Adoption
If you are interested in becoming an adoptive family please fill out our questionier below... Adoption application is at the bottom of this page Some breeding seasons may be busy around here while others are more quiet,which means we may have from 0 to 4 litters per year,never breeding before a pug is mature and ready for motherhood/fatherhood,and always breeding with the intent of bettering the breed each time a litter is planned. If you would like to be on our list for a puppy, after you fill out the form we will contact you to let you know what your next step is in the process. If we do not have puppies available for adoption we will referr you to those we personally feel are reputable and responsible breeders in and around Washington state. Our adoption prices are based on the immense dedication it takes to breed,whelp,& raise healthy adults and puppies. We invest a great amount of time~energy and money into bringing quality~ healthy~ happy puppies into the world and raising them to be well adjusted for life,and their new adoptive families.We have selectively,and carefully reinvested in quality pug lines that we feel will enhance health and conformation in our breeding program. Adoption Fees Will run from $1200 on up to $3500 depending on many things form conformation asessment,to cost to whelp the litter. For PETS of traditional/standard colors and non standard colors.(Fawn,Black.Apricot,White,Silver,& on rare occasion Brindle) Open/Full AKC Registration On rare occasion we allow full AKC breeding rights of our pugs,but ONLY to those we consider to have a good breeding plan in place,& will be dedicated to improving this breed (You must be a PugsofColorClub Member to even be considered.)... We would prefer that anyone who has been allowed the honor of full breeding rights on a female not breed her before the age of 18 months and preferably after 20 months. We would also prefer that Males not be used for breeding under a year old. If you are considering breeding then you also need to consider that you will have to invest in a safe secure heavy duty pen for a male,and or female,these pens usually run about $500 and are AKC approved,roomy,and easy to put together.They come with a roof for shade and are water proof to keep your pug dry.(Available through Costco.com)Also you must factor in a nice dog house (preferably wood as they do not sweat like plastic does,usually these dog houses run about $100.00) with a heated bed($75.00) and a door flap to hold in the heat($75.)Pugs do not do well in the elements. If you do not secure your male you can and will end up with an unwanted breeding that could have been prevented. When you rotate your pugs and bring either into your house during heat cycles be prepared to buy a couple pairs of diaper/panties for your female as she will be bleeding for a several weeks and this will wreck your carpet and your furniture if you donot keep these on her. And your male will need belly bands as he will absolutely want to hike his leg in your house because of the female heat cycle.The belly bands will need to be changed often,so be prepared. A responsible breeder must factor in all of these costs. Be prepared to answer a ton of questions if you are seeking to breed.. Full Akc breeding rights are on a case by case basis to loving,responsible,approved families/breeders...We DO NOT sell our puppies to Back Yard Show/breeders or Back Yard hobby breeders of any kind. We encourage anyone who wants to improve the breed to save the money it would cost to have your pug put into the show ring and do genetic health testing INSTEAD...this is what will preserve the pug breed's health in all colors,and for generations to come. (standard colors.) Full breeding rights for standard colors can vary ,you should expect to pay from $1500 to $3500 ..... We all start somewhere,and I am happy to help you identify wether or not this is a path you would really like to go down. Our Pugs of Color breeding Program
We have worked very hard and invested a tremendous amount of research time,energy,& money into our silver, and white breeding program.Breeding for a better conformation,dark pigment in skin and nails, not dilute eyes and nails as those who indiscriminantly,& unscrupulously breed these colors, and then ask a "rare" price.
It is not fair for those of us who have actually busted our butts, and wallets to breed these colors responsibly and with integrity. Do be careful of those advertising these colors but do not a have a good,responsible breeding program in place,you do not know what you are getting in this case,genetic faults etc... Our lines both colored and standard this far in the multiple generations on the ground have been healthy and there is no current history of genetic defects or faults in our protege(this far into our breeding program),we would not hesitate to remove a line that has a history of genetic faults no matter what color it may be. We keep in contact with most every family who has adopted our pugs through the years,as this is the best way of knowing how genetically sound our breeding program is. We do care very much about the future health of our lines. Breeding rights on Pugs of Color
Most of the time If we have these colors available they will be for pet only homes.(We may have an exception on occasion if we have a quality pug of color that represents what we feel is an excellent conformation and temperament.)This responsibility will not be handed over to just any body.Only to those who have joined the Pugs of Color Club and are members in good standing will be considered.
When we have a pug of color with the conformation that is consistent with what we desire, only then will we consider breeding rights on these colors.(the exception to the rule) Be prepared we are choosy,and it will only go to those we feel will work as hard as we have with these colors. No pug that has been adopted from us is allowed to be surrendered to an animal shelter,these pugs must be returned back to us,no questions asked. We have the right of refusal on all of our puppies should we decide to change our mind on your suitablity as an adoptive home.If we have carefully chosen you as an adoptive family,we then accept a nonrefundable half down deposit on all puppies. If your circumstances change and you need to wait until a later date to adopt ~ your deposit will be good toward the adoption of a puppy from a future litter.The initial purchase of the pug you choose to buy will mean the difference between having your vet for a best friend ,or a having your pug for a best friend.You may choose to adopt as cheaply as possible with the possibility endless vet bills ~ or invest wisely and forgo the issues associated with poor breeding and care. Please look around and you will see the difference~you will get what you pay for. © Funny Farm Pugs OUR GUARENTEE We as pug only breeders have done all that is possible to ensure that your new family member is in good health at the time of adoption. It is VERY IMPORTANT to your new puppies health that you provide all necessary preventive vaccinations, provide a healthy diet, regular veterinary care, and adequate living conditions.Please remember that these puppies are given thier FIRST set of shots between 7 to 8 weeks of age because to vaccinate before this age is useless as the mothers immunities DO NOT taper off until the puppies reach this age so ANY SHOTS GIVEN BEFORE THIS AGE ARE RENDERED USELESS.VERY IMPORTANT~ your puppy needs to stay away from outside germs from the time you take him/her home until two weeks after the THIRD set of shots,that means no walks unless it is in your own back yard,no parks,and no pet stores.Each set of shots are given about three weeks apart. Your new puppy is guaranteed against GENETIC defects such as, nasal/palate obstruction that causes cyanosis,heart murmur, spinal deformity that causes paralysis, and knee luxation for the period of one year from his or her birth. If a genetic defect is found within the above mentioned time frame and is verified by a second veterinarian of our choice, you will then have the option to request a replacement puppy as soon as one is available, upon the safe return of this puppy back to us (at new owner's expense). If you are already bonded and decide to keep this puppy, you would receive one half of the agreed upon original purchase price when proof of spaying or neutering has been submitted and verified. Because environmental factors can play a part in a dog’s health, we do not cover certain ailments.
THIS DOES NOT COVER INJURY OR ILLNESS DUE TO ACCIDENTS OR NEGLIGENCE. Please fill out the Questioner Below,so that we can learn more about your suitability as an adoptive family.All information asked is required for us to consider you as a serious home for one of our pugs. Thank you :) |
