Applying for your Pickwick Pug
If you are interested in owning a Pickwick pug, the starting place is to complete the inquiry form below to be added to our Interest List.
The puppies we breed are like our children. Their well-being is paramount to us and we want to find each puppy the perfect match and perfect home so we look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you better. Please d
on't hesitate to
keep in touch
and checkout the latest developments with our upcoming
Planned Litters
.
Please complete the following questions as thoroughly as possible. If it seems like you will be a great fit for a Pickwick pug, we will schedule a time to meet virtually (Facetime or Zoom) or in person if distance is not a factor.
If you have any additional questions not found on this website just email us and we will get back with you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Jeff and Amy McLelland, Alabama, USA
Thank you so much for completing this application.
We want to find the perfect match for each puppy (and human!) and that requires getting to know prospective owners through this inquiry form. We will contact you and respond to this inquiry form and, if it seems we will have a good fit for you we will schedule a time to meet virtually.
Please note: the inquiry form list is not the same as our wait list. Here are the next steps to adopting a Pickwick pug puppy or pug: If, after subsequent dialogue, reference checks, etc., it seems evident a Pickwick pug puppy is right for you, we will then invite you to be added to our wait list when openings become available. We require that prospective owners read
The Pug Bible
prior to puppy placements. Our Wait List requires a $750 deposit and completed deposit contract. The $750 is applied toward the total purchase price of the puppy or pug when one becomes available. Most Pickwick Pug owners are serious about only getting a Pickwick pug and are willing to wait 12-18 months and possibly longer. The estimated wait time currently is 2-12 months for those on our wait list.

All breeding expenses are paid for by breeder. All show and living expenses (food, supplement, training, veterinary bills aside from those related to breeding) are paid for by owner.
