Ellengon Pugs is a distinguished breeder of top pedigree Pugs, nestled in the picturesque Ellendale Valley of Tasmania. Their dogs thrive in a homely environment and relish their time spent frolicking in the paddock. The breeding focus is on cultivating delightful, cheerful personalities and promoting optimal health.
SAXTEN Pugs came into existence in 1985 when they brought home their inaugural Pug. The trigger was their son's enrollment in a local soccer club, where a teammate's parents consistently brought their Pug to the games. It was an immediate attraction for Anne. In the past, when he was young, his mother knew someone who owned two Pugs. They used to gather at a breezy corner in their hometown of Midhurst for their chitchats. As a child, he was not involved or interested in the conversation, leaving him to engage with the Pugs.
You might be able to find a Pug puppy for sale from as low as around $1,000 but most reputable breeders will probably only start selling their Pug puppies from around $1,800 upwards.
When acquiring a Pug from a small, ethical breeder you will most definitely be provided with the following papers for you and your dog: - Sales Contract with the return policy - Pedigree Papers by the ANKC - Registration Certificate - Health Guarantee stating your Pug was vet checked - Health and Vaccination Papers from a vet - Dog's Identification Tag If any of these documents are missing, or the breeder refuses to provide you with them, you should look for a puppy for you and your family elsewhere.
Generally, there is nothing wrong with looking online for a puppy and searching through ads or social media such as Facebook. If you are worried that you might get scammed by someone offering cute Pug Puppies for relatively low prices, below is a list of things that you can do in order to protect yourself from getting Pug Puppies that aren't what they promised to be.
As stated above, check whether you are in contact with registered breeders that can guarantee you that their Pug puppies have been family raised in a home environment, vet checked, de-wormed, vaccinated and from a healthy litter. Future Pug parents should stick to the following tips when having contact with any potential breeder: - Introductory phone calls are mandatory - Ask lots of questions, and whether the puppies are in good health and according to breed standard (ideally have photos and registration emailed to you prior) - Ask for a visit in order to meet the parents of the Pug puppies, check out the breeder's home environment and inspect the puppies yourself - Ask for all the documents listed above and always pick up your pets in person. If you do not want to wait for the next litter or are interested in older dogs, adoption can be a viable and beautiful option for re-homing pets into new and loving homes. www.barkersboardingkennels.com www.ellengonpugsandcattery.com www.saxtenpugs.com https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/breeders/pug.asp?state=TAS https://ourfamilydog.org.uk/new-puppy-paperwork https://www.rd.com/article/pet-scams/
