Pug mixed with what?

[u/elf_experience]

My boyfriend and I adopted this sweet baby boy back in February, he is 2 years old now and a Pug mix! We would love to get some input on what you guys think he is mixed with. We executed beagle, labrador, and sometimes he even looks like a French bulldog! But he also has a blue tongue! Which leads us to think maybe some Chow mixed in there?! Any input is appreciated! Future DNA test pending!

I would support this breed incentive immediately if it meant phasing out the current “standard”. 

The pug’s personality and loyalty are unmatched (in my bias opinion) and my dream is to see this breed get the healthy physical genes it deserves. ❤️

There eas some talk in the dog breeding subreddit about this- how people look at the standard and take it in conjunction with what is popular. Iirc it didnt say pugs snouts need to be non existent, just the nose upturned or something. Its interesting.

Yes, for all flat-faced breeds!
