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.

About Titian
Titan is a handsome, AKC-registered fawn-and-white male pug with a sturdy build, expressive golden eyes, and a sweet, affectionate nature. His coat features a beautiful blend of warm fawn tones accented by striking white markings, giving him a distinctive and eye-catching look.
Known for his gentle personality, Titan is a devoted companion who loves people and enjoys spending time with children. He has a playful side that keeps everyone entertained, but he’s also perfectly content to relax and soak up affection.
Titan’s temperament is steady and loving—qualities that shine through in his puppies. He pairs especially well with Petunia, producing litters with excellent conformation, friendly dispositions, and a variety of beautiful coat colors.
As a sire, Titan consistently passes on his strong build, balanced features, and affectionate nature. His past litters with Petunia have produced rare brindle-patterned puppies, making their pairing highly anticipated among pug lovers.

About Petunia
Petunia is a petite, AKC-registered black pug with a big personality in a small package. Born the runt of her litter, she quickly proved that size doesn’t define spirit. She is confident, curious, and loving, with a touch of regal charm that makes her stand out.
Petunia has a strong brindle lineage—her mother was brindle—which gives her the ability to produce rare and striking brindle puppies. Her coat is a glossy, jet-black, and her expressive eyes are always alert and full of life.
She adores people, is wonderfully gentle with children, and gets along well with other dogs. Petunia’s temperament is a perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle-ready sweetness. She enjoys outdoor adventures, but is just as happy curled up next to her family on the couch.
As a dam, Petunia is attentive and nurturing, ensuring her puppies are well-fed, clean, and loved from day one. Her past litters have produced healthy, well-socialized puppies with charming personalities—often with the sought-after brindle pattern.

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 amazing. Her weekly updates and responsiveness really made us feel comfortable. You could tell that she had real love for each of the puppies.

We had a great experience working with Kathleen and adore our pup. I originally was in contact with her mom, Barbara, but Kathleen ended up bringing our pup to meet us on the East Coast. Kathleen was very accommodating and easy to communicate with and took great care of the puppies.
Marbury is now the light of our lives and we could not be happier with him. He's got a sparkling personality, more charm than anybody should have, and is quite a cuddle bug. He's been very healthy and has stayed nice and trim despite us always filling up the kibble bowl. When it's time for another pup, I won't hesitate to go back to House of Briggs.

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!
