Marie Claire was one of our picks from the LeMaitre Litter. She was so beautiful inside and out and incredibly smart, she was one of our Rally rock stars. So incredibly healthy, she also loved to do tricks and we were working on multiple levels of the Canine Good Citizenship titles as well as therapy dog. We never got around to completing these titles because of her sudden, tragic, and much too early death.
Marie Claire the Pug Pirate (AKC novice tricks routine)
Marie Claire was an amazing performance pug and here are some of her wins and ribbons she is collected:
She is a half sister to Biggie pug who won more Best in Shows than any pug in history.
Here she is as a young pug loving her trip to Tip Top Grill 1-23-20! It was COLD outside so she loved "wearing" her mama's jacket.
Haggis for breakfast? Marie Claire is not completely sure about this idea!
Marie Claire enjoyed her Jan 9, 2020 outing to Home Depot!

Best of Breed, CH Pickwick's Peachtree Hill Country Mighty Macintosh, TKN - our first bred-by-champion.
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!!"

How to speak Puglish with a heavy accent: It’s a language where no means sing me a song, and come here means gravity has doubled and I must now become a flat, vocal pancake. ;)
