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.
