There was an article in the Times Magazine about "designer dogs" (here), in which I learned that purebred pugs generally can't get pregnant OR give birth on their own without human intervention, because their bodies don't really work. WTF is that.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

That's seriously upsetting. Then again, I couldn't get pregnant nor will I be able to give birth without some major medical intervention.
eta not to make it all about me.
I guess the breeding shows a sort of selection going on that is quicker than the usual natural type. What humans select for, though, seems stupid.

Beagles and basset hounds are making Bagels
We always just called these beagle-bassets and they were pretty common where I grew up mainly because our extended family had both beagles and bassets and they'd occasionally be mixy.

But you're not the typical human reproducer. If you know what I mean.

That article, Jesse, is seriously upsetting. Puppy Haven = puppy mill and not ashamed of it.
And the description of the pug insemination is Disturbing.
