Buster's Page

These are pictures of my first pug. He was not show quality (a.k.a. the ugoly Pug), but did his best in Jr Showmanship and Obedience. I learned to show using this smart, stubborn little dog and always knew I was loved.

One last thought:

While Buster was well loved, he began his life in a backyard breeder's operation. I encourage everyone to look for a reputable breeder as health problems are common in animals whose only purpose is to make somebody money. Buster has a lot of health problems that only showed up years down the road. I have promised that should I breed I will do everything in my power to ensure that my puppies will be healthy (physically and genetically ) and structurally sound (including finding a dam and sire with good confirmation and a good disposition). I can tell you that there is nothing worse than to fall in love with an animal and become frustrated because of health problems that no dog should have to deal with. I am now waiting for a Puppy that I will be able to love and get back into showing with. Please take time to find the right animal... he will be with you for up to 16 years!!!
