Welcome to PV. I am a fellow Oregonian. Born in Eugene. Currently residing in TN. I have 3 pugs and foster for rescue. I also have an English Mastiff.

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone. I am excited to be here, and to be searching for a puppy again. Granted, it will be perhaps another year before we do bring one home, but I don't want to rush things (easier said than done, of course!).
ayleash - I absolutely agree with you. Any breeder that pushes Christmas puppies on people/families isn't one I'm going to be looking into. Plus, Christmas and just the holidays in general won't be a good time for a new dog, especially because the holidays is a big deal and very busy time of the year.
The breeders I am considering all title their breeding stock and actively show their Pugs and provide contracts and guarantees - one of them even competes in agility with their pugs!
My mother actually lived and went to college in TN for a while before moving to Oregon! I've yet to go there myself, but the weather must be quite different.![]()
Welcome!
Hope you find the right one and please start off topics on random questions you have that owners are best on answering.
It seems odd, yet its a very good mix to have a pug and shepherd. A few people here have that. Also since Trent is younger, it will be nice to get another puppy for him to grow with. Hats off to you though- 2 youngins always seem to get into mischief!

RIP our heart, our little monkey girl.
Thank you - I promise, I am always full of questions, so I may be bombarding everyone soon with them ;)
There is not a dog out there that Trent doesn't love. He's very much a puppy himself, but he's well behaved around the house and starting to become very good with younger and/or smaller dogs. I never did think I'd go from a German shepherd to looking for a pug for the family - but that only teaches me to "never say never"!
Welcome and good luck finding your new family member.
