I sent my own long letter telling them my thoughts on the matter. Pug folks I know are furious. Oh boy. I know that the rescues do NOT like taking in puggles, they are so hard to place, and few are willing to adopt them and the baggage they seem to carry. The whole thing makes my stomach roll.

I should have aimed my sarcasm a little better. It wasn't meant as an actual ? for the board, but more for the idiots doing the program. It really doesn't take much thought on their part to realize that they are spewing pure Bullstuff. I am simply amazed at the stupidity a lot of people seem to exude from every action or word they say.

On that note I have so far emailed 15 Pug rescues telling them of the letters we have written and suggesting they may wish to do the same. The Beagle rescues are next on my list.

Well done and I did fire off a letter too but I have to be careful because I had a long battle with an actual puggle breeder it travelled from forum to forum and I would like it to remain in the past, and not affect this forum anymore then it already had. Do not want to open a can of worms again. So I leave it at this, I sent a letter to them expressing my concerns and my extreme disappointment in them.

Someone on a pug forum got a response, not the automated one.


OK- I actually got an email back from FOX:

I personally agree with you and urge you to write NY Post directly, where the story came from. You can find their contact info on www.nypost.com.

I will also forward your email to the Foxlife editor.

Good Morning, I watch the today show every morning. This morning I they were discussing how the Puggles were the must haves right now. Someone even compared them to purchasing sports tickets. You guys must know the influence you have over the general public and as such I would expect you would understand that by telling people these dogs are a must have this year you are only adding to the problems this little guys face.Just as with the Dalmatians, the GSD's the Great Danes, the Pugs and more have been that years must have pet soon there will be a HUGE influx of these "Puggles" which are simply designer mutts in the shelters and being put to sleep.People should not be encouraged to buy a living creature as an accessories for the season. Puppy Mills had a GREAT time with the Doodles the last thing these poor dogs need is someone that everyone looks up to telling people these are the "must haves" that puppy stores can not keep up with he demand.I have a great respect and fondness for you all and your show as I have grown up watching them however I must say I am very very saddened and appalled. You of all people should be promoting responsible pet ownership, you are involved in the news, you know the overpopulation problems.Please remember if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. If you feel you must do a story on a designer mutt then feel free to also provide the Pug and Beagle rescue in information s MANY of those rushing out to buy a "Puggle" will need the info shortly.Thank You for your time,Trinity BalmonteModesto, CA
I only changed a few things in my letter from the Today Show for the NY Post.
