Angel is baking puglets 🐾 get on the w@itlist

(I am keeping pick girl and pick boy from Angel)

Please protect your fur babies and keep them at home.
This is another perfect example as to why I do not allow in home visits and all puppy pickups are on my porch.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family here at Piney Mountain Pugs to your family.

11/20/2023

FYI-
NO Christmas puppies here! I do my best NOT to breed for Christmas puppies. A puppy should be a thought out decision and planned well in advance, not a last minute idea, and calling every breeder around searching for one.

The Broadbent family came today from Richmond, VA and picked up "Perky" and he is already getting spoiled 💕.

The Cruickshank family from Richmond, VA came today and picked up "Chewy". I know he will be well loved by these sweet children.

Beetrice joined the Jones family from Bent Mountain, Va today. I look forward to many updates.

New pen setup (lower panels)...Because the first night they were born, I pulled my typical crash and burn and fell over the metal pen when one of the nuggets started fussing. It woke me out of a sound sleep and I didn't make it over the pen, rather fell and hurt my entire body, but never harmed Star or her nuggets.
On a S/N, I think I still prefer the metal pen better 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Star 🌟 and her 🫘

Just an example of what it takes to breed a GOOD puppy.

It’s not just two dogs and some cute pictures.

POTENTIAL OWNER: How much is the puppy?

BREEDER: $2500+ dollars.

POTENTIAL OWNER: What?? It's way too expensive!!

BREEDER: What do you think would be a good price?

POTENTIAL OWNER: No more than $500. You reputable breeders are so over priced.

BREEDER: I am sorry you see it this way, why don't you try it yourself?

POTENTIAL OWNER: But I've never done it!

BREEDER: For FREE I can teach you how to do it, and in addition you will have the knowledge to do it again.

POTENTIAL OWNER: Perfect, thank you!

BREEDER: To start you will need a female(average cost $4000 and up)and a male(average cost $4000 and up) or semen (average $2000-$2500 and up). You will need to do genetic & health testing on them, averages about $500+ per dog. Lets not forget progesterone testings, inseminations, ultrasounds, x-rays, semen collections, semen analysis, potentially semen overnight shipping and so on ($1500+). Raise and provide daily care, feeding & grooming for 2 years. (minimal $250 per month) Oh, don’t forget monthly prevention, annual vet visits and any other additional vet visits.

POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have that much money...

BREEDER: For $1200 you can raise a litter and then keep one of the puppies. Obviously, you will pay the cost of whelping & care.

POTENTIAL OWNER: I can do that.

BREEDER: OK so I have a female due to whelp in 2 weeks. You will need to be available 24/7 around the clock for at least 8 weeks to help with delivery and care. ( a million loads of laundry) Another 4 plus weeks to monitor mom and puppies.

POTENTIAL OWNER: 12 weeks?? it's way too much time for me! I have to work.

BREEDER: Plus You will need to be available for puppy families to call you 24/7 with a worry or concern no matter the age. You Must also be ready to take back the puppy/dog at any age if the family has a unforseen emergency.

BREEDER: You will also need the reproductive vet to do progesterone testing($110/ test ) & C-section($1000-$5000) and initial vet care on pups until old enough to be placed ($800+).
Have on hand a scale, thermometer, latex gloves, puppy pads, incubator, oxygen concentrator, nebulizar, heating lamp, whelping box, puppy pen, blankets, toys, bowls, cleaning supplies, appropriate food with supplements for mothers, formula, medications & hand feeding supplies in case of emergency....

POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have all these things!

BREEDER: For $5000+ you can buy them.

POTENTIAL OWNER: Ummm .... You know, I think it might be better if I just buy a puppy.

BREEDER: Wise decision.
For us, there are no vacations or holidays, while you go to visit with family & friends we are home at our dogs side caring for them. It is a no breaks commitment.

THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose a reputable person, you aren’t only purchasing the puppy but also: knowledge, support , experience, love, time, sacrifices, etc...

**Plus the cost of life time support to the puppy owners…

These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg (best case scenario!!!) as a reputable breeder who takes on this journey full time!

Very well said…
