It has been a slow couple of months for the Pug Farm, but weep no more! We will be tending the grounds with regularity from now on.


In the world of pug news, we have one month until the Westminster Kennel Club dog show! Although last year, the best in show award went to a bull terrier, we have high hopes for 2007!

Check out the 2006 breed results for some beautiful pug specimens.

From the site: "The Pug is one of the oldest breeds of dog, originating in China some 700 years B.C. Their presence was noted in Holland, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Russia as early as the 15th & 16th centuries. Their primary purpose has always been exclusively for the companionship and amusement of their people. Pugs combine a cocky confidence with a friendly, sensitive nature. They are great with children and thoroughly relish playtime. They are small yet sturdy, rough and yet sensitive and sincere. Pugs are extremely friendly, uninhibited, delightful, comical little characters. Pugs come in two colors, fawn and black."
