If you are interested in being considered for a puppy from a future litter please complete the online inquiry form. We review the inquiries regularly and if we think you would be a great match for a Pickwick puppy we will follow up with a virtual (or in person) interview and get to know you better! We do respond to all inquiries, however, regardless so if you don't hear from us after a week or so please don't hesitate to contact us again in case the form submission didn't go through.

Pickwick Puppies
Pug Puppies
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.
The puppies we breed are like our children. Their well-being is paramount to us and we want to find each pup the perfect match and perfect home resulting in our scrupulous selection process with an initial, in depth inquiry form, subsequent dialogue, and sometimes even home visits so we can find the perfect match for each pup and pug lover. Offspring of all Hill Country lines (those puppies out of Robert etc.) are available with limited AKC registration only. For other lines, the puppies who do not remain with us, with the sire's breeder, or with a trusted show-home (where the puppy will first and foremost be a family member for life) will be placed in a loving pet home, with limited AKC registration, on a spay/neuter contract.
We strive to produce pugs who are beautiful inside and out. We believe that overall health, sound temperament, and sociability are equally important when meeting Pug Breed Standard, balanced in temperament and sociability as well as structure. One reason we include training for CGC (Canine Good Citizenship), and other work outside of conformation is that we want to make sure any pug we include in our breeding program is balanced in temperament, not just physical conformation, structure, and outward appearance. If one of our pugs would not be able to easily obtain a therapy dog or CGC title, we would not include this pug in our breeding program.

Adult Pickwick Pugs
Retired Show Pugs & Adult Pickwick Pugs
There may be a time when a member of our grumble might grumble at being a member ..... a pug who would honestly be happier in a one or perhaps 2 dog home. If this rare occasion were to arise, we ould look for an amazing home where they would be able to thrive. On other occasions, we choose a "pick of the litter" to join our grumble and, hopefully, become part of the breeding program if all health tests are acceptable once they are 2 years of age. Alas, we might find that the puppy did not 'grow out' as we had hoped -- possibly staying too small, or growing too long, to be a successful show pug, or possibly not receiving a high enough score on the OFA testing. (It can sometimes be difficult to predict how a 12-week old puppy will be at 18-24 months of age). In these situations, we might have a pug available who is approximately 1-2 years of age, trained for show and/or other performance sports like tricks and rally obedience and, most likely, having achieved many titles before and sometimes after their names. Some will have completed many points toward their championship and others may have even finished their AKC championship. Most importantly, the pug will be socialized, trained and awesome house pets as well since they have been living with us in our home.

Rescue & Foster Pugs & Pug Wannabees
Needing Forever Homes
(not bred by Pickwick Pugs)

Occasionally we rescue and/or foster a pug (and sometimes other breeds and All-American dogs who wish they were pugs!) who need rescuing. Through our work with our group www.FureverHomeRescue.weebly.com, we help other rescue groups with training, fostering, socializing, and general care until we are able to find the perfect match for their forever home and adoption.
We have made a lot of wonderful matches over the years, and have even been fortunate to have some families who have kept in touch with us.
