and we LOVE to spread the joy of sharing life with a pug...or two or three .....or perhaps even more?

Our Amazing Graceland
|
We live on 25 beautiful wooded acres,our own "Amazing Graceland", on a small private lake. We have three large dogs and one little terrier who run the acreage and serve as Greeters and Escorts to our front door.

We have been owned by pugs since 2001 and have developed a passion for these sweet,funny little clowns. Our pug family continues to grow in numbers,not only in pugs,but also in "Pug People".Each time we place a pug baby in his/her new home,we feel we have added members to our family. We consider ourselves an "adoption service",rather than "breeders",although we are ever striving to improve in the breeding of our pugs..We plan each breeding thoughtfully and with care,with each breeding seeking to "breed up" (improve,if possible.) All of our pugs are registered with the AKC and we raise pugs,and ONLY pugs. We breed responsibly and focus on quality,not quantity. Our girls are bred every other season and very pampered throughout pregnancy. They know that pregnancy means its time for homemade chicken stew from the crockpot!

We have two teen daughters who help us in caring for our pugs and puppies.We also have six other grown children who have moved out and on with their lives. I have discovered,however,how to avoid an empty nest,...PUGS!
|
All of our pugs are quite spoiled.They are fed a quality,holistic food without corn,wheat,dyes and artificial preservatives.We can tell an improvement in their coats and activity levels,as can our vet.At a recent check up our vet commented "Whatever you are doing,keep it up!" Our pugs are also eating less,which is often the case with a high quality food.

Our pugs live in our home as family members. As our pug family members increase,so does the size of our house! We have completed our addition to our house,having adopted Elli,Sake,Bosco,Candy,Baby Bitsy and Meng in 2007. Our new Pugroom is wonderful! The Pugroom is just off of my laundry room,which adjoins my kitchen,so I am able to be close to all of the pugs...that is,the ones that aren't underfoot!

View of New Pug Room From Kitchen
|
There are 3 separate areas in our new Pugroom,so that I am able to separate the boys from the girls, or the boys from the boys, when necessary.The largest area is an 8x12 area which also gives the pugs access to our laundry room. Doggy doors lead out to 3 separate 25X30 pens,which will be enlarged in the Spring of 2008. Windows on 3 sides of the room make the area bright and cheerful. I LOVE the Pug wallborder and the pugs seem to love their deluxe accomodations! (I will be trying to talk hubby into a television in the corner for Animal Planet viewing!) One of the many bonuses is that the room is on the east side of the house so that the pugs are able to enjoy stretching out in the morning sunshine.

The "Bull Pens"
|
Also, one door (not the one pictured above) leads onto our back deck ,so that when we are outside on the deck, we are able to leave that door open for the pugs to join us on the deck. That may be their favorite part... sitting (and begging,of course!) next to the grill!

Our puppies are raised underfoot,amidst our family.They are in our bedroom from birth until they are 3 or 4 weeks old.They then move into the next room,my office/sunroom,which is open to the family room. We are very selective when placing them in their forever homes.We have been exceptionally blessed with the wonderful and loving families who have adopted our pug puppies over the years. Of course,we would never sell puppies to brokers,pet stores,puppymills/puppyfarms,nor kennels for breeding purposes.We also will not "ship" a puppy in cargo of an airplane to deliver a puppy to his/her new home..We will hand deliver your puppy ourselves,if at all possible,or by a puppy nanny.You are also welcome to meet us at Lambert International Airport in St. Louis (to carry your puppy on board with you for his/her flight home) or come to our home and pick up your puppy when he/she is 8 weeks old. We encourage you to visit your puppy prior to 8 weeks of age also,(with precautions to avoid the spread of germs),in order for bonding to begin before puppy leaves Mommy and siblings. We generally have 3 or 4 litters per year and often have a waiting list for our puppies.

Our four year old grand-daughter spends time here frequently with "Mema" and "Papa",helping to care for and love the pugs.She owns a pug of her own,named Daisy,who also comes over for Pug Playdates.
