HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price
The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisingly states:
“I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”.
I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a pet”.
Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill.
A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed.
Registration (papers) are records of “lineage that document bloodline” and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage.
When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find!
When you decide to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup ; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime.
This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it.
Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family.
This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.
A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning.
A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c-sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, de-worm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.
Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies.
Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit. Many times saying more no’s then yes...
A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to “carry on their bloodline”, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!

What to look for in a breeder:
Your breeder should belong to the Pug Dog Club of America and a local breed club, if available. Ideally the breeder may belong to numerous clubs and organizations. Usually participation in dog clubs indicates depth of involvement. You should receive a copy of the Pug Dog Club of America Code of Ethics and Educational Guidelines.
Your breeder should be involved in some form of sanctioned competition. This means your breeder is not breeding in a vacuum. The breeder who does not exhibit may have no idea of the Pug’s qualities and is deprived of the opportunity to share information and ideas with peers. Exhibiting provides competition, which encourages breeders to produce better dogs. Even though you may not want a show dog, you deserve a pet that was the end result of a carefully planned litter.
Your breeder should give you a reasonable period of time to have your Pug examined by a veterinarian to determine its state of health.
The breeder should give you written instructions on feeding, training, care and grooming. You should also receive the Pug’s health and immunization records.
A dedicated breeder wants to be consulted so as to ensure that problems are quickly resolved in order that proper care and socialization can be maintained. A breeder that offers you their services, knowledge and experience will be a great asset. Their assistance does not stop when you leave with the Pug. Not only will they offer you their assistance for the life of the Pug, should you be unable or unwilling to keep the pug, they will take that pug back.
Be prepared to answer a battery of questions from the breeder who will be interested in finding quality homes for their puppies. Don’t be offended if the breeder asks whether or not you have a fenced yard or what kind of dogs you have owned in the past and what may have happened to them. Some breeders may ask you to complete a small questionnaire.
Breeders should be willing to have you visit their premises and should be able to exhibit a clean environment, well socialized Pugs and a dam with a good temperament. Puppies should seem happy and self-assured. Often the sire of the puppies is thousands of miles away. The particular dog selected in the breeding could have been chosen for his attributes to the breed or the particular traits found in the breeder’s program.
Breeders should be willing to give you references (names of people with whom they have placed Pugs).
Breeders should provide a contract or some written, signed condition of sale. You should also receive a copy of your Pug’s three generation pedigree, American Kennel Club registration papers or transfer, when applicable.
Breeders will often require that your pet be spayed or neutered when it reaches the correct age and may withhold registration papers until proof is provided. Spayed or neutered dogs are far less prone to many serious maladies. Serious breeders spend a lot of time and effort planning breeding programs designed to improve the breed. They should carry out their programs with only the best quality available. Reputable breeders don’t want their dogs used just to make puppies, or worse yet, end up in a “puppy mill” where they will be used to mass produce.
