I'm Susan F., the breeder behind Pug Palace located in Norborne, MO. Pug Palace is located in the heartland very close to the Missouri River.

Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter wanted a pug for her 10th birthday . She was obsessed! I told her I thought pugs were the ugliest dogs I had ever seen! Well she got her pup and the rest is history! Now I too love their squashy faces and fun personalities!What makes your program special?
I am a small kennel and I operate it on my own. Occasionally however I will get help with major projects. I raise only pugs in my operation so I feel as I know the breed very well! They are very special!!!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 a kennel on my property.

We really enjoyed meeting Susan and getting to see the different pugs she has. We got to see both parents of the pug we got and that was neat. Susan had things all in order and it was easy to get our pup. We are thrilled that we found a good breeder who obviously cares about the dogs she is raising.

I'm so thankful I found Susan after searching on Gooddog for a few days. She had great reviews and beautiful pug puppies. Any questions or requests I had were always responded to quickly. When we picked up our little guy, who we named Ozzy, she showed us around and told us about our puppies parents. She was very accommodating and we would definitely go back to Susan for another puppy in the future. Ozzy has been a great addition to our family. His personality is so sweet and funny, plus, he's just a gorgeous dog.
