New puppies in our future....

We completed a breeding to Arvay's Rikki Tikki Tavi and I'm a bit optimistic that it was successful. She is due later in February and starting to show signs that she's "with pugs". Rikki is a darling small female and I'm really looking forward to these puppies. I anticipate they will have beautiful heads, nice bone and small compact bodies. All the puppies will be fawn.

I'll keep you posted! Here is a picture of Rikki. Isn't she a cutie-patootie?!

Pug - Cicles

The Pugs love the snow...well, most of them anyone. I think Ingrid believes she's too much of a Diva to get her dainty little feet cold. Can't really say I blame her though...it's COLD! Here they while out doing their business this morning.

Following the "Pied Piper". Notice the cute little Pug butt showing that my son is holding?

Scoobie and Bindy enjoying themselves.

Ingrid says "OK, I'm ready to go in now! A Princess such as myself has no business getting her paws wet and cold...thank you very much!"

Well, a little snow anyway. Scoobie who is now 4 months would do this all day long if I let him! LOL!

Merry Christmas to all, from all of us here at Arvay Pugs!

Scoobie the Pug

Here are a couple pictures I took of Scoobie today. He's such a sweetie.

Original black and fawn Pug Painting - Lofty Journey

My imagination tends to see Pugs in a variety of whimsical situations. I wonder where these two are headed? Perhaps they just wanted to take a hot air balloon ride and see the world from a higher elevation? This is a mixed media painting done on a 15 1/2 x 12 1/2 solid oak cupboard door. The sheet music came from antique song books.

The edges have been sanded for an aged look.

Pugs are Angels in desguise Printable Tags

Brrr, it's freezing here! The Pugs are all snug in their beds with visions of liver snacks dancing in their heads. So while they were snoozing I created these printable tags. These cute little tags measure 3 1/4 inches x 2 inches wide and each sheet prints out 6 tags. They would make great little gift tags. A portion of the proceeds will go to Pug rescue. If you would like a set just click on the "more info" button below. They are much clearer than shown here in this preview image.

Arvay Pugs New Show Puppy!

I'd like to introduce you all to Shijo's Boot Scootin Boogie of Arvay, aka "Scoobie". Scoobie and Pudge (oh lord, I hope I have this right...looking at pedigrees too long can be hazardous on ones brain cells), are half Uncle/Nephew.

Isn't he a doll! I am SO thrilled to have him and he completes a dream that has been many years in the making of having two wonderful show males from these particular bloodlines.

Here are some pictures of the little man at 12 weeks old and a fun short video for your viewing enjoyment.
