I'm staggered that so many people fell for this - I suppose it's a varient of "I saw it on TV so it must be true"!Well done Jemima. Why do you think dogs pant? Don't exist striped Pug! I love the idea in part. keep making zebra pugs please, my mom loves them, I would do anything to keep her happy, plus this is so cool, science help people in history, it made people happy, now create more zebra pugs! Tipped/pointed colours were available overseas but as we can't import rodents, the breeders fell over themselves when I made my announcement. STOP WITH THE EFFING MODIFICATIONS!! Now I get it! Please post the source of the information, names of scientists or university involved. This is Ch Kysarah's Pot of Gold. WTF are you talking about? I once put brown eyeshadow on my cream coloured pet rat's nose, ears and tail and claimed to have bred the first siamese rat in Australia . And this is before we get into that whole genetically modified scene. And get a sense of proportion. In this case, it would be more reflective, but only marginally. No more misery for them. Breeding for a longer snout. What were you thinking when writing down AIDS? The ego's of some scientists certainly know no bounds!!!! Cute doesn't justify the pain that some of these animals go through as they age. It was an interesting experiment, and no reason *I* can see for having a collective conniption fit. April Tuschen Institute in Frankfurt.Good one! But, let (more) studies be done to prove that the strips can help. I don't know how to respond to this, besides telling you to re-read what I wrote and not facepalm at your own misinterpretation of my wording. Another "good" idea would be to have prisoners train the dogs. The UK pug standard now asks for "relatively large" eyes and penalises prominent eyes in show dogs. Humans did wrong by the pug, and that's fact. Yeah.You know what would improve their heat regulation even more than stripes? They are worth saving. Nitpicking an April fool's prank probably means the joke is on me, though. Please do not say it is a joke. http://pomskyhq.comDoes anyone have any feedback? they used paint or something like that. I was hoping that this was some sort of sick joke but it appears to be true! Human intevention where it isn't needed. ?..sorry nope.Pugs don;t drool.think you are quite correct on that onetheir eyes don;t pop out.they can and have in particularly prominent ones. Small leg ratios, really?!?!? Don't exist April Tauschen Institute in WEB. if it doesn't hurt them, who cares? Also amusing to see that several of the repeat posters on this blog appear to have had SoH removals at some point. Anonymous 13:04 check the date! Two, sometimes three, broods are produced each year and the adults are on the wing in April and May (sometimes earlier), July and August, and sometimes later in the autumn [1]. His owner explained, "He is like our child, and I would never use anything that would hurt him or be bad for him." I wouldn't mind a zebra striped dog at all its very attractive.I wouldn't like a pug though thats very unattractive in its present form. It flies at night and is attracted to light and flowers, both of its food plants and others.The larva feeds on the flowers of a huge range of plants (see list below) and has also been known to feed on the larvae of other Lepidoptera. It's not because it's solid, but because it's dark. Domestication of the canine was a huge evolutionary step for himans, I think it's worth trying to restore and preserve this part of our history. It is a widespread and common species, being found throughout the Palearctic region, the Near East and North Africa.This is a variable species but always easy to recognize due to the two prominent dark fascia across each forewing which give the species its common name. they breathe just fine in normal weather.depends what you class as normal and fine.And their tails are awesome..the double tightly curled tail is itself a form of hemivertebra. I agree, if someone want to waste money on that its their business, that image is so horribly photoshopped i cant. Probably not. care about getting rid of those unlivable pushed in faces, then i will believe you actually care about the dog. I don't know if this is good news or bad?. I laughed though when you referenced AIDS to retroviruses, as if its a prime example, when it only has an indirect relation to it. It's certainly not doing white bulldogs much benefit. I guess it would depend on whether the pug would clash with your decor or not.. ;-P. Same anon again, as for rereading the post, I'm optimistic about this. Breed healthy striped dogs get rid of the pug/bulldog/french bulldog as breeds completely? !! The deed is done, a long time ago people didn't understand genetics correctly and made some poor descisions, now we have to deal