Applying for your Pickwick Pug
If you are interested in owning a Pickwick pug the starting place is to complete the inquiry form below to be added to our Interest List.
The puppies we breed are like our children. Their well-being is paramount to us and we want to find each puppy the perfect match and perfect home. This results in our scrupulous selection process which begins with this initial, in-depth inquiry form (on this webpage, below) after which point prospective owners are added to our Interest List.
Please note: the Interest List is not the same as the official "Wait List".
If, based upon the following inquiry form submission, (please complete it as thoroughly as possible), it seems like you might be a great fit for a Pickwick pug, we will contact you to setup a chance to meet (either virtually on Facetime, Zoom, or in person if distance is not a factor). 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 within the next few months, Spring 2023. FYI:
The last time we opened the wait list, the 5 spots filled in about 15 minutes.
Once applications are available again, 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 is available.
Some people are serious about getting a Pickwick pug puppy and are willing to wait 12-18 months and possibly even longer. The estimated wait time currently is 6-12 months for those on our wait list.
Wait times vary depending upon mother nature and other preferences you may have (i.e. sex preference male or female, temperament requirements if looking specifically for a therapy or performance pug etc.) Wait times can be long and patience may be required. You may not want to wait and that is ok. It is easy to find just any "pug puppy" quickly as there are many available at any given time from backyard breeders or puppy mills, but we encourage you to support only reputable breeders. Consider contacting numerous members of the
Pug Dog Club of America
or visit the
rescue groups
listed on the PDCA website.
If you are interested in finding a pug from a reputable breeder, who 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.
We invite you to visit our webpages regularly and keep in touch. We update the webpages regularly with any new developments including our upcoming
Planned Litters
. We receive many inquiries regularly and unfortunately, on occasion, the email notifications go to Spam. We don't want you to get lost in the shuffle so, if we do not respond to this inquiry form submission in a timely manner (within a week or two), please do not hesitate to contact us.

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, 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.
