends who have owned them (ten thousand pound bills for spinal problems and having to carry tissues to wipe their arses) . They are not for the faint of of heart or light of wallet quite apart from the ethical debate.

My girlfriend and I are perilously close to getting a dog together.
The problem is choosing the breed, she would like a French Bulldog and I’d prefer one of the English variety. Or should we just split the difference and get a Pug?
