    We had such a great experience working with Jennifer! She was so kind and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and made everything really smooth for us. You can tell she truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. We’re so grateful for her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy and happy pug! We love our sweet boy!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jennifer from Pugs & Love and the incredible experience I had getting my pug from her. From the moment I reached out, it was clear this breeder is deeply passionate about pugs and truly dedicated to raising healthy, happy puppies in a loving environment. Initially I lost out on the puppy we wanted, and I asked Jennifer to let me know if anything changed. I was delighted when she called to let me know the other family changed their mind. I jumped at the chance to get our Duckie! The communication was prompt, transparent, and warm. She answered every question I had, and I was provided with updates, photos, and videos of my pup as he grew. When we arrived to pick him up, I was delighted to see the happy and healthy adult pugs she has and of course, the sweet puppies. If you’re looking for a pug breeder who treats every pup like family, prioritizes health and temperament, and makes the entire process a joyful journey, look no further. I couldn’t be happier — and neither could my adorable pug!

    Jennifer was fantastic. She kept me informed of everything that was going on with Oscar. She let me know how the Medical test went. She told me how he was doing with eating and his training to use papers. Jennifer was also very helpful with me receiving Oscar. She went out of her way to make sure that everything went right and that I got him happy and healthy. I also received a nice take-home bag with goodies for Oscar and helpful information for raising him. I can’t say enough about how special Jennifer is and how she made the experience a pleasant one and I am truly thankful.
