Q. & A. with Jeff and Amy
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased a beautiful pug from an AKC Breeder of Merit specifically for a pet and to keep our other pug company in Rally Obedience. The breeder encouraged us to show and finish her, and then breed her because she was such an amazing Pug and would be such an asset to the breed. We sought out the finest studs and the best breeders in the country and have the finest mentors in the Pug world.What makes your program special?
We train and socialize all our puppies following protocols by Ian Dunbar and Puppy Culture. At 12 weeks they go their new homes knowing sit, down, leave it, wait, come, and loose-leash walking. Members of the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program, we believe strongly in the importance of health testing. Our Pugs hold titles in obedience, tricks, and conformation championships.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.

About Lilibeth
Lilibeth is a gorgeous, clear coated pug with the most delightful and kind temperament. She finished her AKC championship quite easily and her registered show name, "Pickwick's Show the World How to Smile", fit her perfectly as everyone who sees her (as she stares a hole through them with her big, black, glistening eyes) honestly does smile. Lilibeth is fun, jolly, healthy, smart, and has passed all of her health tests.

Pug
About Annie
Annie is the daughter of a Crufts winner (Tino) and has the most beautiful diamond pattern on her forehead. She is jolly, happy, and never met a stranger and is an amazing mover. We traveled all the way to Scotland to get this daughter of a Tangetoppen superstar and would do it again in a heartbeat as she has proven to be the most amazing pug not just in conformation but also spirit. A primary reason we traveled to Europe for her was because of the exceptional pigmentation. In the US this is being lost in the show world, with exhibitors literally "painting on" the black on ears and forehead. For us, this is not an option, so we infused the American lines with this European superstar.

About Marie Claire
Marie Claire is a gorgeous pug and also has titles in AKC rally obedience and Tricks. She has a pretty face and is brilliant as well. Her coat is very soft and clear, just like her half-brother "Biggie" pug, who won more Best in Shows than any pug in history, she also has her father (Bazinga's) sweet disposition and beautiful eyes. The BlueRidge Imaging vet was so impressed with her hips during the xray that he actually complimented us on our efforts for improving this aspect of the breed.
