Thank you judge Dana Cline for awarding Scarlett Winners Bitch at the Magnolia Cluster in Jackson, MS January, 2023. And thank you for your nice compliments on her.
Scarlett after winning Best of Opposite Sex (to a special!) at her first show under esteemed pug breeder judge Charlotte Patterson.
Scarlett (kennel name Noel) is our pick of the litter from the Christmas Star Litter, Spring 2022. She's off to a good start with her show career having won Winners Bitch in Mobile & Decatur, AL, and in Jackson, MS. She also won Best of Opposite Sex and Best of Breed Owner Handled and even a Toy Group 3. She won Best of Breed and the Toy Group in her BPUP shows in Maryland and Vermont. She is a beautiful pug with beautiful leg under her, an amazing breather, and one of the best temperaments we have ever bred.
We chose Scarlett (out of 11 pups from 3 different litters, Spring 2022) because she is smart and beautiful. Since we do a lot of things outside of the conformation ring (tricks, rally obedience and such) we knew she would excel in most anything she chose. Her focus is amazing. We changed her name from Noel to Scarlett because we didn't think about the fact that we kept telling her "no" lolz.

Scarlett (new name) had a blast on a 2 week road trip for her first BPUP! She conquered so many states …. Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, and of course Alabama!
Scarlett made some new friends at the dog show cluster in Mobile and picked up some wins and points! Thank you Charlotte Patterson for recognizing this sweet 6 month puppy with Best Bred By, Winners Bitch, and Best of Opposite. Scarlett also won WB and Best of Opposite on a 2nd day of the cluster as well. Here she is with some of her friends she made . . . .
Wow! Huge congratulations to Miss Scarlett for her wins at the Cotton Cluster dog shows in Decatur, Alabama! She actually beat out specials (pugs who are already champions!) winning Best of Opposite Sex on 2 different days. She won 1st place in her class (Bred By Exhibitor), Winners Bitch, Best of Opposite Sex, plus Best of Breed Owner Handled. THEN, she went on to win a Group 3 (3rd place in the Toy Group)! She is amazing in the ring and performs as if she has done this all her life. One day, however, she did decide to be a little naughty (the judge said "she is a little antsy today") as she decided to hop and be silly. But, she still won ;) She is, after all, a PUPPY still! After her wins the first day, she and Heather and I took a short trip to Monte Sano Mountain State Park to kill some time before the Toy Group (and work off some of that puppy energy!) Here are some photos and a video . . . .
Her most exciting trip to-date was by far the Summer, 2022 trip to Maryland, New York, and Vermont with her first trip to see an ocean (a dog park at a beach outside of Baltimore, MD), her first taste of icecream (in Virginia) and Maple Creamee (Vermont). She was such a trooper showing so beautifully in her BPUPS and now has 9 of her 10 Puppy of Achievement points!
