Purple Boy - Kennel name Manny, "Pickwick's All Eyes On Me"; new registered name: Stuart, "Hill Country's Dare to Dream"
One of 2 boys in our Lemaitre litter, "purple boy" was the sire's (Kristy and Kevin Ratliff at Hill Country pugs) breeder's pick of the litter. He was the "puppy back" for using his sire (CH Hill Country's Big Bang Theory - Bazinga) as a stud. Kristy renamed him Stewart and he now lives in Texas, hopefully a happy and wonderful life. He has exceptional bone, gorgeous face, head, sweet and outgoing personality … a perfect blend of his mother, our foundation bitch, KK, (CH Peachtree's Kirkcudbright Kayleigh, TKN, CGC, RI) and his father, Bazinga.
Happy and thriving ... hopefully ... in Texas!
While the breeders at Hill Country Pugs have not kept us updated on Manny/Stuart, we did hear from a former friend and associate Fall, 2023, who stated that he was doing well and that, even though they had not shown him in any shows, that she thought they had used him in their breeding program. Perhaps one day we will know if KK's legacy has continued on but, in the meantime, all we can do is hope and pray that he is happy and thriving and enjoying his brief years on this earth.
8 weeks and 3 days old, here he is happy in his new home in Texas:
