Different Types of Pug Breeders
Not all Pug breeders are the same; there is a vast and deeply important difference between those who breed because the love Pugs and those who breed simply for money reasons.
To have a healthy Pug, it is vitally important to wisely choose which breeder you will purchase from. If you are looking to breed your Pug, it is also important to only do business with those that are ethical and caring.
Directories are filled with backyard breeders, unethical breeders, those who scam (putting up stolen photos to grab your deposit money)...and some wonderful Pug breeders

How to Find a Pug Dog Breeder
If you are looking for an ethical Pug breeder, there will be some telltale signs to let you know if the person you are speaking with cares about Pugs or simply wants to earn a living by breeding them.
Before the popularity of the Internet, many people would look through their public phone book and just choose the breeder closest to them. A lot has changed.
Now, people have the benefit of looking at the websites of Pug dog breeders. This can give you a good start, however never base your decision simply on the photos that are placed on the site.

It is best to obtain a puppy from a small home-based breeder. While this alone will not completely determine the health and proper socialization of the pup, it is a good start.
Small, home-based breeders are able to watch over each dog, each puppy & have the time for proper socialization. Many are able to begin paper training.
Some breeders, who have many dogs, are akin to Puppy Mills. The female Pug dogs are forced to give birth over and over again. In the US, current laws allow these breeders to place dogs in cages so small, most allow 3 inches of room above the head. Mandated exercise, by law, can be when the dogs turn around in their cages. Never buy from a large breeder, doing so will allow them to continue with their programs.
Other Signs of a Good Pug Dog Breeder
Once you take a look at many breeders online, now it is time for phone calls. There are many questions that you should ask. We do not recommend dealing with anyone who does not take personal calls and will only email to you. You will want to ask:
- How many dogs are in their breeding program?
-
Which dogs are outside and which are inside? This is a "trick" question, as you will want the answer to be that zero dogs are outside. Beware of those who rotate the dogs...some in kennels and some indoors.
-
How often they will breed a single female? Do they allow the female to rest in between heats or alternate with on heat for breeding and the next for rest.
-
At what age are females retired? Do the retired dogs stay with the breeder or are they found homes.
-
Is there a contract that states: Any puppy must be returned to the breeder if things do not work out (this shows that they care about the pup and do not want that puppy to end up in a shelter or an unapproved home), at least a 1 year health guarantee against genetic health issues, registration papers are given to you (limited registration shows that the breeder cares about the bloodlines and does not want owners to breed if they do not have the knowledge to do so).NOTE: The PetPugDog Book explains the entire breeding process from start to finish, for those who are thinking about breeding their Pugs.

Once you compile a list of 4 or 5 possible choices, you should then visit. Stay away from anyone who will not allow you to visit their home. Of course, visiting is best but may not be possible if you decide one of the potentially perfect ones is far from you.
A good breeder will take all the time necessary to explain all aspects of their breeding philosophy and answer all questions from you. If you are rushed off the phone or told that you must be there in person to have questions answered, move on to the next one.

When you do finally visit Pug dog breeders, it is recommended to never go with the intention of buying. This is a big decision and it may be best to visit at least 2 or 3 breeders before you choose. Make sure the area is clean, dogs look happy and healthy and that the owner of the breeding business has papers for all of their dogs. Steer clear of puppies who are listless (weak and do not romp around and play by the age of 7 weeks), have discharge from the eye/s, and listen to the pup's chest for any rasping noises.
