Q. & A. with Kathleen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Before starting my breeding program, I did research on the Pug breed. That’s why I searched different markets for each of my babies. Oliver is from Missouri, Sophia is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and Snow and Maggie are from Northern Ohio. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.

  • What makes your program special?

    I take pride in offering the best family pets. I am dedicated to serving the needs of my puppy's future parents each and every day. My entire home revolves around my dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. I strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded 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.

    Kathleen was awesome from the start! We found Morticia's picture and immediately had to know more about this adorable pup. Her name caught our attention but we fell in love with her face. I messaged Kathleen and she immediately offered to FaceTime with us. We instantly felt reassured through the voice on the other end of the line. It was obvious in that moment and every moment after that the puppies were well cared for and loved. Kathleen kept in touch along the way providing frequent updates, pictures and videos. Kathleen helped with the transportation and pick up, meeting us halfway. Morticia (Mo Mo ) came home to live with us, in the Buffalo NY area, very much socialized and on her way with some great training/routine. We could not be happier, and love our Baby Morticia so, so much. Such a great experience, thank you Kathleen!!

    Working with Kathleen was a delight! She took amazing care of the puppies and made sure that I got all the updates I could need! While waiting over 2 months for my little nugget felt like FOREVER, she made it as smooth and stress free as possible and I’ll never be able to thank her enough for taking such good care of my baby girl.

    Kathleen was so accommodating and communicative. We absolutely are in love with our puppy. He was clearly socialized, well cared for, and handsome. Thank you for such a seamless process and making us comfortable with purchasing a puppy sight unseen. I would highly recommend this breeder.

    Very well! We met halfway in Ohio as we are from Michigan and just met at a public safe spot to transfer the rest of the money and the pup!
