Meet the breeder
I'm Sonja W., the breeder behind St. Croix Pugs located in Baring Plt, ME. I’ve loved pugs for many years and currently have five of my own. Both the mother and father of this litter are part of our family and live in our home. My puppies are raised in a hands-on environment with a focus on health, temperament, and placing them in loving, committed homes.
Q. & A. with Sonja
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always loved the idea of breeding my own dogs and experiencing the process firsthand. After many years of owning and caring for pugs, I decided to have an occasional litter with our own dogs. It has been a truly rewarding experience raising puppies in our home and watching them grow.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are loved beyond measure and raised in our home as part of our daily life. They are played with and socialized constantly to build confidence and strong temperaments. It brings me so much joy to share the love of this breed with other families; once you love a pug, you’re hooked for life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Daisy Mae
Daisy Mae is our calm, gentle girl with the sweetest heart. She loves to snuggle and would happily stay curled up right beside you all day. She’s our little Velcro dog, always wanting to be close and part of whatever we’re doing. Being a mama has come so naturally to her. She’s attentive, patient, and so loving with her puppies. We couldn’t be prouder of her. 💕
Hanky, dad

About Hanky
Hanky, our “Hanky Boy,” is the proud dad of our puppies and truly the sweetest soul. He has the most gentle, loving temperament and is incredibly affectionate. He adores people, thrives on attention, and has a calm, steady personality that makes him so special. He’s playful when it’s time to play, relaxed when it’s time to cuddle, and an all-around perfect gentleman. We couldn’t ask for a better daddy for our pups. 💙
