All of our adult pugs are treated like members of our family each with a
happy go lucky and playful temperament. They are an EXCELLENT family dog being known for
such good nature toward children. Very sound and sturdy for such a small dog.
Here are some of the questions and facts about Pugs that we have been asked over
the years as well as some cautions ….
Some of questions you should be asking breeders are….
Do your Pugs have eye problems? Eyes can protrude too much out of the skull and
Pugs can actually have the eye pop out of the head. 99.9% of the time the eye
must be removed.
No we do not have this problem!
Do your Pugs have throat problems?
Pugs can have elongated soft palates. It can be corrected but is extremely
pricey. No we do not have this problem?
Are the parents on site and can we see them?
You should always see the parents. It is a good indication as what your Pug will
look like. Also responsible breeders should welcome you for a visit. We look
forward to visits and are extremely proud of our kennel and the quality of Pugs
we have as well as the effort and care we take of cleanliness for our dogs and
kennel.
We require a $100.00 deposit to hold a puppy.
We have a puppy contract which is available and explains prices, food
recommendations etc. You will receive a signed copy upon making a deposit.
Puppies are picked out in the order in which we receive deposits.
Yes, our Pugs have double curls in their tails.
All our puppies have had at least 2 of their puppy shots when they go home with
their new parents.
All puppies will have been Veterinarian Checked and come with a guarantee.
We keep our puppies with their mothers until they are about 6 weeks old and then
they are taken away in the daytime for the next week and returned for bedtime.
At that point they start being separated and put in their own crate for sleeping
and returned with the rest of their littermates for daytime play.
Our puppies go home with their new owners at 8 to 12 weeks depending on the
size of the litter. Average is 10 weeks.
We do not sell for breeding. Limited registration only!
Excessive heat temperatures can be a serious danger to a Pug. Use caution in the
summer where and when you leave your Pug.
We have had Pugs for 14 years and have never known of one to bite.
Real people dogs to a fault in the fact that they will go to almost anyone just
to be friendly and people unfortunately are not all honest. We have had several
calls from broken hearted pug owners who didn’t keep a close eye on their pug in
an unfenced yard and some uncaring dishonest person grabbed them.
We always caution people and make them aware that a watchful eye and a fenced in
yard make the best insurance for a safe environment for your new family member.
We recommend crate training. It is better for the dog and owner alike. A safe
haven for your dog for rest and slumber. Good training tool which keeps your new
puppy out of trouble when unattended for short periods of time.
We always send new puppies home with there own special baby blanket complete
with the scent of their mother to help calm them and make them more comfortable
in the transitions period.
Puppies go home with enough food for a week complete with a powdered milk
replacement (Esbilac) and a recipe we have found through experience is best for
your puppy. We use IAMS products and encourage you do the same.
We will teach you a few tricks to the trade so to speak that we have learned by
observing the mothers with litters as to maintaining who is the alpha you or
your Pug. Believe me you don’t want your Pug to be Alpha. They will take over the
whole household.
We suggest a teaspoon or two of plain yogurt daily to help keep the puppy
digestive system balanced and keeps your puppy from getting the poopies. A loose
stool can be caused by something as minor as water change. We give our adults
yogurt often as a treat just to make sure the proper bacteria in the intestinal
tract is maintained.
Pugs do wonderfully in pairs or with other animals. We caution you with
unfriendly cats. Pugs with the characteristic flat face with no nose to speak of
therefore no real distance or protection when a kitty decides to slap a little
Pug who wants only to be friends and play. We know of Pugs that have gotten an
eye scratched and it will seriously damage the eye and cause loss of vision or
even loss of an eye.
We suggest a halter opposed to a collar. Halters are less constrictive and make
great handles when you need to pick up a Pug.
Small children should always be sitting when picking up a puppy or holding a Pug
Puppy. Pugs are very full of energy and can easily slip out of small little
hands and get injured. We know of puppies getting legs broken and bruised ribs
or heaven forbid worse. Supervision is a must!!!
By all means please contact us for any further questions you may have.
Thank you…..Valerie
