Dedicated to the pug breed since 1990, we are a small (2 people) hobby/show kennel located outside of Birmingham, Alabama USA. We love, train, rescue, and show pugs. Our pugs live with us in our home as cherished family members.
As members of The Pug Dog Club of America, Greater Atlanta Pug Club, Birmingham Obedience Training Club, Good Breeder Good Dog programs, and other organizations, Pickwick Pugs is committed to improving the health and well-being of purebred pugs and we strive to produce pugs who are beautiful inside and out. Beauty + brains is our motto! We believe that overall health, sound temperament, and sociability are just as important as outward looks when meeting breed standard.
We do not breed often but, when we do, we carefully evaluate and select only the finest, health-tested, AKC registered pugs with champion pedigrees from both America and Europe, that will contribute to the future of our breeding program and the future of this marvelous breed. When you look through the pedigrees of our breeding stock you will find a sea of AKC champions and grand champions, and the names of many important pug breeders such as Hill Country, Mianda, and Tangetoppen.
We strive to produce amazing pugs who are not only beautiful on the outside but also inside. Since our pugs live with us in our home, we can truly examine their temperament. Since our pugs' participate in performance sports such as rally obedience, canine freestyle, tricks, and scent work, we are also able to observe each dog's learning curve and intelligence quotient. Pickwick pugs are intelligent as well as jolly and loving.
Pickwick puppies are raised using Puppy Culture protocols and positive training techniques. They are trained and socialized. They are microchipped, AKC registered, vaccinated (all but final set), vet checked on numerous occasions, socialized, and trained. Pickwick puppies go to their new homes at 12 weeks of age after graduating from the Star Puppy Academy where they work on important skills such as watch me/attention, leave it, drop it, sit, down, stay, wait, come, touch, and fun tricks like spin, bow, crawl, shake, hi-5, get on, get in, play the piano, and even paint. In fact, inside the puppy basket that accompanies each puppy to his or her new home is a paw-painted original masterpiece, painted entirely by the puppy!
Welcome to the virtual home of Pickwick Pugs. We invite you to browse our pages, and share in our passion for pugs!
