Cindy and Lola received their 3rd round of puppy vaccinations at the vet earlier this week, so in a few days (they say 2 weeks --- perhaps 10 days ? after final shots) they will be able to explore in more public places (on the ground, too). Here is Cindy with Dr. Williams. Our vet is so amazing with animals. Cindy was listening to everything the doc said.

Last night, Cindy, Lola, and Umberto tagged along with Amy and a nice woman from Georgia who might be interested in owning a future puppy. Rojo is a neighborhood restaurant that is dog friendly (sitting on the patio at least). We had a nice walk there ("walk" in quotes for the young girls since they shouldn't be walking on the ground in public places just yet ... Parvo and all. When we do outings with puppies before they are fully vaccinated, we stay inside the stroller, or sit in laps and such.) It was a delightful day with highs in 80s for a change (instead of almost 100 degrees. Sigh. Alabama). Fall can't get here soon enough!

8 week old puppy socialization

7/12/2024

0 Comments

 
The 2 pups from the Baskin Robbins litter and the 3 pups from the Dr Seuss litter had an awesome socialization daytrip to Florida. They experienced all sorts of new scents, sounds, sights -- the ocean, wind -- and met lots of people. They also had their first long car ride and were troopers. Puppy conformation evaluations and temperament evaluations have now been completed and we will make our final placements. We have homes for everyone, but we are holding onto 2 to let them grow out a bit more, do BPUP (Beginning Puppy 4-6 class in the AKC shows) before deciding who are pick is. Here are some scenes from their 8-week birthday:

Eliza wins best of opposite sex at the pug nationals!

12/6/2023

0 Comments

 
Having just turned 4 months of age, Eliza (Pickwick's Too Generous to Trifle With) won Best of Opposite Sex in a huge line-up of pugs in the 4-6 Beginner Puppy in Virginia Beach, VA October, 2023. The week before (en route up to Virginia) we stopped in Knoxville, TN and she won not only the Breed but also the Toy Group!
Here is Eliza at her very first show (in Knoxville) . . . .
Later in the week, Eliza's sister Emma, (Pickwick's Judge of Your Own Happiness) was incredible at the Nationals with her very first time in a show ring and with a table examination. I was so proud of her! Competition was fierce, of course. Here is Emma being amazing . . . .
And here is Eliza enjoying the sights at the Pug Dog Club of America National Specialty . . . .

Theophilus' new name

10/9/2023

Theo, our singleton from the Bridgerton litter, has a new name! His owners will be calling him Doyle! We love the hard consonant in training and it truly fits this little fella who has so much personality and is SO smart. Amy was attending the Pug National Conference for over a week (and the Knoxville show before that) so she had not seen him for a week and 1/2 until yesterday. He just gets more beautiful every day!

He didn't much like trying to run around in the sweater but it was a bit chilly outside early this morning! (For Alabama folks at least ha!!)

Austen Litter's 1st hotel stay!

7/31/2023

0 Comments

 
Emma, Georgiana, Mr Darcy, Penelope, and Eliza had a blast on their first long car trip and hotel stay! They got to meet some amazing other breeders who evaluated them (for conformation etc. -- temperament evaluations were a couple of weeks ago) and they played and played and played in the hotel! We got home at 1:15 AM (which felt like 2:15 AM Greenville, SC time) so I think they were happy to get back to their playpen in the den and familiar settings. Mom was ;)

The Jane Austen litter puppies got a fabulous bill of health from our vet today. Clear fecal, hearts, lungs, nares, patella/hips, everything super healthy! They had a blast at their puppy party last weekend and everyone loved meeting them. Thanks to everyone who came to the party to help us socialize!

Lilly had 5 pups! 4 girls and 1 boy for her final litter. They are all healthy, thriving, and absolutely gorgeous. Click here for the daily blog to follow along with lives of these pups for their first weeks of life while living at Pickwick Pugs. We hope to have some show prospects as this is a very important litter for us and, hopefully, the pug breed. D.O.B. 5/27/23

The Southern Belle Litter pups got to take a trip to Atlanta and stay at their first hotel! They also enjoyed getting to meet the President of The Pug Dog Club of America, Gary Williams. Thank you so much for your help in evaluating this beautiful litter .... and thank you, also, for breeding their beautiful grandfather, GCH Mianda's Prince Charming at Vanity.

What Our Clients Are Saying

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!!"
