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?
My breeding program is special because I am a small hobby breeder that has put a lot of work and dedication into breeding happy , healthy , beautiful pugs . 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.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, fawn, and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

When we set out to locate the perfect breeder for our daughter's very first Pug, we were delighted to have come across Renee at Gold Leaf Farm Pugs! As a previous owner of 5 Pugs throughout my life, my standards and expectations were incredibly high. Renee and the quality of her Pugs more than met those expectations! Renee's love and care for her Pugs are obvious to anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting her. When we were granted the privilege of purchasing our amazing Pug Pudding (then "Paris") via pickup at Renee's place of residence, we were gifted the opportunity of seeing where the puppies lived out the first months of their lives. Everything was clean, spacious and the puppies themselves were lively. Pudding herself, now almost 7 months old, has been INCREDIBLE. Everyone who meets her is floored by how adorable and friendly she is! She is quite the popular puppy at her veterinarians office as well 🤭. Our daughter and Pudding are inseparable and an amazing new playmate for my parents Australian Shepherd Merlin! I cannot emphasize how happy we are with the entire experience and Renee's quality of care as a breeder! If you want the healthiest, most adorable, highest quality Pugs around, look no further than Gold Leaf Farm Pugs!

We had the BEST experience. I 1000% would recommend her. If we are ever to get another pug no doubt it would be from Renee.

+4Renee 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!

Hello Renee. Just perfect! What a little loving angel he is. He slept with us last night and every night since and has been just perfect. He is curled up on my lap at my desk as I write this to Good Dog and you. You are the Best! Your philosophy of breeding the pug as a family companion is the best. When I saw the plexiglass playpen I knew I had arrived. When we witnessed and experienced all of your home pugs, we knew this was the best. We am so grateful to have found you. This little boy, Teddy is so sweet, gentle and loving. We appreciate your care and follow up. We look forward to a lasting relationship with you. As the late Robin Williams said there is no more loyal dog than a pug. He was a great lover of pugs. You are breeding pugs in the 2000 year of history that pugs were originally bred to be companions to the Buddhist monks. I found his puppy chow between the two lees feed stores. Stay well and safe. God bless you. San and Amanda.

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 😍.
