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. I live in the river bottom surrounded by corn and bean fields. The little town where I live is called Norborne and is the self proclaimed "Soybean Capital of the World." I have raised pugs here for the last 22 years. You will pick up your puppy at the Palace when it is ready. You may also book a stay in the Snugly Pug - a very unique B&B where you can get to know your pup before you make journey home.

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.

Susan was great to work with. She was very responsive prior to going to pick up our puppy. She gave clear directions on how to reach her and walked us through her different locations onsite. Everything was clean and kept up very well. The dogs appeared to be well cared for and loved. We had a very positive experience overall and if we decided to get another pug in the future would definitely reach out to Susan.

Susan was excellent and very responsive in helping us get our new baby! She was happy to help with updates of how the puppy was doing before we were able to pick her up. Our pug is happy and healthy and spunky! It’s exactly the addition we needed to our family. We will definitely be coming back in the future for another pug to add to the mix.
