Meet the breeder

I'm Rick B., the breeder behind Rick Barrera Pugs located in Humble, TX. For over 30 years, we have bred high-quality Pugs for health, temperament, and companionship up to the AKC standard.

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.
