Pedigree: We are preservation breeders. We only breed to preserve this amazing ancient breed which dates back to the time of Confucius.
We only include pugs who are exemplary examples of the Pug Breed and meet the current Breed Standard. When you look through each puppy's pedigree you will find a sea of AKC champions. (The prefix "CH" stands for Champion, "GCH" for Grand Champion). You will also recognize some of the most important names of pugs and breeders such as Hill Country, Tangetoppen, and Mianda and breeders of the pugs you see at Westminster, Crufts, and other major dog shows around the world. |

We go out of our way to find the perfect stud, usually requiring great expense and travel. For example, GCH Mianda's Prince Charming at Vanity, in St. Louis, AKC Stud Dog of the Year in 2019, was the perfect sire for our "Thrill Litter" girls Lilly, Miss Dior, and Princess Buttercup. GCH Hill Country's Big Bang Theory (Bazinga) from Texas was the incredible sire of our Lemaitre Litter as well as our Robert (CH Hill Country's I'll Bee Your Shining Star).
The famous Tangetoppen line is represented with the sire of our pug we brought back from Scotland, "Annie" (Zobear's American Idol) #1 Winner of Limited Dog class at Crufts, International Champion UK and Dutch Champion, IR Champion, and Res Best male European Dog, "Tangetoppen's Take a Hint" (Tino)
