Meet the breeder

I'm Maria S., the breeder behind Bear Mountain Farms located in Greeneville, TN. I brought home my first pug over 17 years ago, and raised my first litter in 2007. Since then our family has always had this loving, cheerful and loyal breed in our home. We strive to raise healthy, standard size pugs that bring their families as much joy as they bring us!
