I'm April H., the breeder behind Lil'Farm Pugs located in Watertown, WI. I want my kids to have a dog.
Or maybe two or three.
They'll learn from them much easier
Than they will learn from me.
A dog will teach him how to love
And bear no grudge or hate;
I'm not so good at that myself
But a dog will do it straight.
Q. & A. with April
Why did you start breeding?
It was passed on to me through my grandfather's love of pugs.
What makes your program special?
I'd say the personal care and knowledge our dogs and puppies get from our family.
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.

Andre S.
Verified owner · Sept. 2024
April was an exceptional communicator and incredibly responsive to all my questions as a first-time dog owner. It's clear that she and her family truly care for pugs. They even had a thorough screening process, leading to a great conversation and helped identify the perfect pup for me. Thanks to April, I found my sweet pug puppy, Nyla.
April provided all the health records and warmly welcomed me when I picked up Nyla. She answered all my questions and offered valuable tips from her decades of experience raising pugs. Now, Nyla is a happy and healthy one year and nine-month pug puppy, and we couldn't be more in love with her. I feel so lucky to have connected with April and brought Nyla into our lives. If you're looking for your next pug puppy, I highly recommend contacting April from Lil Farm Pugs!
