Amy Kyker

Amy Kyker raises AKC pug puppies in Troutman, North Carolina, about 30 miles north of Charlotte. Operating under the name Ohana Pugs — "ohana" being Hawaiian for family — her program has been producing pugs for nearly three decades, with roots going back to 1991.

Puppies are raised indoors alongside their mothers through the first five weeks of life, then naturally weaned onto Royal Canin puppy food before receiving a veterinary exam and their first round of vaccinations at six weeks. The program has earned recognition through the Good Dog Responsible Breeding Program, reflecting a focus on dog welfare from birth onward.

Families searching for pug puppies in North Carolina will find that the Ohana Pugs approach centers on early socialization, with the dogs regularly handled by children in the household. All pug adults in the program carry AKC registration, and puppies leave with full AKC paperwork and a starter kit. To accommodate buyers who cannot travel to Troutman, the program offers video visits as an alternative to in-person meetings.
