Marie Clifford

Marie Clifford is a pug breeder in Arroyo Grande, CA, and serves San Luis Obispo County and the central coast near San Luis Obispo. She has been caring for these compact companions for more than fifteen years, keeps her dogs registered with national breed clubs, and oversees regular health screenings for breathing, eye and joint conditions.

Her home-based facility includes climate-controlled indoor areas and a secure outdoor run where puppies grow familiar with household routines. Early socialization includes supervised interactions with children and gentle training sessions to build confidence.

Many of her pugs earn titles in local conformation events and participate in community therapy visits. Families note her open communication throughout each stage of growth and the ongoing advice she offers to support a smooth transition into a new home. Her approach emphasizes gentle, reward-based techniques tailored to the breed’s temperament.
