Q. & A. with Rick
What makes your program special?
My 30 years of experience has given me immense knowledge on what goes into breeding quality, healthy Pugs. All of our puppies are raised indoors and not in cages. We want to make sure they go to a loving family, so we would love to get to know you better to see if one of our Pugs is a good match for you.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
