Lady Gaga (new name Doris)

Pickwick's I Got a Diamond Heart

Doris lives with 2 other Pickwick pugs (Rocket Girl and Coco from the LeMaitre Litter) and a wonderful mom in Michigan. She moved to Michigan when she was a little bit older and before that she enjoyed a brief stint as a show girl. She won lots of awards and prizes and ribbons but in the end we decided she deserved a great companion home.

Holly (new name Piper)

Pickwick's Breakfast at Tiffany's

Piper (Holly ”l‘ve Got a Diamond Heart” from the Diamond litter 5/2021) lives with a wonderful couple in Florida. She is a certified therapy dog and loves going on visits especially to the library where the kids read to her. She pretty much goes everywhere with us (except the grocery store). She just graduated Advanced training and we are now starting Super Advanced. She LOVES training, she loves going for golf cart rides, she loves when the neighbor kids come to play with her and she loves going shopping.

Westminster or White House bound? Temperament and Conformation Evaluations at 7.5-8 weeks . . At this point, it looks like one pup is bound for Tennessee, another for Auburn, but the evals will determine if one stays at Pickwick Pugs ... stay tuned!

We saw Dr. Borden again on Thursday and he took some more X-rays to measure puppies' heads etc. They are looking good and spines are showing calcification (almost as bright as mama Lilly's ribs!) Lilly is doing great and the doctor checked all vitals. We have a c-section scheduled for Saturday (day 60) but another back-up one on Tuesday (day 63) in case progesterone numbers are not ready on Saturday ..... and, a loooooooong holiday weekend in between. Sigh. "Easy like Sunday Morning" is not an expression you hear in dog whelping.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Bumi was star student at his puppy class today and has been pretty much bomb-proof in the world so far. You definitely set him up for success!"

"You do such a good job training/preparing them. Rosalina is the best trained dog in this house...everyone at work is always blown away how incredible she is ... Socialization, confidence, obedience ... And, well, she’s really pretty." (Vet Tech, mom, loving pug owner)

"The vet was impressed that his nostrils were completely open."

"So many people at the festival were asking where did you get such a beautiful pug from and we said from an amazing breeder in Alabama, Pickwick Pugs"

"He [Louie, out of the Beatrix Potter litter] is by far the most athletic & strongest of any other pugs we’ve had. He’s 18.5 lbs of muscle! I’m sure there are genetics involved, but we also followed your advice with the diet, fish oil, supplements etc. If we had the time, I bet he’d be a champion at agility. We love everything about him!!"
