If you are interested in owning a Pickwick pug the starting place is to complete this application form (below). If you will be a good fit for a Pickwick pug we will add you to a list of hopeful prospective owners and contact you to schedule a preliminary virtual zoom or FaceTime chat. Because we do not breed often, waiting for a Pickwick pug can be a lengthy process, sometimes taking up to a year or more. 

    With the Puppy Culture protocol we follow, we teach each puppy how to learn so that they will have the greatest success in their new homes. It's impossible to teach a 12 week old puppy everything he/she will need to know and encounter in every situation they might discover throughout their life, but we set them up so there will be greatest success possible. We socialize. A lot. Having attended seminars with Ian Dunbar and virtual seminars with Victoria Stillwell and other amazing trainers, vets, and behaviorists, we know how critical it is for puppies to meet as many different people as possible, and be exposed to all sorts of things, environments, sights, scents, and sounds during its first 16 weeks of life. Since our pups stay with us until they are 12 weeks old (safely out of the fear period before heading to their forever homes) it is imperative that breeders thoroughly socialize puppies. Through controlled puppy parties, outings to stores, restaurants, churches, and work, we safely and gently expose each puppy to as many different environments as possible and allow them to interact with -- to meet, be hugged, handled, and trained by at least 50 people of ALL types, sizes, ages, sexes, with beards, with hats, with canes, with umbrellas, and even children of all ages. This process of socialization actually begins with important neonatal handling which desensitizes 9 of the 12 most common subliminal bite triggers. This extensive training is included in the price of the puppy because we believe strongly that what is accomplished, and how it is accomplished, during the first critical 12 weeks of the puppy's life is paramount to its success, happiness, and health throughout its lifetime ... both physically and emotionally. If a breeder waits to let new puppy owners do all the training, or until "Puppy Class", it's too late and the puppy has missed a window of opportunity that he or she will never be able to have again. Our goal is beautiful inside and out so training and socialization while the puppies are still with us, and then continued with their forever homes, is a vital piece of the puzzle when raising a balanced, healthy pug who is gorgeous not just in looks, but also in mind and spirit.  Thank you for completing this rather lengthy inquiry form. We look forward to getting to know you even better!
