They are on my call list for sure.

In any decent sized town there will be a vet running a small adoption/rescue at their clinic as an add on. Adopt from them. I have the best dog I've ever owned right now. Adopted her straight from the vet who knew she was a bad arse dog.

ask the breeder how many puppies were in the last 2 litters
when they answer then you know how many references they will be giving you so if they had 7 puppies in the last 2 litters I would want 7 names and phone numbers and they will not give the names or they don't keep records walk.

Don't.
GO to a rescue and get a dog from there.
Breeders are the problem.

If you want a purebred Pug then just get one and don't let random people make you feel guilty about it. Just ensure you're 100% committed to keeping it for its entire life and that youre prepared to properly train it, socialize it, and pay for any healthcare (even if you get married, ahve kids, whatever that make a dog a little less priority - must commit to it).
Pugs are predisposed to eye diseases and upper airway issues. I would not buy a pug unless I had copies of CERF exam records for both sire and dam. This exam has to be performed by a veterinary ophthalmology specialist. I also would ensure that there was no history of upper airway surgery that was needed (whether it was performed or not) in the lines of both sire and dam. If they don't think this information is important or don't even know what this is then I'm walking away no questions asked.
This is a good idea though I wouldn't be as rigid on all 7 names/numbers. Some people don't want to be contacted.

Buy from a breeder. If you don't like it, bring it to a shelter. They will know what to do with it.

So instead of getting a shelter dog that needs a home, you're gonna overpay some redneck for a dog that is likely an inbred. Good call retard.

Or just post your name and phone number here so everyone can call you, to tell you about the best dogs. I'm sure no one minds if their contact info is given out.

Seriously get a Boston. You are from the area and they are a lot like pugs only cooler and more athletic, plus you are a dude and Bostons are more for dudes than pugs. My last boy Boston was named Brady after Tom Terrific, I'll even let you use the name.

damn. It was the obvious ot response I just got my first dog. It was found at a dumpster and I adopted it from the owner who didn't want it
Is that OK?

No. Because of you, a shelter dog died. I hope you can sleep at night.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I got a lot of good questions to put on my questionnaire.
