Meet the breeder
I'm Connie D., the breeder behind Mountain Aire Pugs located in Enterprise, OR. I only breed a couple litters a year, focusing on choosing the best combination of parents to produce better and better puppies, as far as conformation, temperament, and health are concerned. My dogs are not bred until they attain at least the title of Champion, which can involve a year or more of showing. My dogs are treated like members of my family and are with me doing things every day. They either stay with me all their lives or are retired and placed in very responsible homes to be spoiled the rest of their lives. Pugs are people dogs and need to be with humans to be happy. That's what I look for in buyers, that they are included in the family life.
Q. & A. with Connie
Why did you start breeding?
Raising five children on a ranch in beautiful Wallowa county Oregon, our youngest daughter wanted a pet, we decided on a dog, which ended up being an adorable Pug puppy. Like most Pug owners, our lives have subsequently been filled with a pack of the amusing little clowns, and I embarked on my 23 year adventure of starting a select breeding program of AKC certified Eukanuba champion line Pugs!What makes your program special?
I am a member of the Pug Dog Club of America and have an extremely high standard of care and responsible pet ownership. Puppies are guaranteed for health and suitability and are only placed in loving, knowledgeable homes.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 and a kennel on my property.

Getting a puppy from Connie
Connie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Price
Puppy prices include a $330 refundable deposit and between $2,970 - $4,170 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“All companion pups are the same price. Puppies must be spayed or neutered before the age of one. No pups can be used for breeding or showing in conformation events. Anyone wanting a show dog must contact me for details, as that is an entirely different process. To be in line for a puppy, a buyer gives a deposit of $330. Seller will hold the deposit for up to two years. If buyer hasn't received a puppy, the deposit will be refunded. If the buyer does find a puppy before that time, they can request a release of the deposit. I won't keep a deposit if a puppy is not provided. I request that they wait at least 6 months before searching elsewhere or receiving a refund. Payments can be made through Good Dog or directly to me after receiving the current contract.”
Contract & health guarantee
Connie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.
