Thank you so much for completing this application.
We want to find the perfect match for each puppy (and human!) and that requires getting to know prospective owners through this inquiry form. We will contact you and respond to this inquiry form and, if it seems we will have a good fit for you we will schedule a time to meet virtually on Facetime or Zoom.
Please note: the inquiry form list is not the same as our wait list. Here are the next steps to adopting a Pickwick pug puppy or pug: If, after subsequent dialogue, reference checks, etc., it seems evident a Pickwick pug puppy is right for you, we will then invite you to be added to our wait list when openings become available. At this time, our wait list is full, but we hope to be inviting 5 more individuals the month of May, 2023. Our Wait List requires a $750 deposit and completed deposit contract. The $750 is applied toward the total purchase price of the puppy or pug when one becomes available. Most Pickwick owners are serious about only getting a Pickwick pug and are willing to wait 12-18 months and possibly longer. The estimated wait time currently is 6-12 months for those on our wait list.
If you are interested in finding a pug from a reputable breeder, who registers all puppies with AKC, microchips, vaccinates, champions pugs through AKC, breeds only the finest example of the pug breed true to standard with impeccable pedigrees, completes all health screening, registers all puppies with AKC, and trains/socializes extensively using Puppy Culture protocols .... and not just looking to find "a pug puppy" .... then we encourage you to complete the following inquiry form so we can get to know you even better!
Please note that any and all offspring of our Hill Country line pugs (Grand Champion Hill Country's I'll Bee Your Shining Star; Pickwick's Watching the Stars Align) are available with limited AKC registration. 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 is first and foremost a family member for life, will be placed in a loving pet home with limited AKC registration on a spay/neuter contract.
, subsequent email and phone conversations, and Zoom/FaceTime meetings etc. We don't breed often, so sometimes there might be a wait, but hopefully we will be able to find a pug who is the perfect match for you! We also can let you know if we hear of other reputable breeders who might have an available pug or puppy.
