Planned Breeding

Well, my dear little Tiggy aka Arvay's Lonestar To Treasure has come into season. She's never been bred so we are excited about the prospect of her having puppies. Tiggy spent a lot of time out at the shows earning points towards her AKC championship. We tried for a very long time to snag one last major (3 point win) for her so she could finish her championship, but it just wasn't in the cards. Tiggy is a small, cobby little bitch that can be a little naughty at times in the ring. On many occasions the judge would come up to her at the table and she would be wiggling her entire rear end in excitement. Most of them forgave her for that as she is just so darn cute. However, a lot of her competition over the last year and a half consisted of bitches that were bigger, had more substance and better behaved. The judges over all either loved Tiggy or they didn't.

In any case, she's a champion in my book and most definitely has some wonderful qualities we hope will be passed on in the whelping box. She is going to be bred to a gorgeous champion male that I've been wanting to breed her to for awhile now. I'm excited and if all goes well, we hope to have puppies born late October. I anticipate she will have a small litter due to her size and her dam and granddam's history, as they too had small litters. As a matter of fact, Tiggy herself was the only puppy born in her litter. Honestly, I don't care how many puppies Tiggy has just as long as they are healthy. Even one gorgeous, healthy puppy (male or female) would be just fine with me (:



So cross your fingers and I'll let you know if this ends up successful.

A face only a Mother could love?

Nah...I don't think so. How could anyone not love the face of a Pug? This is Tiggy. I believe she knows she's cute too (:

I wonder if I can get my Pugs to do this?

Our Matriarch Pug Mookie

Hello All! Sorry it's been a bit since I've updated the blog. I guess that's only because there isn't much to report these days. Our puppies all went to their new homes and right now we only have one of our Pugs out showing. Though we are waiting for two of our girls to come in season and when that happens they will be bred (one for the first time and one for the last time). So that will be exciting.

Of course I can't make an update on here without posting a picture! I think there is some unspoken blog law about doing that...LOL! So let me share with you a picture of Mookie. She's 11 years old and the Matriarch around here. She's our spayed "pet" Pug and truly the love of our lives. In her wiser years, she's getting a little slower, a little rounder and a little lazier...but none the less just as lovable as always. I pray we'll have many more years with her.

First win for Pudge

This past weekend Mianda's Vanilla Pudge of Arvay won winners dog and best of winners. We are excited for him and this puts him on the map towards his AKC championship.

New Pug Postcards and Mini Tags

Here are some new Pug postcards and mini tags I created. I've had so many request for new postcards. I'm glad you all enjoy them. They are pretty fun to send to friends and family in the mail. Just print them on cardstock, write your note on the back, address the front and add a stamp and pop it in the mail. These sort of have a touch of vintage whimsy to them and I really like how they turned out. For a larger view just click the button below.

Our Pug puppies left for their new homes ):

It's been awhile since I've posted and I apologize for neglecting you all. It's just been a whirlwind of activity here lately. Let's see...we planted our garden, had new carpet put in and of course taking care of the human children and fur ones too. So life has been busy for me. This past weekend though I said goodbye to the puppies, except for Tutti (Arvay's Tutti Fruity). Here is a picture of her standing pretty in the yard.
