The Pony Cafe Pugs

The Pony Cafe Pugs raises champion-bred pugs in Keswick, Virginia, a rural community in the Piedmont region roughly 20 minutes east of Charlottesville. Laurie Pace operates the program on an 18-acre horse farm, where the pugs live inside the home rather than in a kennel setting.

Laurie came to pug breeding through earlier experience with golden retrievers and Shih Tzus, giving her a broad foundation in small-breed care before focusing on pugs. The program emphasizes champion bloodlines and AKC registration, and breeding dogs are DNA tested for Pug Dog Encephalitis (PDE) and pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK-DEF). Those looking for pug puppies in Virginia from health-tested, champion-bred lines will find that this program places particular weight on sound temperament alongside correct conformation.

Puppies are raised in the home environment alongside the farm's other dogs, with an emphasis on early socialization. The Pony Cafe Pugs does not ship puppies; families travel to pick up in person, though dogs from this program have found homes as far as Hungary and Alaska.
