I'm Eartha H., the breeder behind Ava's Pugs located in Pilot Rock, OR. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! We focus on the proper development of all our puppies because we know that each one is unique and deserving of undivided love and attention. Each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors to ensure health, happiness, and harmony at the start of its life. With our pups, being adorable is a given, but producing healthy, loving, and intellegent dogs is our true goal. This is not a registered litter meant for pet only homes.
Q. & A. with Eartha
Why did you start breeding?
In my line of work I was seeing unhealthy pugs with poor confirmation. I would watch them grow to have multiple health and behavioral problems and think we can do better!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
