Q. & A. with Renee
Why did you start breeding?
I have raised animals my entire life. I have always lived on property . We raised Rottweilers and Boston terriers when I was younger. I loved every second. I got into raising pugs when my son at 1 years old now 14 was in love with the movie Milo and Otis. We became in love with pugs and could not wait to get one. We purchased our first pug mr wrinkles in 2018 and so in love with the breed .
What makes your program special?

We raise them in our family home with our kids , cats and other dogs . I have taken the time to get my dogs from amazing breeders that have been raising pugs for over 20 years. My dogs are akc registered and have champion lines.

Renee was amazing. She supported us along the way to help us find the perfect pup for our family. We were able to meet our puppy virtually and it was very clear she takes loving care all of her dogs and puppies. She responded quickly and thoroughly to all questions. She was so knowledgeable and shared many tips for us as new pug owners which has made the transition smooth. We are so in love with our puppy and are very thankful to have worked with Renee. And the puppy is SO cute 😍.

Renee was an excellent communicator throughout the process of bringing home our pug, Bruno. She went above and beyond, providing personal touches such as a collection of professional photographs of Bruno and a handmade blanket when we picked him up. She sincerely loves all of her pugs and wants the best for them. Unlike some breeders, she does this as a hobby, not just a business. It's truly her passion and she ensures that her pugs are bred from the best lines possible, are healthy, and find happy homes. We love Bruno so much, and we appreciate Renee's attention to detail and hard work making him the puppy of our dreams!