with it. It's a pretty color. I wish they did allow more coat colors to be recognized with pugs, so that they can have a bigger gene diversity. It can't circulate air properly. It's the breathing that screws the pug up. To the person above asking about Pomsksies. Yes when it is new there may be a fad appeal, we are all aware of human nature with something rare, but like all things that will end soon enough as the 'new' color mainstreams. It's the best time of the year!!!! No. And I'm hardly the first to use the comparison. how do i know?the stipes go a millimeter off the pug. :-). Such excellent scientific research and experimentation should be commended, not condemned, by those who wish to improve the breed. Thank you for making me smile on the first day of this month. This is the footage of the German Shepherd that was edited out of last night's TV broadcast on Channel 4. Good times. Is it really going to help the breed because the stripes cool them down. i really don't understand the upset. They already have the outfit.Okay, I REALLY need to get a life!!!!! Buy one if you have to. Thin coats, crooked spines, gigantism? REVEALED: the Crufts GSD footage they didn't want you to see, GSD winner "among the worst I have ever seen" says world's leading locomotion expert, GSDs at Crufts 2016: the continuing travesty, Shocking new study: German Shepherds die because they can no longer stand up, BREAKING NEWS: KC survey reveals apocalyptic drop in purebred dog longevity. still, i have to wonder at the extreme upset i saw on here. * filthy lucre. Higher rates of cancer or health issues than other dogs? If it does not damage the dog in health or bring other illness in to the dog breed, I do not mind at all, if people are crazy and want to pay a lot for a Zebra pug, they have to much money anyhow. You wanna fix the pug? The inspired work of the great Dr. Strangelove continues to innovate and confound those who lack imagination. I'm baffled I even found this. A pug is not a zebra, so why the hell would you want it look like one? Money on a transmutant striped pug? How amusing, such hoopla and posturing from so many! I've only seen this now and I note also the date on which it was posted. Thanks for making me laugh at myself, Jemima! Denuded retrovirii are used in gene therapy as they're so good at getting into cells. !Also love the outraged replies followed by the clatter of lots of pennies dropping . ; ). The colour is lightened by the white striping - the lighter, the more reflective. Also, if you want to respond to what I said, then reply to it, not put a comment that is way farther down. Enough is enough ,Stop trying to play god you bloody fool and research something more useful like how to stop cot death or maybe cancer .You call yourself a scientist , your just a bloody idiot . The fact that some of the pug is white will have no affect on the pug's over-heating. It was funny when it appeared on Facebook 2 weeks ago, and is still funny now, even if secondhand. So, a pale fawn pug would reflect heat better than a pug with any black, solid or striped. It feels disjointed. That being said, if (theoretically) it were by my perimeters throughout history, Pugs wouldn't even exist. We all admire tigers and zebras, and if science can add this color pattern to dogs, and the kennel clubs accept this, then I see no big deal. Pomskys are legit to a degree.you just never know if the Pomsky you get is really a pomsky. The dog on the left is Arnie - a former AKC show-dog. unless there was a negative effect from it, the worst thing i see about the stripes is that more people would want these unfortunate dogs, and more would have to be born to accommodate the market tend. While we are at it, lets put down all people with down syndrom, since their genetically inferior to the rest of us as well, and we wouldn't want them to suffer. Stop behaving as if wonder and beauty are bad things and as if wanting something pretty is somehow a sign of poor character. Not worth even talking about, besides the artificial horizontal gene transfer, which is a good breakthrough to re-literate since it is done to dogs more often. Let me remind you all nearly all dogbreed come from the wolf and nearly none of theme look like one, all dog breed are human manipulated to the breed they are to day. Serves me right for being a literal-minded irritable dog-world fed-up dog nerd myself!:-). The hindwings are pale grey with darker fringes and a small black discal spot. I far more concerned with the pushed in faces on the pugs than i am about any stripes. why care? i just scrolled down to see this was an april 1st post. Only after they extensively explain it do they move on to AIDS as an example for another topic, which has to do with what test subjects to use.I stand by my point of invalid use of