I'm Willow Dove P., the breeder behind Willow Dove Pugs located in Coram, NY.
Q. & A. with Willow Dove
Why did you start breeding?
With a long history of pugs in my family, and a great joy surrounded the miracle of new life, I know that no matter how hard it can be, I'm meant to be a breeder and, more specifically a pug breeder. The pug breed is notoriously difficult to raise, but with every breath of new life and with each grateful family, it's hard to imagine not raising quality pugs!
What makes your program special?
My program believes in quality, in-home rearing, and genetic diversity. All of my breeding pugs were imported from Europe making them of European champion lines and out of champion or grand champion parent(s).
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Pomeranian puppies include orange, blue merle, and orange sable. Pug puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
