We raise Pug puppies (fawn and black) on our farm in the Missouri Ozarks. We have five sons, still at home, to help in taking care of our dogs and puppies.
Our oldest son is married and works for the Atlanta Police Department. our second son is in at Bible/Missionary School in Ohio. The 'little boys' love to help Dad with chores and really love it when that means playing with dogs and puppies. We are state licensed and inspected and we are also inspected by AKC. We do not sell to brokers or puppy stores, and we do not sell or buy import dogs. We strive to have happy and healthy puppies and dogs.

Puppy Purchase Information
Congratulations on your decision to add a puppy to your family!!! We will do everything we can to
make sure this is a good experience for you.
One of our main objectives is to raise healthy, happy puppies. One way we accomplish this is to have
healthy, happy dogs. We follow a very strict and effective health schedule for all our dogs and puppies.
We will have our veterinarian check your puppy at least once and usually twice, before you receive
him/her. We guarantee your puppy to be free of serious, life-threatening, genetic abnormalities. If there are any
minor, breed related, treatable, or correctable conditions, we will do our best to inform you before you
receive your puppy. These are not covered by the guarantee. Also, environmental conditions are not
covered.
We request that you see your veterinarian within 5 days to confirm that your
puppy is healthy. This health check is for your benefit and it is your choice
to do so or not. If your veterinarian finds a problem that is life-threatening,
you must contact us immediately. If you wish, at this time, to receive a replacement
puppy, we require that you obtain statements from two unrelated veterinarians.
You must return the affected puppy to us and when a puppy is available, you
will receive a replacement puppy. There are no refunds.
After your vet has determined that you have received a healthy puppy, we will send your AKC
registration papers and the sale is considered final. We have no way to guarantee a puppy beyond this
time. There are too many factors that we have no control over when the puppy leaves our home. If
there are any life-threatening, non-treatable genetic abnormalities that your puppy was born with, they will be
evident by this time.
We hope you have thought about the responsibility you are taking on with the addition of a puppy to
your home. This puppy will be dependent on you for all his/her food, care, love and shelter.
This responsibility will also include medical costs. We will send you information about pet healthcare
insurance. If you live in an area where pet medical care is costly, you may want to consider this
insurance. Please be aware that all veterinarian/medical charges that are incurred are your
responsibility. We do not cover vet bills. There are no exceptions.
We recommend that you do not take your puppy to public places, unless it is absolutely necessary, until
your puppy has had all his/her vaccinations. Because parvo is highly contagious, your puppy will not be
fully immune until he/she has had all his/her puppy shots.
Also, do not ever try to force feed food or water. Take great care to protect your puppy from getting lost
or stolen. Look around your home for any areas that may cause an accident that would harm your
puppy. Use a crate or a partitioned area of a room for puppy to stay, when you are away from home.
We strongly recommend that you neuter/spay your puppy. We do not require this - we give full
registration allowing you the right to make your own decision - but we believe you will be happier with a
dog that has been neutered/spayed. A neutered/spayed pet will make a healthier pet that is easier to
care for. We make no guarantees about breedablity of your puppy.
Finally, we must have final payment before we will set up your puppy's flight/delivery schedule. The
exception is if you are picking up your puppy and your final payment is made with cash.
Please let us know if you have any questions before or after you receive your new puppy. Feel free to
contact us even if you don't have any questions. We always love to hear and get pictures from the
families of our puppies.
We hope your new puppy will be a blessing to you for many years!!!

Pug Breed Standard
General Appearance
Symmetry and general appearance are decidedly square and cobby. A lean, leggy Pug and
a dog with short legs and a long body are equally objectionable.
Size, Proportion, Substance
The Pug should be multum in parvo, and this condensation (if the word may be used) is
shown by compactness of form, well knit proportions, and hardness of developed muscle.
Weight from 14 to 18 pounds (dog or bitch) desirable. Proportion square.
Head
The head is large, massive, round-not apple-headed, with no indentation of the skull. The
eyes are dark in color, very large, bold and prominent, globular in shape, soft and
solicitous in expression, very lustrous, and, when excited, full of fire. The ears are thin,
small, soft, like black velvet. There are two kinds-the "rose" and the "button." Preference
is given to the latter. The wrinkles are large and deep. The muzzle is short, blunt, square,
but not upfaced. Bite - A Pug's bite should be very slightly undershot.
Neck, Topline, Body
The neck is slightly arched. It is strong, thick, and with enough length to carry the head
proudly. The short back is level from the withers to the high tail set. The bodyis short and
cobby, wide in chest and well ribbed up. The tail is curled as tightly as possible over the
hip. The double curl is perfection.
Forequarters
The legs are parallel when viewed from behind. The hindquarters are in balance with the
forequarters. The thighs and buttocks are full and muscular. Feet as in front.
Coat
The coat is fine, smooth, soft, short and glossy, neither hard nor woolly.
Color
The colors are silver, apricot-fawn, or black. The silver or apricot-fawn colors should be
decided so as to make the contrast complete between the color and the trace and the
mask.
Markings
The markings are clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, moles on cheeks, thumb mark
or diamond on forehead, and the back trace should be as black as possible. The mask
should be black. The more intense and well defined it is, the better. The trace is a black
line extending from the occiput to the tail.
Gait
Viewed from the front, the forelegs should be carried well forward, showing no weakness
in the pasterns, the paws landing squarely with the central toes straight ahead. The rear
action should be strong and free through hocks and stifles, with no twisting or turning in
or out at the joints. The hind legs should follow in line with the front. There is a slight
natural convergence of the limbs both fore and aft. A slight roll of the hindquarters typifies
the gait which should be free, self-assured, and jaunty.
Temperament
This is an even-tempered breed, exhibiting stability, playfulness, great charm, dignity, and
an outgoing, loving disposition.
