About the owners: Bob and Keven Birdwell live in Danville and brought Gage home in August 1995.  The breeder asked that he be shown, and they discovered the sport of dog showing.  After Gage completed his championship in November 1996, they decided to add another pug to their family and found Tory (Ch. Grapevine's Enchanting MsTory, ROM*) in early 1998.  Gage and Tory were the foundation of Storybook Pugs and Tory finished her championship in 1999. She was bred later that year and produced 2 litters, a total of 10 puppies, 7 of whom are titled.  They are looking forward to a  litter this year from Gage & Tory's granddaughter, Delaney.
