About the Owner: We have had a pug since 1990; they were always our house dog.  We retired in 2000 and decided to get a show bitch and start breeding pugs -- much harder then we expected.  It took until 2006 before we got the puppy we wanted from Mianda Pugs (Phyllis Williams).  Then I decided she was too small.  Rosemary Robles talked me into keeping her and said she's fine.  She was dynamite in the show ring even though she weighed 15 lbs.  I almost sold her as a pet because of her size.  Thank goodness for helpful pug friends.
