For over 40 years the goal of Heuberg Pugs has been to develop and maintain the most correct Pug as described in the Pug Dog Club of America/American Kennel Club Standard for the breed. Always striving for the top has led us to have a well thought out and executed breeding program, incorporating not only top Stud Dogs, but also top Bitches. We do not breed for quantity, but rather for quality. Our puppies and adults are placed with the greatest care. All placements are completed with a written contract.
Constantly testing our breeding program in the show ring, competing from Florida to Canada and from Texas to Massachusetts, our dogs are always handled by members of the Heuberg group.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our website. For further information about breeding, training, and showing of pugs, please contact us.
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price
The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisingly states:
“I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”.
I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a pet”.
Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill.
A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed.
Registration (papers) are records of “lineage that document bloodline” and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage.
When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find!
When you decide to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup ; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime.
This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it.
Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family.
This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.
A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning.
A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c-sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, de-worm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.
Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies.
Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit. Many times saying more no’s then yes...
A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to “carry on their bloodline”, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!

BREEDING
Heuberg Pugs is listed as a Breeder of Merit by the American Kennel Club. All breeding animals receive heart knees and PDE tests and certification. Heuberg Pug Stud Dogs are available for breeding to approved bitches. All breedings are conducted under a contract that is provided and signed prior to the breeding. Contact Heuberg Pugs for availability of stud dogs and for a copy of the breeding contract.
PUPPIES
Our main goal in breeding is to improve our line of Heuberg Pugs, not to provide puppies for sale. There are, however, a limited number of Pug puppies available for placement as pet quality. All puppies are sold on a contract and never placed prior to 4 months of age. Pet quality puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract. A limited number of show potential puppies are made available to serious show homes and are also sold on a contract.
OLDER DOGS
At times, adult dogs are available for placement. These dogs have finished their show careers, or did not meet the show standards set by Heuberg Pugs and are placed as pets with selected families.
