On rare occasions, we have had a pug who was working toward a championship (or even obtained a championship) but continued to grow too large, or stayed too small, or somehow didn't pass all of the high standards we require for pugs in our breeding program. Normally, these dogs remain with us as family members, are just spayed or neutered, and become companions or pets. However, we have had a couple of cases where a given pug simply did not thrive in a big pack. (Just as with people, there are times when certain dogs simply cannot stand other dogs and would honestly rather not be under the same roof!) While it is heartbreaking, there are times when we know it is in the pug's best interest to live as an "only child" or with a smaller pack of one or 2 more docile 'siblings'. In these cases, even with our champions, we do not charge anything but simply ask the new owners to cover the cost of the final  wellness vet check.

At this time, we do not have any available retired champions or adults needing homes.
