Meet the breeder

I'm Lara M., the breeder behind Piggy Pugs located in Olin, NC. We’re so excited to be able to help families experience the longtime loyalty of welcoming a new puppy into their lives! We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.

Q. & A. with Lara

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Lara

Lara has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Lara partners with them to find the best puppy match.

Price

Puppy prices include a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and between $1,200 - $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Our puppies come with age appropriate shots, multiple wormings, and a health guarantee. Our puppies are looking for pet homes, all prices listed are pet home price. We do occasionally offer full rights to approved homes for an additional cost. The deposit is applied to the purchase price of your puppy. They are non-refundable, but depending on the circumstances may be transferred to another puppy. If a buyer changes their mind or doesn't pickup their puppy we will not refund. As of Dec 20th 2025, deposits may increase to 50% of puppy cost.”

Contract & health guarantee

Lara 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. If Lara offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Lara directly.

    Laura was amazing. She responded to my request properly. After speaking with her and figuring out that the pug would be a great fit for us. She was able to drive her to my home. Bright has been an amazing addition to our family. She is my little buddy and I couldn’t be happier. She’s such a sweetheart I would highly recommend with Lara and Piggy Pugs

    Lara was wonderful to work with! We are over the moon with our new addition to the family. We can tell our puppy was well-loved & very well cared for!! Meeting Lara & being able to talk with her about our puppy & to see in-person the love & care she has for her dogs meant a lot to me. She was easy to get a hold of for any questions we had. Our puppy is spunky & adorable & we couldn’t be happier.

    Lara was great, I couldn’t reccomend her more! She was extremely responsive throughout the whole process, kept me updated with pictures, and very flexible in helping me find a time to come pick up my pug, Cooper! Cooper was in great health and is a perfect dog. I searched through lots of pug breeders when looking for Cooper and I would 100% recommend Piggy Pugs!
