Welcome to SAXTEN Pugs, we hope you enjoy your visit, and come back and visit us again soon.

SAXTEN Pugs was established in 1985 when we acquired our first Pug. Our son had joined the local soccer club and one of his team mates parents brought their Pug along to all the games. It was love at first sight for my wife, Anne. Many years previous, when I was a child, my mother had an acquaintance that owned two Pugs and they used to stand on a windy corner in the country town of Midhurst where we lived and talk. Being a child, the conversation did  not interest or include me, so I was left to talk to the Pugs! After all those years it was a delight to get re acquainted with the breed. It was only then did I realize how much I missed the snuffles and the snorts.

As breeders, we strive to improve every time we breed, every mating is carefully thought through .As far  as is possible we research  the ancestry of the dogs in a effort to eliminate faults." The Standard " always remains our ultimate guide. 

We enjoy showing our Pugs, and over the years have achieved a measure of success by winning at major shows such as the Royal Queensland Show. 

Enquiries are always welcome at saxtenpugs@uq.net.au

Well that's enough of my waffle, suffice to say that our lives now revolve around our beloved Pugs. Sit back and take a look at some or our Pugs past and present and their achievements in the Show Ring.
