Snuggle Pugs
Meet the breeder
I'm Joan Y., the breeder behind Snuggle Pugs located in Whitehall, MI. We offer sweet, friendly, mentally and physically sound pugs.
Q. & A. with Joan
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first Pug in 1990 after five years of begging by our daughter, Brenda. This Pug turned out to be not only our first Pug, but our first conformation champion and first obedience title holder. He was Ch. Toby Tuff Stuff CDX, who can be found in our female line today. We so enjoyed showing Toby that we have been doing shows ever since.What makes your program special?
My husband Gary and I work hard to provide the best family pets we can. We truly have an affinity for pugs and absolutely love the breed. We know pugs from ears to tail, and you can rest assured knowing your family pet will be healthy and well adjusted.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
