Not unhealthy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pug#Health_problems

Have a read of those!
And as for the advert itself, I wasn't talking SPECIFICALLY about THAT dog (although we have no way to tell if its health tested or not so thats purely speculation) I was talking in general about the breed.

I dont understand what a chihuahua would have to offer health wise to a pug?
- The pointer and dalmation out crossing was done because of a genetic defect that affected dalmations the comformation of both breeds are quite similar.

I understand that, but its not to hard to beleive that such an advert is not one from a breeder who has the health of her dogs at the forefront of their intention.

Took this bit from your link.

Which highlights the reasons why you would not mix two different breeds , not much point when both suffer from the same ailments.

Chi`s suffer the same ailments as many a toy breed, one of which is the pug.

As I sad, not ALL pugs suffer from hereditary ailments, many breeders DO health test their dogs (even if no requirements are asked for) and and ensure they only breed from those dogs who are not over exaggerated , their are plenty of happy healthy pugs out there, much better to be more selective within a breed, than introduce another which suffers as many health issues (or more) than the one you are trying to improve.

You are so far from the mark

In a later post you describe a Dalmatian imported from the USA that has 1 Pointer in it's pedigree many generations back as a "Dally pointer", the bitch isn't a "Dally Pointer"cross she has 1 pointer some 13/14 generations back in the pedigree. To quote the LUAdalmatian site

This was done with the genetic knowledge that Dalmatians would improve in health.

Willy nilly crossing any two breeds together is not the same as the LUA Dalmatian project, so simply putting to different breeds together that have similar health problems is not the way to go.

BTW not ALL Pugs are sooooo unhealthy, progress will be slow improving the health of dogs, because the health problems did not just happen overnight, but have been the result of past breeding before health testing was available.

Back in the 1960s around 20% of ISDS registered Border Collies had eye problems that affected their lives, with the development of two eye tests for PRA & CEA & simply not breeding from affected dogs & known carriers(via test matings or because offspring developed the condition)has reduced it to less than 0.01% & with DNA testing will prevent 100% of CEA affected puppies being born
