Shelley J.

Breeder of Pugs

Meet the breeder

I'm Shelley J., the breeder behind Jacobson’s Sassy Pugs located in Scottsdale, AZ. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!

    Our puppies are silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?
