WHEN WE PLACE A PUG
We take our responsibility as breeders seriously whenever we decide to sell a Pug. Although we sell on occasion, we typically
do not have puppies available. When we breed, it is because we want to breed a better litter of show puppies, and most are
already spoken for.
Occasionally we have a Pug to place in a loving home. When we determine we have a Pug to be placed, the Pug is always spayed
or neutered first. We do not sell young baby Pugs, most are four to five months, or even older, before we place them. This
allows them time to grow and play with their siblings, gives us plenty of time to evaluate their show potential, gives us enough
time to get them vaccinated, have sterilization surgery, have their microchip implanted, and start their training.
The terms and conditions under which we sell our Pugs have evolved over the years, based upon some unpleasant and
downright awful experiences. All terms and conditions are meant to prevent such negative experiences from being repeated,
both for the Pugs and for us. Keep in mind, we too, occasionally purchase a Pug from someone else, so we also try to be
considerate of our Buyers.
Our #1 Concern
Is always the health and welfare of the Pug!!!
Our #2 Concern
Is how open a potential buyer is to consulting with us if anything comes up during the life of their Pug; whether a health issue; a
behavior issue; or, just general care question.
Serious Breeders are always willing to be there to support their buyers and their Pugs. We're also willing to learn, and seek
the best possible advice. And, we expect a commitment from our buyers that they will consult with us, and our vets, if
anything happens with their Pug.
We do this for two reasons, because we and our vets are more knowledgeable than most general practice vets on the health
issues of the breed, and because as breeders, we must know about any and all health issues in our dogs, so we can take
appropriate measures with our future breeding plans.
We also expect to have a signed sales agreement, which clearly states all expectations for both the buyers and ourselves to
ensure we each understand all expectations.
OUR PROCESS
Step 1 - The Application
The first step in the process of getting a Pug from us is our Application. To obtain an application, please click on the application
link and after completing it, send it to us using the email addresses provided. Be sure to provide as much detail as possible as
to what you want, so we can help you just the right Pug for you, your family, and your lifestyle. Proper placement is KEY in a
happy outcome for all.
Please understand it may take several months or longer to get a Pug from us, and we reserve the right to sell only to those
people we feel will provide a loving home for our Pugs.
Completing the application is not a guarantee we will sell you a Pug.
We do not take deposits on Pugs from anyone, instead, we will do our best to match you up with the right Pug for you and your
situation on a "first come, first serve" basis and want to place the right Pug for each home.
Our Prices - How Much?
Our prices are based upon the Pug in question, so I will not respond to anyone who just sends a note asking, "How much are
your pups?"
Our price for a pet quality Pug is comparable to the price pet Pugs go for in our local newspapers. However, our pups come
with a health guarantee, have been wormed, vaccinated, microchipped, have started their training, and they are spayed, or
neutered. And, we are here to help and support you with the Pug long after your check clears.
"We're not interested in showing, we just want a pet." Some people want to know what Pet Quality means, what's the
difference between Pet and Show? I can tell you that to the average buyer, the difference is not noticeable most of the time.
Things that you can see about a puppy are just the beginning of how we evaluate pups for the show ring.
When we retire our show dogs from the ring and our breeding programs, we also place them after they have been spayed or
neutered. These Pugs are still young enough to enjoy their retirement with a loving family. Our retired Pugs have many
wonderful attributes, as well as being well socialized. Contact us if you'd like more information, or wish to be considered for a
beautiful mature Pug. We place our retired Champions in homes we feel will give them all the love and attention they deserve.
Step 2 - The Contract
If we think we may have a Pug for you, the next step will be for us to send you the sales agreement for your potential Pug.
For pet quality Pugs, the contract will be a more complete version of the SAMPLE Pet Quality Sales Contract, When we
place an older Pug, they will have their own specific re-homing agreement. All our contracts are based upon the SAMPLE Pet
Quality Sales Contract, so be sure to read it and ask questions before deciding you'd like a Pug from us. All terms and
conditions of your contract will be discussed and agreed to BEFORE you are expected to sign it.
After you review the SAMPLE Pet Quality Sales Contract and we agree on all the terms of YOUR Pug's specific contract,
we will make arrangements for you to meet your Pug.
Show Dogs
For our show Pugs, the contract will be similar to the SAMPLE Pet Quality Sales Contract, however, there will be
additional terms and conditions regarding the showing and breeding of the dog. These terms will be negotiated on a
case-by-case basis, depending each individual dog, prospective new owner, and situation. We make no guarantee any Pug we
sell will earn its Championship.
We do not pay any show, transportation, handling, or veterinary expenses for dogs that are not under our direct control.
Buyers assume the responsibility for their pet's care and the expenses when they purchase any dog. Showing and/or
breeding a dog means having additional expenses.
