Why this breed is missing
Why we don't currently place Pug puppies
The breed-specific health risks for the Pug are high—especially when it comes to breathing and stamina. In these cases, a lot depends on the breeder: on consistent screenings, transparent results, and breeding selection that prioritizes health over appearance. Assessing this breed is complex and not straightforward. We currently don't have a standard for this that we would rely on—which is why we aren't showing any breeders or puppies for this breed for the time being. As soon as we can change this, we'll include the breed again.

Breed standard
Brindle is not standard-conforming in the Pug.
Colour is not a mark of quality. A price premium for a ‘rare’ colour is a warning sign.
