I'm Michael B., the breeder behind Rock Springs Pugs located in Blountsville, AL. I am an honest and reputable breeder. My reviews reflect that. I do not ship my puppies. Meeting in person on whatever adoption/pickup date we agree to is also required because there is paperwork that must be signed by the specific person adopting from me. There are no exceptions. I also ONLY accept payments through Gooddog's payment service. There are people who keep contacting me to try to get me to break my policies and/or go against Gooddog's terms of service. I will not. I only breed beautiful, healthy, agile, intelligent pugs and it shows. My pups are raised and socialized in our home. If you want a healthy, beautiful pug from a very helpful, knowledgeable, reputable breeder that is there for you the entire puppy's life, you have found me. My pugren are kept up to date on vaccinations, worming and they are groomed regularly using professional grooming equipment. My pugs are spoiled beyond belief, pampered, fed high quality food and given a quality prenatal supplement during their pregnancy. My pregnant mothers are very comfortable, relaxed and accustomed to my in home whelping room and a lot of time and effort is put into socializing them. Most of my adoptees and I converse with one another, share photos and pug stories quite regularly because we are like a big family. Did I mention that when you adopt a pug from me you get far more than just a beautiful, healthy pup because it doesn't end there. I don't just disappear on you. I stay readily available to advise and assist if needed. I am here for my adoptees and their pups the entirety of the pup's life. What are you waiting for? Go apply and tell me about yourself and what you are looking for in a pug! I'm looking forward to helping you find the right pug for you!

Michael has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Michael partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“You MUST be 19 or older to adopt a pug from me. Anyone under 19 MUST have a parent or court appointed guardian represent them and be involved in all communications with me throughout the entire process. That adult must show up in person at pickup and be willing to sign all paperwork at pickup. I will not register a puppy to anyone under the age of 19;however, once the puppy goes home and the adult I do business with may at their own discretion register the puppy into anyone's name they like, but I personally want ALL business, legal and communications matters to be directly supervised between myself and the adult of 19 or older in charge and responsible for said puppy.”

“NOTICE: I only adopt to people who can pick up their puppy in person face to face. There are no exceptions to this as far as I am concerned. I also ONLY accept any and all payments through Gooddog's payment system. All puppies will come with a complete health check form signed by my vet, microchip, shot and worming record to prove their vaccinations and worming with my vet's name and contact information. Also included is a very nice puppy starter kit with toys (rubbed all over the mother), collar, bowls, glove brush, poopy bag dispenser, puppy pads, puppy wipes and other very fun, cool items my wife randomly includes. (Items may vary according to availability but will always be surprisingly nice and helpful). The deposit: This is to help prevent dishonest people from being able to get me to promise to hold a puppy to adoption age with no intention of following through with adoption. It's not good for the puppies and not fair or honest to hardworking, reputable breeders and families that would love to adopt and provide good, safe, loving homes for their puppy.”
Michael may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Michael offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Michael directly.
When you pay and communicate on Good Dog, you’re covered by Payment Protection.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Michael.

About Precious (Retiring)
Precious is AKC, she is DNA tested and clear (N/N) for PDE, PK & DM. Precious is a very calm, intelligent, well mannered and obedient girl. She rides perfectly and is super sweet to children and doesn't meet a stranger. She is a wonderful companion with a calm, laid back personality and loves to just lay on the couch and watch TV. Precious is a fantastic mother. She constantly keeps a check on her puppies and is very much in tune with her puppies and even me. I have raised Precious and her sister Mary Puppins from little pups and they are very much pampered and loved by our family. To date all puppies she has ever had are healthy, strong and intelligent just like Precious with no health issues or complications what-so-ever.

About Stella AKC
Stella is an Apricot fawn female.She is AKC and she is DNA tested for PDE, PK and DM. Her results are that she is clear of all three (N/N). Stella's DNA results are posted here on gooddog for public viewing. Stella is the daughter of my beautiful girl Pumpkin Mary Puppins. Stella is a VERY loyal, loving, very laid back and obedient purebred pug. Stella is a fabulous mother! The is no pug that could be a better mother. Stella is silly. She loves to bulldog around. While Stella gets along with other pets, she is a very loyal girl who loves me very much. I take my pugs out in public quite often and she is one of my best behaved girls. Stella stays focussed on me but she is a little wary of other animals being around me that she does not know. ONce she sees they pose no threat to her Daddy she lets her guard down and will play and get along just fine. She just loves me very much. All my babies love me very much so they ALL have very sweet personalities because they know they are provided for, cared for and loved by me. I treat them very gentle & loving but they do know that there are rules (No-Nos and such) lol.

