About Us

Litter of Pups

Our primary goal: to raise happy, healthy, well-socialized pug puppies and find caring homes for each.

All of our adult dogs were carefully chosen as puppies from responsible breeders, raised in our home, and are not only our pets, but members of our family, as we hope your new puppy will become. All or our dogs and puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), receive regular veterinary care, and have a diet of high quality, nutritious dog food.

Only healthy females are bred. Each received nutritional supplements, highly nutritious food, and care she needs to have a healthy, pleasant pregnancy and birthing experience. After giving birth, the special care continues to ensure her well-being as well as the health of her puppies.

At birth, our puppies begin their socialization with people through lots of tender, loving contact. We think it is important for the puppies to not only bond with Mom, but with people, as well.

We think it is a vital part of a puppy's care to accept being handled in different positions. We start this process from birth so that things like trips to the vet, trimming nails, bathing, and examining the puppy are welcomed, positive experiences from early life through adulthood for puppy (and owners!).

When our puppies reach the appropriate age, they are wormed. A week or so later, at 6-7 weeks of age, they visit the veterinarian for a check up and first shots. It is our practice never to inundate the puppy with worming and immunizations the same week. We believe it the healthiest choice for the puppy in the short and long run.

We stand behind the care of our adults and puppies with one year health guarantees and are here for the lifetime of your puppy! --- Enjoy!