Showing is a hobby, not for profit. We do not control the factors associated with showing the dog, and we are not liable for
any financial loss associated with the owning or showing of a Pug purchased. We will take the Pug back at any time, for any
reason. The Pug's contract, provides the terms for the refund given if a Pug is returned.
WHY A CONTRACT?
Signed written contracts do not keep unethical people honest. They do provide a level of protection from unethical parties,
but most importantly, they are a written record of the AGREEMENT between the parties.
Sometimes we think we know what we heard, based upon what our intentions were, so the parties may remember a
conversation differently. When that happens, unless there is a contract in place, the parties can have serious disagreements.
The contract gives you the blueprint for your association. We might want, or intend something one way, and it seems
reasonable to us, but that does not mean the other party remembers, clearly understood our intent, or agrees with us.
A mutually agreed upon and signed contract is the basis for a solid working arrangement. Both parties know what to expect,
there are no differences of opinion, or lapses in memory to cloud the issue, weeks, or even months later. I do not feel it is
appropriate to let anyone "fall in love" and then expect them to have a clear head when they sign a contract. That's just not
good business. Business agreements need to be discussed upfront, before emotions cloud a person's judgement. I have
NEVER sold a Pug to anyone that did not agree to the terms of the sale BEFORE they met their new Pug. Once you know what
the Seller wants, and any conditions of the sale, and you are fine with all of it, that's the time to meet the Pug, and possibly
sign the contract.
PLEASE, FOR YOUR PROTECTION, DO NOT PURCHASE A PUG FROM ANYONE WITHOUT READING, AGREEING
& SIGNING A SALES CONTRACT! IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS, DO NOT SIGN A LEGAL
DOCUMENT SAYING YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS. PEOPLE MAY CHANGE THEIR MINDS, BUT A SIGNED
CONTRACT IS IN FORCE FOR THE LIFE OF THE DOG IN MOST CASES. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, TAKE
THE CONTRACT TO YOUR ATTORNEY BEFORE YOU SIGN IT.
PUG INFORMATION
If you are just considering a Pug and want more information on the breed, and/or what to look for in your search, be sure to
look at the articles on Marcy Heathman's web site, www.pugs.com. Marcy has one of the best sites for learning all about
Pugs, including an article in her Content Articles section. One of these is titled, "How to Find a Breeder."
DON'T FORGET PUG RESCUE!
All rescues & shelters need your help. Too many innocent lives are being put to an end because there was no one there to love
them. Please visit their web site (link above). You might decide to adopt a Pug in need of a home, make a donation, or volunteer.
We encourage you to consider helping a Pug in need! Sadly, there are just too many pet Pugs being bred by uninformed people
to ignore this problem. No Pug should ever end up in a shelter, and we do everything possible to ensure it never happens to one
of ours!!!
Pugs have become so popular that many people are breeding and without knowledge and experience, or without the guidance
of a committed Pug breeder, and many are not doing proper placements of their pups. When all these puppies develop health
care issue, behavior issues, or when their impulse buyers lose interest, these Pugs, through no fault of their own, end up in
trouble.
Those of us who LOVE this breed and have dedicated our lives to them, are trying to save as many as possible, but we need
your help! The most important thing you can do to help Pugs, is be a responsible buyer.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, NEVER buy a puppy from a Pet Shop!!! No matter what they tell you, no responsible caring
breeder would EVER place a puppy in a pet store. These puppies always come from puppy mills. No matter that you may save
one, if you purchase one, you're condemning it's parents and others to their lives of suffering.
Just say, "NO!" Don't support this industry of shame!!!
QUESTIONS?
Please feel free to ask questions or leave comments. I don't always have time to talk on the phone, but I try to answer my
email mail on a daily basis, unless I'm out of town.
We love to hear from other Pug Lovers & talk Pugs!!!

We have no litters, and the only plans for any breeding are those being made by our girls'
their web site and to see pictures and find out about their adoption process!
I'm challenging all Pug breeders to donate part of the money they sell their puppies for to their local Pug Rescue
organization. When we place a Pug, we will be donating $150.00 of the purchase price to our favorite Pug Rescue, so other
Pugs can have a second chance. If every breeder steps up and donates something, together, we can save the Pugs!
If you are looking for a new Pug, please consider adopting from your local Pug Rescue. Rescue organizations all over the
country are being flooded with owner-surrendered Pugs, and whole batches of Pugs being dumped by puppymills unable to
sell their "merchandise." Rescues across the country are going under due to their resources being max'd out. PLEASE
consider helping with your time, money, or by fostering so we can keep all the precious Pugs being dumped from
being euthanized by the shelters that are overflowing due to so many people having financial emergencies.
If you are interested in one of our Pugs, please read and follow the process steps below. We're always happy to
answer any question you may have about the process, but please keep in mind it may take a while for me to get to
your email. Thanks for understanding!
