Millpond Pugs

Millpond Pugs, pugs in Sacramento, CA in Northern California near San Francisco. Jean Ettinger has bred pugs for more than ten years, is a member of national pug clubs and registers litters with the American Kennel Club while maintaining health screening for hips, eyes and respiratory function.

Puppies remain inside the family home and join in daily socialization activities, from kitchen playtime to supervised backyard exercise. Puppies are raised alongside children and household pets to foster well-rounded temperaments. Balanced nutrition and routine veterinary care support healthy growth, and early neurological stimulation prepares each pup for new environments. Several Millpond pugs have become certified therapy dogs visiting senior centers and support groups around the region.

Litters are kept small so each puppy receives focused care and regular photo and video updates from whelping through adoption. New owners benefit from detailed home-care guidance, lifelong breeder support and a community of fellow pug enthusiasts.