the term AIDS, if slightly, as it is only a result of HIV, when we are on topic of what retroviruses do, equal to talking about a topic (lets say old-world cannons) that is a derivative of artillery, then giving an example of "much like the one that causes nuclear explosions". its a joke. I think they where talking about things they would not allow in ALL breeds, not just talking about pugs. They wound up bringing a smile to a lot more people's faces too. Using a white Siberian tiger as inspiration, the makeup artist turned the pup into a much fiercer animal, just to, as they wrote in the caption of the YouTube video featuring their creation, "bring a smile to her face." I just can't view this a great news for pugs :-(. From the makers of Pedigree Dogs Exposed, the latest news and views regarding inherited disorders and conformation issues in purebred dogs. I really like the silver fawn coat (though it's not recognized with the American pug parent club). Compared to what? JUST LEAVE THEM BE! Love the comments on this post, just wondering do they feed the stripey puglets on spaghetti from the spaghetti tree? I work with dogs, and can tell you that pugs are a result of humans choosing looks over health. Unless you actually have a solution to tje problem stop bitching. No, while it is true that Bully breeds have been bred with health on the backburner, letting this part of our history disappear is an unjustifiable answer, we are the FIRST species to genetically alter anothers through selective breeding in the history of earth. It's a transgene from the Mustela nigripes.Jemima. my upset is that breeders and consumers claim and even believe they love dogs, then they breed and purchase dogs who cannot have a normal life because of the bizarre shape they have been bred into. And SkyArk: you are a stupid tool. The cosmetics genius used their skills to transform a French bulldog named Loki into a totally different species. Hmmmmm.. Ive just posted the equivalent of 100 quid to Unicef, who tell me that small amount should secure access to clean, drinkable water for roughly 10 kids. To help cool down. The dog on the right is Flint, bred in the Net Ralph Rckert Take a good look into this French Bulldog's eyes. Why people feel the need to change an animal to match their preferences is beyond me. The pug has been reshaped through breeding to the point that there is practically no way to help aid it's over-heating/breathing problems. THEY ARE NOT DOING THE ANIMALS ANY GOOD! Pugs don;t drool, their eyes don;t pop out, they breathe just fine in normal weather (sibertian huskies shouldn't be out in the 90 degree temperature, either). Maybe you have f-ed up dogs in the UK, but the crap about pugs is simply not true -- or overblown (or again, some UK only issue?!?!?). Shame the US standard doesn't follow suite. just breathing can be a night mare for them, and people on here are upset about stripes? I'm astonsihed at the number of people who are so determined to see evil in the world of dogs that they abandon their intelligence and fail to actually read what's written and thus come to an independent point of view! But adding stripes to a fawn pug would not create black and white stripes, but fawn and white stripes, because the stripes are inhibited, not concentrated, pigment. The very explanation to breed them to raise funds to further research is disgusting. And their tails are awesome (vs, frenchies and others with no tail at all). It'd be even funnier than Jemima's clever April Fool if it wasn't so tragic. Genetic modification is something we are learning as we go, I think we should work together to preserve these breeds while reducing their health problems. Nice job! At first I thought it was for real! The choco tan pug is real.Don't Lie!!! YES! When a sibling is upset, most people resort to hugs or maybe a joke to cheer them up, but what one makeup artist and body painter did puts them all to shame. love the photoshop in this image, did it take about 10 minutes? Cute though aint it. I think thats pretty damn impressive, did we know what we were doing? Ohhooops! Perhaps if they can breed a nice black watch plaid-coated? It is just a minor annoyance for me in the end though. There are already too many unwanted dogs in this world, too many puppies being bred in puppy farms, too many 'designer' dogs being bred and trafficked in from shady breeding sites. but stripes? I know this is an older post, but can I just say that you make me want to smash my computer with a brick? Don't know about anyone else, but I am holding out for a houndstooth pattern coat. How could this possibly go wrong?!? It is completely photoshop. http://news.nationalgeographic.co.uk/news/2002/01/0111_020111genmice.htmlJemima. You need to re-check your facts. Loki seemed to love the attention.
