We waited 4 years since our last Pug passed...and we found Bethani and beautiful Heron. Our experience with Bethani was amazing! She responded quickly, was always available, and we even did a Facetime to see Heron! She was warm, wonderful, loving, and obviously a breeder with excellent ethics. We met her, her wonderful husband, and Heron's parents were on site. We have been enjoying Heron for over a month and he is such a smart puppy...we love him so much. Would recommend Bethani in a second!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Bethani to bring our sweet pug Muffin home! From the very beginning, Bethani was kind, professional, and incredibly communicative. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which made the process even more exciting.
When we came to pick up Muffin, we surprised my sons with her and they were so happy. The whole experience was made even more special thanks to Bethani’s warm, welcoming nature. We were able to meet Muffin’s mom and dad, which gave us so much peace of mind, and Bethani made sure we left with all the necessary information, paperwork, and even a few thoughtful gifts to help Muffin settle in.
Muffin is healthy, happy, and has already brought so much joy to our family. We are so grateful to Bethani and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pug pup raised with love and care!

10/10 HIGHLY recommended! Our experience with Vaubel Country Pugs was awesome. We adopted our sweet little 8 week old pug puppy (Yukon Cornelius) from Bethani back in January. Bethani is FANTASTIC, as are her dogs. You can tell how deeply loved and well-cared for her animals are. She is friendly, polite, kind, genuine, down-to-earth, responsible, responsive, and highly organized. This was our first time purchasing a puppy online and we were definitely nervous. Upon visiting her and the puppies, however, our nerves quickly faded and our minds were at ease. She patiently answered any questions we had and periodically sent updates/photos as the puppies grew. Rest assured she will take very good care of you and the pups!
Yukon is an AMAZING dog! He is now about 4 months old, growing and thriving everyday. He is happy, healthy, playful, loving, adorable, and SO much fun! We love him more than words can properly express. He brings a ton of light, love, and joy to our lives. We are blessed to have him.
We would 100% recommend Bethani and her pups to family, friends, and anyone looking for a high quality Pug. Her pups are OUTSTANDING and well worth the price! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Bethani, her dogs, and the entire puppy-purchasing experience we had with her. It was top-notch and we are impressed!
We are beside ourselves with the excitement of welcoming one of her pugs into our family, and could not be happier. THANK YOU so much for our wonderful little Yukon! We hope to work with you again sometime!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience getting our pug puppy, Bagel, from Bethani!
Bagel has been the sweetest addition to our family—he settled in quickly and has been such a loving, playful companion from the start. Bethany made the entire process smooth and reassuring. From the beginning, she was a fantastic communicator. She arranged a FaceTime call so we could meet the available puppies, and once we chose Bagel, she sent regular updates and adorable photos that made the wait so exciting.
We especially appreciated her thoughtful touches—she started calling him by the name we had chosen so he could begin to recognize it early on. Bethani also went out of her way to meet us for the puppy drop-off, which was incredibly helpful given the distance.
Bagel came to us happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for, and it’s obvious he was raised with a lot of love. Working with Bethani was a truly positive experience, and we would absolutely work with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a pug puppy, we wholeheartedly recommend Bethani!

It was wonderful interacting with Bethani. She was open to FaceTime sessions and sent frequent updates and pictures to keep us informed. She was open to different places to meet to pick up our puppy too. Most importantly, it was very clear that she loves these pugs. I highly recommend working with Bethani. We love our little Louie!

Bethani was fantastic!! Very responsive and accommodating during the whole process of getting our little pup. You can tell she really cares about them and wants the best for us and the pups. Was more than pleased with how things went!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
