Pug breeding is NOT responsible in my opinion, in general, with the except of people strategically trying to make the breed a healthier and more humane dog. Many breeds such as corgis (another long stubby dog) that are prone to hip problems and such, will have their traits examined and rated prior to breeding.

The bulldog skull behind it looks a little more dog-ish, but they both didn't really look anything like most of the breeds' skulls there.
