Meet the breeder

I'm Jean E., the breeder behind Millpond Pugs located in Sacramento, CA. We offer top quality loving family pets and show dogs. I have also been recognized as an AKC Breeder of Merit.

Q. & A. with Jean

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Millpond Pugs was started in 1998 with the gift of a great little dog, Tonka, who was a group placing Pug that was the best first Pug ever! He was shortly followed by the purchase of his niece, Swizzle. Swizzle had an amazing show career in which she ended as the #3 female in the US with a Best Of Opposite Sex award at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club. She was the foundation of my breeding program although she only ever had one puppy. That puppy, Martini, took me to a whole other level in Pugs. I am now enjoying showing Martini's grandchildren.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

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

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Millpond Pugs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Pugs.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Tracheal Hypoplasia

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Pug Dog Encephalitis (PDE)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
