The pugs live in a family home with indoor-outdoor access and receive daily socialization to encourage confident, friendly temperaments. From an early age, puppies join structured play sessions and gentle handling routines to support positive behavior and bonding. Prospective owners are provided with detailed information on feeding, grooming, and training to help pugs settle smoothly into their new households.

They work with experienced pug mentors and partake in local club gatherings to stay informed about best practices. Each puppy leaves with a comprehensive health record and a starter guide covering care routines and early training tips. Ongoing support is available for questions about nutrition and behavior as puppies mature.
