One of the most difficult things to do as a responsible breeder is to place a pug who you have bonded with. Mr Drysdale received his AKC Championship and proved to be the most amazing pug with regard to health and temperament. He has the most incredible personality and giant big head and tons of bone (stockiness of legs etc.). We decided not to include him in our breeding program however because he could stand to be a little shorter backed. It was such a tough decision and, yet, we really can't afford to keep too many pugs because then we don't have enough time to give them the quality life and TONS of attention and laptime they deserve. Today, we said goodbye to Mr. Drysdale after 2 amazing years of living with him. He is now living in Nashville with an incredible family and longtime pug owners. He will have one on one time watching TV, sitting in laps, going on walks, and just "being" with his people. They hope to have a Pickwick puppy one day in the near future so he will have a companion one day (one companion!) Here is our amazing Milburn, aka Mr. Drysdale, aka Champion Pickwick's Mr. High Falutin' before leaving today, after his bath and painting, and one last fun training/play session. God speed little one! We meetup with his new owners so they could meet him -- and he could meet them -- in Huntsville last month. We knew it was love at first site and he just adores them. Here is his new family! He was out of the Southern Belle Litter and his sister lives in California and his brother Jethro lives in Iowa. They are all so lucky and blessed! I will miss kissing that big lovable giant head and watching him hold things in his mouth, and his little chirp. He will leave a giant hole in our hearts. A few of our adventures together over the past 2 years . . . .
