Pickwick Pugs

Pickwick Pugs has been devoted to the pug breed since 1990, making it one of the longer-running pug programs in Alabama. Based in Hoover, just south of Birmingham, the program is run by Amy Mclelland and focuses on producing AKC conformation and obedience champions.

The pugs at Pickwick live in the home, which allows Amy to closely observe each dog's temperament, learning style, and individual personality over time. The program also maintains a dedicated health test fund, and extensive health screening is a stated part of how dogs are selected for breeding. Dogs who are retired from the breeding program are placed in forever homes as companions, while others continue competing in performance sports including agility, obedience, and tricks.

Early socialization is a structured part of the puppy program. Each litter goes through a protocol that begins before birth and builds through daily handling, sound exposure, scent and texture exploration, and outings to real-world environments. Puppies earn an AKC Tricks title before 12 weeks of age. For anyone searching for pug puppies in Alabama with a documented focus on both conformation and early training, Pickwick Pugs represents a long-established option in the greater Birmingham area.
