We do not breed often but, when we do, we carefully evaluate and select puppies that will contribute to the future of our breeding program and the future of this marvelous breed.
Companion Puppies: All puppies who do not remain with Pickwick Pugs or the sire's breeder, will be placed in a loving pet home on a spay/neuter contract. Since our pups are essentially our "children", their well-being is paramount to us and we want to find each pup the perfect match and perfect home resulting in our scrupulous selection process with an initial, in depth inquiry form, subsequent dialogue, and sometimes even home visits.
We do not accept deposits. Our procedure is to gather information of prospective homes to keep on file. When a pup or puppies become available (evaluating no sooner than 7-8 weeks of age) we begin contacting prospective owners to see if they still are looking for a pup. Then we choose the best home for each pup based upon information gathered through the inquiry form and subsequent meetings and conversations.
Why are Pickwick Pugs Exceptional?
Parents are health tested. Parents are AKC champions. Parents are exceptional representations of the breed.
But beyond this . . .
At 7.5-8 weeks of age, a certified trainer will complete the AviDog temperament evaluations of each puppy which will help determine the best fit for each prospective puppy owner. Pickwick Pugs follows the Puppy Culture protocol which involves thorough training and socialization. The balance of the purchase price is due when the puppies go to their new homes at 12 weeks of age, at which point they have already begun their training. We use positive reinforcement and "clicker training" for basic obedience skills such as attention, targeting, leave it, drop it, wait, sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, and fun tricks like shake, spin, hi-five, and bow. They will be crate trained and on their way to mastering house manners and "potty outside". Each new puppy owner will be provided with a training journal complete with links for videos of skills being mastered and other helpful tips.
Pickwick Pugs only sells AKC pugs from AKC Champion, health-tested parents. We do not breed pugs who have not passed all recommended health tests. Our pug puppies are show quality with exceptional pedigrees. A full five-generation pedigree is provided to new puppy owners as well as a complete medical history, vaccination records, vet reports, 2 week’s supply of Farmina N&D Puppy (recommended food) in case you feed a different food and need to gradually switch over, treats, blanket, toys, handouts of articles regarding pug care, AKC Pamphlets, and the book Pugs – The Owner’s Guide from Puppy to Old Age Choosing, Caring for, Grooming, Health, Training, and Understanding Your Pug Dog or Puppy by Alex Seymour, with contributions from Pickwick Pugs. Pickwick Pugs also offers reimbursements for spay/neuter and other incentives as specified in the contract. (Specific details outlined in the contract.)
We train the puppies. Our puppies are socialized.
Puppies go to their new homes knowing skills such as sit, down, stand, watch me, touch, have begun training on loose leash walking and potty training. The puppy will have spent 100's of hours training using the Puppy Culture protocol and will also know some fun tricks such as shake, wave, and spin. In keeping with our "Painting Pugcassos" mission, your pup will also come home with an original paw-painted masterpiece, painted completely with his/her own paws as well as a painting donated to our Art Auction held annually to raise money for animal rescue.
