Here is a little information about our family and dogs.
My name is Brad and my wife is Jeanine. We have two children: a 14 year old daughter, and a 5 year old son. We near one mile outside the small town of Lawton. We have a small modest home and several outbuildings, on about 4 acres of property. About an acre is fenced in for the dogs, and we also have a pony, rabbits, and cats for pets. Our pups get to experience a little of everything.
Jeanine began breeding Boxers around 1997, and that is still our primary breed we raise today. Since that time we have owned several different breeds. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and Springer Spaniels did not work out very well for our family.
We have raised purebred Pugs for nearly 5 years without a lot of sucess. They are a very difficult breed to raise, and in 5 years we have only been able to raise a total of 12 puppies. Due to birthing issues and the fact that they are very bad mothers, often laying on their babies on purpose.
Though we love the look of the Pug, their health issues are also very frustrating. Breathing problems, eye problems, hip, patella, and allergy problems all PLAGUE the breed. Then their is the shedding. They are the worst shedders I have ever experienced.
Then in 2006, under much pressure from co-workers and friends, we purchased our first adult Beagle, and shortly after had our first litter of Puggles. All healthy, and strong, with no puppy loss. The mothers were wonderful and loving.
We needed no more convincing.
ALL of my adult dogs are crate trained and come in the house at night and during the day when the weather is unsuitable. All of our Beagles of breeding age were purchased as adults from a kennel in Michigan. Even though they have had little in the house training and socialization, all are very friendly, loving, tolerant dogs.
Our man Rain-Lo was also purchased at age 2 years from his original breeder, who was downsizing her breeding program at the time. I feel very lucky to have such a small, healthy boy.
