Harmony Pugs
Meet the breeder
I'm Susan R., the breeder behind Harmony Pugs located in Burnet, TX. As a preservation breeder, I strive to improve the Pug breed and meet the AKC standard. I breed with the next show dog in mind, but of course, not every puppy will be show quality and those puppies will be placed in forever companion pet homes on a spay/neuter contract.
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
In 2017 Harmony Pugs welcomed the birth of our first black Pug, CH Harmony's Once Upon A Time, "Snow". Snow is a champion granddaughter of "Roxy", my treasured foundation bitch, Hill Country's Night At The Roxbury.What makes your program special?
At Harmony Pugs, our focus is to create healthy, show quality Pugs. This means a concentration on structure, temperament, and health. Health testing/screening includes eyes (CERF), patellas, and hips (at 2 years per OFA). I support PDE (Pug Dog Encephalitis) susceptibility testing. All Harmony Pugs are tested for PDE markers and breedings are carefully matched to avoid producing S/S marked puppies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Harmony Pugs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Pugs.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
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.
Pug Dog Encephalitis (PDE)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
