Puggle News
August 2008 - The BBC has aired a revealing documentary on the health of a number of well-known pedigree breeds, including the Pug. Shockingly ignorant and greedy breeder practices were also revealed, including the culling of healthy Rhodesian Ridgeback pups. This highlights the need to check-out any breeder, pedigree or otherwise, before buying a pup, especially making sure to ask what health tests are completed, and how the results of these affect breeding.
