Q. & A. with Yolanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Began learning reproductive science as a child with my AKC Pekingese pet. As an adult, I bred AKC West Highland Terriers from 1976-1980s as avocation, when I retired 1990 to 2015 I bred Champion Pedigrees Pekingese. I got AKC Pug pets in 2018 and they became my breed of choice. In 2019 I decided to start Pug Place Phoenix and began breeding my pet AKC Pugs continuing that endeavor until today.
