Their snouts are too long and their eyes are weird. They’re not cute, they’re another cautionary tale about selective breeding like pugs.

They’re an Afghan hound crossed with a Taigan. Their snouts are long to increase their scent receptors and their eyes are set farther forward to find and track its prey. Historically, wolves.
Don’t hate on puppy, they are dumb but sweet. Hate on the human breeders/buyers that keep the problems going. They are the true cautionary tale here.

Do they have severe health problems like pugs?

Not the same ones but as far as I know all purebreds are prone to issues due to inbreeding.

I've owned a few. The vet bills are ginormous. They don't live long, neither.
