From a concerned member of Pugman.com
First Note:
I have visited you site and to tell the truth you have a lot of very good information, that is right always the but. Well on you breathing problems, the goose honk can also come from a Pug or any flat faced canine wearing a collar. The collar can cause the trachea to collapse; I have one Pug that only had a collar on for going to the Vet. My Vet informed me of this problem many a year ago. Since a lot of people visit you site it would be most appreciated for the love of all Pugs to pass this information on.
Thanks Carol Corley, SC

Second Note:
Thanks for the reply at least I know some one is paying attention. I have also know from first hand experience that a collar can be removed easily from any round or apple headed canine, I also have had people tell me of terrible accidents that the tags on a collar became tangled in fences, boards of decks, kennels door and caused deaths. The collars on all round or flat faced canines have to be tighter than canines with a snout and yes, this is wrong. That is why all flat faced canines should have a harness.
Keep-up the good work for the love of Pugs.
