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 who do not remain with us will be placed in a loving pet home on a spay/neuter contract.
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.
We strive to produce pugs who are beautiful inside and out. We believe that overall health, sound temperament, and sociability are just as important as outward looks when meeting breed standard.

Adult Pickwick Pugs
Retired Show Pugs & Adult Pickwick Pugs
Occasionally there will be a member of our grumble who grumbles at being a member .... a dog who would honestly be happier in a one or perhaps two dog home, or just doesn’t thrive living with a large grumble ;). On these rare occasions, we find an amazing home for them where they can thrive and be as happy as possible. Sometimes, a puppy we kept for our show and breeding program will not grow out as we had hoped, possibly staying too small or growing too long, to be a successful show pug and a part of our breeding program. (It can sometimes be difficult to predict how a 12 week old puppy will be at 18 to 24 months of age.) Typically these pugs will be 1-2 year of age and trained show and/or performance dogs, often having obtained titles either before or after their names, or both. Some will have completed many points toward their conformation championship and others may even have finished their championship. Typically the price for a retired or rehomed Pickwick show pug is $0.00-500 +/- dependent upon many factors.

Rescue & Foster Pugs & Pug Wannabees
Needing Forever Homes
(not 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. Occasionally, though, we have been "foster failures”. Sometimes we just fall in love with certain fosters so much that it just seems right for them to become a part of our family and join our "grumble". Typically we ask $0.00 to $250 or $500 +/- for fosters, simply to reimburse expenses we made for vet bills, spay/neuter and possible behavior vet consults and training.

Guardian Homes
A Guardian Home, or a dog host home, is a great opportunity to own a "pick of the litter" pug puppy that is being considered for breeding by the breeder. These pugs are usually the best of the best and a chance to own an amazing show quality pug at a great price (free, with exception of a deposit to ensure the commitment of the Guardian Home, which is reimbursed over the time of the pug's breeding career at the discretion of the breeder if all criteria in the contract have been observed.)
A guardian home is a great opportunity for the right person/family to enjoy a top-quality breeding dog/puppy with a great temperament, introduction to training and healthy lineage. These dogs are usually a Breeder’s first choice, or “pick of the litter”. By placing them in a loving forever home , this allows them to build a one-on-one relationship with their owners and have the individualized attention that a pet home offers making them a happier dog.
While the program is quite detailed, it is pretty simple and can be a very beneficial situation for both parties. Simply put, the puppy/dog stays with the Guardian Home except for periodic times during its show/breeding years (from 12 weeks or so up to 5-6 years of age), with breeder retaining breeding rights for a certain number of litters (no more than 3) and opportunities to show on weekends (no more than once a month and no longer than 2 years of age) after which time the pug becomes a permanent family member for the rest of its entire life. When the pug is no longer needed for the breeding progyou as your family member for the rest of their entire life and we retain breeding rights for a certain number of litters. Once the pet has produced that defined number of litters, or the Breeder determines that they are no longer needed for the breeding program, the terms of the Agreement will be considered met and the pet will be neutered or spayed and remain with the Guardian Home 100% of the time for the remainder of his/her life.
