ADOPTION

 

 

 











 


 Wrinkle Ranch pugs are family members first and show dogs second.  They are raised with lots of hands-on love and attention.  We strive to place our pugs in a home where they are treated as family, and are given lots of love and attention.

If you're interested in owning a puppy from Wrinkle Ranch Pugs, you will need to fill out our questionnaire first.  This provides us with information about what kind of home you are going to provide for a puppy.  Please complete the questionnaire fully and add any information you feel is beneficial. 

We do not take deposits.  Since our goal is to place our puppies in the best homes possible, we don't want people to feel obligated because they placed a deposit.  Nor do we want to hold onto your money while you wait for a litter to be born and selections to be made between show and pet puppies.

Shipping is available during certain times of the year, weather permitting.  All shipping charges are the responsibility of the buyer, including a health certificate (required by the airlines), crate, travel time, gas and cost of air fare.  I can provide an estimate on request.

COMPANION PUPPIES: Puppies sold as a companion will have a "limited" AKC registration. This means the dog/bitch CANNOT be used for show or breeding; these puppies are for family pets.  All puppies have their dew claws removed, dewormed, vaccinated to date and are potty-paper trained.  They are all micro- chipped for identification.  Our puppies are sold with a written sales contract, AKC registration or application for registration and a signed copy of the sale receipt.  Also included is a care and training guideline, microchip information, vaccine schedule and five generation pedigree.

SHOW POTENTIAL:  A show quality puppy has the potential to be a Champion of tomorrow and is sold with the signed promise from the buyer that the dog will be shown in AKC shows.  We only sell show/breeding quality puppies to those people that are currently showing dogs, belong to a local all breed or a specialty breed club.

If you are interested in being considered for a puppy, please fill out the following questionnaire.  The purpose of this questionnaire is to help me decide if a pug is a good match for your lifestyle.  As a breeder, my responsibility is first and foremost to my puppies.

Cut and paste the following questions into an email, fill-in your answers next to the question, and send to me at wrinkleranch@sbcglobal.net.  

Thank you for your interest in our pugs!
