I'm Kelly M., the breeder behind Kelz Pugz located in Holley, NY. I have been raising and showing pugz since 2006. I grew up being an avid lover of all animals, but catz, dogz and horsez are just my thing! All of our litters are born and raised underfoot in our home with health, akc show standard, proper diet and exercise are all equally empathize. We keep a small pack of well loved and equally spoiled pugz that have been with me for as far back as 5 generations at this point. We are just one big happy family.
Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the Pug breed and decided to start my own responsible breeding program in order to continue my incredible line and to share these wonderful dogs with others. I’m passionate about what I do and am dedicated to producing healthy, quality dogs.
What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.
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.

We are thrilled to have adopted Sammy the Wonder Dog from Kelly at Kelz Pugz! Sam is absolutely gorgeous and has a beautiful temperament and personality. He immediately fit in with our other two Pugs who just love him. Kelly is extremely ethical and breeds some of the greatest Pugs you will ever find. Your lives will be enriched when one of Kelly's Pugs joins your family. Sammy is our second Pug from Kelly and we could not be happier. Thank you Kelly. We love you!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
