Sapphire Bay Pugs
Meet the breeder
I'm Laura B., the breeder behind Sapphire Bay Pugs located in Pittsburgh, PA. We have been breeding Pugs for over 18 years. We are proud members of The Pug Dog Club of America, Inc.
Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
Our first family dog, a pug named Bayli, with her sweet comical nature and unconditional love, is the reason we have stayed with this breed. Learning of the health and AKC standards for Pugs, and with the help of my 2 good show friends Debbie and Helen, I entered the show ring 7 years ago with my first girl Misha.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
