Robert is an excellent breeder, he always answers my messages and every week he sends me photos of my little pug that I named Coco. Today he is two months old. He is a very mischievous and playful dog. If I had to get another dog, I think I would choose Coco, Robert. I have no complaints about his pack.

It was a great experience working with Robert. He kept in contact with me & sent me weekly photos of the puppy I adopted from him until she was ready to come home. I would highly recommend him if you want a precious pug.

Prentice Family Pugs provided us with a clear, easy experience bringing our little one home. They answered all questions and provided us with photos and updates. We now have the most well behaved, hilarious, healthy and adorable little girl and we couldn’t be happier!

Working with Prentice Family Pugs was very quick and easy. We were provided with weekly photos and updates, and could ask any questions we had. I also loved being able to support a veteran-owned breeder. We brought home our girl, Goldie, a few days ago to celebrate me being in remission after 3 years of chemo and she’s fitting right in!
