I'm Joanna H., the breeder behind Pugs Rule! located in Greenbrier, TN. Every puppy we raise is adored as part of our family from birth.

Q. & A. with Joanna
Why did you start breeding?
First litter was accidental but what a lovely accident! We have a fawn male and a brindle female. Only 1% of pugs are Brindle so not only rare but also beautiful! Loving, cuddly, and playful.
What makes your program special?
Pugs are raised in home, never caged, spoiled, well socialized. Both Pug parents owned by family. Receive excellent medical care, heartworm preventative, vaccines up-to-date, wormed. Eat high quality special ordered kibble. Litter box and potty pad trained.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Joanna was very responsive and was so great to work with. She was very knowledgeable about her pugs! She was so nice and welcoming when we came to pick up our now baby boy Ozzy! She gave really great directions and kept us up to date on how Ozzy was doing before picking him up. I would recommend Joanna to anyone looking to adopt a pug!
