Meet the breeder
I'm Jana L., the breeder behind Trailblazer located in Baltimore, MD. My goal is to produce Pugs that are healthy, friendly, well-socialized pets. I want to place them in the best home possible. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. Having a Pug in your life makes life so much better! Anyone with a Pug would agree!
Q. & A. with Jana
Why did you start breeding?
My first litter was in 2006. I spent years learning all I could about my breed, genetics, and puppy socialization techniques. By that time, my dog had had all of her health testing completed and earned a few titles. She had an amazing temperament.What makes your program special?
With my Pugs, I want to focus on dogs who are healthy and sound in a way that many pugs are not. I seek out dogs that are well built, with a longer muzzle so they can breathe freely. So far, my dogs have been AKC and ACA registered, but I am not opposed to outcrossing with another breed. I use Puppy Culture to give my little ones the best start in life.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Trailblazer reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Pugs.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Pug Dog Encephalitis (PDE), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
