About Us
Welcome to the Pug
The Pug originated in the Orient and came to America through Holland and England. The Pug is the largest dog in the Toy Group. He has the advantage of a small size, which makes him easy to carry and care for, yet he is sturdy for fun & games. The Pug’s motto is the Latin phrase “multum in parvo” (a lot in a little)—an apt description of this small but muscular breed. The large round head, the big, sparkling eyes, and the wrinkled brow give Pugs a range of human-like expressions—surprise, happiness, curiosity—that have delighted owners for centuries.
Pug owners say their breed is the ideal house dog. Pugs are happy in the city or country, with kids or old folks, as an only pet or in a pack. They enjoy their food, and care must be taken to keep them trim. They do best in moderate climates—not too hot, not too cold—but, with proper care, Pugs can be their adorable selves anywhere.
Our Pug Puppies
We home raise our Pug puppies in the center of our family. This early socialization and interaction with people and other animals makes for a calm, happy Pug. Our puppies are handled, played with, and socialized every single day. Show training begins at an early age to evaluate potential show candidates. They are confident and expect nothing but love and kindness in return. We are committed to placing them in loving homes where they will be given only the best care, which they are so deserving of.
We do not breed as a business, we do it as a result of the love and betterment of the breed. We Guarantee our puppies to be in good health at the time of sale. Free from any life threatening congenital defects/infectious disease. Everything possible has been done to keep each and every Pug healthy and happy.
Happy, Healthy Bloodline
We maintain the highest standards for the well-being of our pups. All of our parent Pugs are PDE Tested to ensure no genetic transmission from generation to generation. We evaluate our lines to ensure healthy, structurally sound offspring. Our puppies are bred for health, temperament, and conformation (quality). No two dogs are ever just thrown together to let the chips fall where they may. Our parents are carefully selected. Our Pugs are fed a top-quality premium pet food and examined on a continual basis by our veterinarians. Our puppies are growing babies, and are given their own playtime where they are allowed to go outside to exercise their muscles and play together!
Our goal is not for you to just adopt a pet, but also to find the perfect new family member!
The AKC Pug Standard
General Appearance Symmetry and general appearance are decidedly square and cobby. A lean, leggy Pug and a dog with short legs and a long body are equally objectionable. Size, Proportion, Substance The Pug should be multum in parvo, and this condensation (if the word may be used) is shown by compactness of form, well knit proportions, and hardness of developed muscle. Weight from 14 to 18 pounds (dog or bitch) desirable. Proportion square. Head The head is large, massive, round-not apple-headed, with no indentation of the skull. The eyes are dark in color, very large, bold and prominent, globular in shape, soft and solicitous in expression, very lustrous, and, when excited, full of fire. The ears are thin, small, soft, like black velvet. There are two kinds-the "rose" and the "button." Preference is given to the latter. The wrinkles are large and deep. The muzzle is short, blunt, square, but not upfaced. Bite-A Pug's bite should be very slightly undershot. Neck, Topline, Body The neck is slightly arched. It is strong, thick, and with enough length to carry the head proudly. The short back is level from the withers to the high tail set. The body is short and cobby, wide in chest and well ribbed up. The tail is curled as tightly as possible over the hip. The double curl is perfection. Forequarters The legs are very strong, straight, of moderate length, and are set well under. The elbows should be directly under the withers when viewed from the side. The shoulders are moderately laid back. The pasterns are strong, neither steep nor down. The feet are neither so long as the foot of the hare, nor so round as that of the cat; well split-up toes, and the nails black. Dewclaws are generally removed. Hindquarters The strong, powerful hindquarters have moderate bend of stifle and short hocks perpendicular to the ground. The legs are parallel when viewed from behind. The hindquarters are in balance with the forequarters. The thighs and buttocks are full and muscular. Feet as in front. Coat The coat is fine, smooth, soft, short and glossy, neither hard nor woolly. Color The colors are silver, apricot-fawn, or black. The silver or apricot-fawn colors should be decided so as to make the contrast complete between the color and the trace and the mask. Markings The markings are clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, moles on cheeks, thumb mark or diamond on forehead, and the back trace should be as black as possible. The mask should be black. The more intense and well defined it is, the better. The trace is a black line extending from the occiput to the tail. Gait Viewed from the front, the forelegs should be carried well forward, showing no weakness in the pasterns, the paws landing squarely with the central toes straight ahead. The rear action should be strong and free through hocks and stifles, with no twisting or turning in or out at the joints. The hind legs should follow in line with the front. There is a slight natural convergence of the limbs both fore and aft. A slight roll of the hindquarters typifies the gait which should be free, self-assured, and jaunty. Temperament This is an even-tempered breed, exhibiting stability, playfulness, great charm, dignity, and an outgoing, loving disposition.