About Ranger
Ranger is a very well built, handsome fella! He is DNA tested for PDE, PK, DM and is clear (N/N) of all three. His DNA results are posted here on Gooddog for public viewing. Ranger is a very well built, strong, agile gorgeous boy. He is my friend and loves me very much. Although he is strong and agile he is a real sweetheart with a personality that is just pure sweet loves. He gives the best hugs and loves to be held, carried around like a baby and talked to. He will sit and listen to me talk all day. I expect Ranger to have a fantastic long healthy life because he is not a short, obese, unhealthy snorting pug with breathing issues. He has NONE of that and his offspring have represented the same characteristics as him. I am very proud of Ranger. He was brought up with the best nutrition, care, love, attention, companionship and exercise. He gets playtime outside all day any time is it nice out and he has the ability to come in and out as he pleases in a fenced in play yard specifically set up for my pugs.

About Pearl
Pearl is my sweet goofy, loving, girl. This was a photo I took on (delivery day). She was a little unsure her first litter but she trust me and she did fantastic. Pearl is a wonderful mother too. This girl and her Mommy (Piper Of Rock Springs) are the two most goofy girls I have besides Lizzie oh what am I saying? All my babies are goofy and happy but Pearl and Piper are a hoot. Pearl is a beautiful black with a solid fold across her face, plenty of wrinkles and healthy loose skin for a pug. Stout, healthy, strong, confident but loving. You are surely going to be pleased with any of Pearl's puppies. Their Daddy Ranger is an dual registered AKC/CKC stud and Pearl is registered CKC and is from an AKC/CKC stud as well so you really get some fantastic genetics and good bloodlines that over the years have proven to be very healthy, strong and intelligent, calm, loving pugs.

About Sugar
Sugar is a very special girl. She is my son's pet. He has trained her to do many tricks and she lives to make people happy. She is a PERFECT mother and very nurturing to our family as we are to her. Sugar is very obedient and pauses to check us quite often to know what we expect from her. She will pause at doorways and gates to get our approval before entering. She is the sister of FeFe and daughter of my older retired girl "Bubbles". As you can see in her photos she loves her entire family with a HUGE heart! All of Sugar's previous puppies are alive and well enjoying their healthy lives with their families and no health issues have been reported from a single family that has ever adopted from her. We do however receive tons and tons of reports back of how happy and healthy her pups have been and how happy the families are with Sugar and Stuart's pups! We are truly blessed to have her as part of our family and we know your family will be with her offspring as well. The Sire is dual registered AKC/CKC and Sugar is registered CKC so this litter will also be CKC registered.

Micheal has been great and even after you get your puppy, he will still answer your questions. Our pug is well taken care of and such a sweet baby.

We had an amazing experience working with Michael through Good Dog! We ended up adopting a wonderful 7-month-old pug, and we couldn’t be happier. From the beginning, Michael was extremely communicative, responsive, and patient with all of our questions. He made the entire adoption process easy, smooth, and stress-free. When we picked up our pug, Michael even surprised us with a bag full of goodies, which was such a thoughtful touch. Most importantly, our pug’s health and bloodwork were perfect, and he arrived happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We are extremely happy with our new family member and would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone looking for a pug. Thank you for such a great experience!

Michael was so wonderful to work with. He is someone who truly cares about his animals and keeps them in great shape - you can tell he got into breeding for all the right reasons. He is incredibly knowledgeable, quick to respond, and also just a joy to talk to. He made pickup easy and flexible. And as for our beautiful and sweet puppy, we couldn’t be happier! She is so loving, smart, laid back, and very gentle with our 4 year old. If we ever add another, we hope it’s one of Michael’s!

Michael from Rockspring Pug’s was awesome! From the second we picked our puppy, he updated us and shared pictures and videos! We were coming from out of town to pick up our pug and knew nothing about the area, so I asked for some recommendations where to stay. The Airbnb he recommended was really nice and affordable! He met us there with our baby Pug at the time we arranged! My grandson had no idea we were there getting him his dream dog a black pug for his birthday. Michael even went along with the surprise! He is an expert on Pugs! He gave us all the information we needed about caring for our Pug from shots, insurance, potty training, and even gave us toys and supplies for the ride home! Our grandson and my family are so happy with our baby Pug and thankful for Michael for making it such a great experience!🐾

Michael was so easy and professional to work with. He gave weekly video/picture updates on the puppies and was always responsive to messages and questions. It is obvious that Michael loves and cares for his dogs and always does right by them. We are so happy with our pug puppy. He’s the perfect addition to our family!
