Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

I couldn't have asked for a more amazing pug puppy in every way! Karen is the best- she answered all of my questions, sent pictures, and was so great throughout the entire process from start to finish. We are so happy with our adorable girl and just love her!

I knew for many years I wanted a pug. It wasn’t until recently the opportunity and timing aligned. I searched for the perfect breeder who would welcome home my new baby. Karen was communicative throughout the whole process and made the transition so easy! From the first interaction to the flight home, the process was seamless. Little Ollie has been in our lives for about 5 months now. He has brought tremendous joy to my family and my kids. He is the most popular dog in our neighborhood! My dog walker brings him to pick her kids up from school and he is always a joy to be around. He LOVES to play fetch, his temperature is so the perfect combination of goofy, calm, and occasionally gets the zoomies! If you’re looking for the perfect pug breeder you’ve found her!! Thank you so much Karen!

Karen was a pleasure to work with! After encountering so many scammers on other sites, Karen really put our minds at ease with the whole process. She was quick to respond and answered every question we had. You can tell she really loves these dogs and takes great care of them. Our Skye is the sweetest big baby ever! She is super friendly, very affectionate, loves running around, and is already protective of our daughter. We couldn’t be happier with our newest addition to our family!

Karen was a joy to work with. She answered any question I had, communication was great throughout the whole process. She definitely cares for her dogs and breeds them well! Our Corso we got from her is thriving and has an amazing temperament.
