I wonder what the Hapsburgs would have thought about pugs

  Explanation: the Hapsburgs were a powerful historical dynasty, mostly known nowadays for serving as a warning about the dangers of inbreeding. They became known for their deformities, chiefly the Hapsburg jaw.

  Pugs are a popular breed of dog that have been deliberately bred to have severe facial deformities. They are usually considered cute despite the many health complications their nonexistent jaw causes, such as difficulty with basic tasks like eating and breathing.

  Probably the same way Putin feels about Dobby.

  They have living descendants (no longer degenerate or even slightly visually reminiscent of the well known ones) so theoretically you could just ask.

    That would be an interesting conversation.

    On a completely unrelated note, they no longer have access to an army of mercenaries to send after anyone who’s wronged them, right?

    I think they were more into incest than beastiality.
