Pug

These cuties are roughly the same size they were a century ago, but they were bred to have bigger eyes and flatter noses. Unfortunately, it has been linked to breathing problems and other health issues.

 

Newfoundland

While they appear rather similar, Newfoundlands were likely much smaller than they are today. "Dogs of all Nations" writes that the breed weighed somewhere around 100 pounds back in 1915, whereas today, Newfoundland males can weigh up to 150 pounds.

 

Scottish Terrier

The coat of the Scottish terrier is now much longer, and also has a slightly different texture, which makes it softer. 100 years ago, their coat used to be wiry.

 

West Highland white terrier

This cutie hasn't changed a lot during the years (probably because he was already so darn cute), but the fur became a little bit longer and thicker.
