PHOTOS OF OUR TWO NEW LITTERS OF PUGGLES IS ON THE WEBSITE, TAKE A PEEK AT OUR ADORABLE PUGGLES

About Our Puppies:

Puggles are great family dogs. They are friendly happy little creatures that love children and get along very well with other pets. They are bright and adventurous. Puggles learn very quickly. They are cuddly lap dogs like pugs. They also have the energy and playfulness of beagles. They are the best of both breeds

Cockapoos are also marvelous hybrid mix designer dogs. They are wonderful family dogs and are generally considered hypo-allergenic. They are friendly and extremely intelligent, Cockapoos are faithful, loving and playful animals. They are also very inquisitive. But, of course, that goes along with their superior intellect.

Vets are thrilled with hybrid mix designer dogs because they are much healthier and have less health issues than their purebreed counterparts. For example, one of the greatest benefits of the beagle/ pug mix, is that it helps eradicate the breathing problems that are typical of the pug breed. It also helps correct the eye problems that many pugs tend to have. Cockapoos also are much healthier than their pure breed counterparts.

A few days before Christmas, Kerry, our new next door neighbor came over to bring us a holiday pie. When she saw our house full of puppies, she was absolutely enamored. She immediately got down on the floor and began playing with the puppies. Kerry was just beaming and exclaimed with great enthusiasm, " This is such a great mix, these puppies are so healthy!" I failed to mention that our new neighbor happens to be a veterinarian.

 

Petite puggles and standard puggles have the same adorable features and winning personalities. The standard puggles generally weigh between 16-24 pounds. The petite puggles are usually 5 or 6 pounds lighter than the standard size puggles. Our petite puggles are bred with a puggle mother and a very small pug father. They are therefore 3/4 pugs and tend to have more of the pug features.

 

A Note from Bernadette:

Hello There,

Firstly, I want to thank you for looking at my webiste.

My name is Bernadette Santana.

Iam not Amish. That is why I have a computer and a website. I do not work with anyone that I do not know and trust

Erwin and Linda, our main breeders, have been breeding dogs for more than twenty years. Our families have had close ties for many years.. . Erwin's brother worked on my cousin's dairy farm in Pennsylvania. His father and brothers work as carpenters for my other cousin's construction company. So I do know them well and they are very loving, kind and trustworthy people..

I started selling Erwin's puppies because I did not like the idea that their pupples were being sold primarily to pet shops. I am convinced that pet shops are generally terrible places for puppies because so many dogs get sick from exposure to other dogs who have not been properly immunized. My pastor's wife bought a pomaranian recently at a local pet shop.They had the puppy less than a week and it died. They were devastated and very sad.to say the least. I have heard far too many of these types of stories. I hear from people who call me to get a puppy after they have had bad experiences with unethical breeders and pet stores.

It also upsets me that pet shops do not screen their potential customers. I have long known that just because someone has money, does not mean that they will necessarily be a good pet owner.

Recently, I have been asked to help two of Erwin's friends sell their puppies as well. I drove through back woods country and finally found both of the farms.. It was well worth the trip. I loved what I saw. The adult dogs came running to greet me and they were friendly and waging their tails. I met the dams and the sires and they are just beautiful.

My love for animals started very early. As a child, I spent all of my summers on my grandparents' farm. I have loved and cared for animals all of my life. I have had every pet imaginable and even rescued white mice from a medical school when my brother Ed was a student.!

I've always dreamed of working with animals in some capacity and after moving to upstate New York from Brooklyn, my lifelong dream has become a reality.I began working with Erwin and Linda. Amazingly, Linda knows the puppies like I know my seven children. Yes, you read correctly, I am a mother of seven children! Linda and Erwin's daughter Emma, featured at the top of our home page, is our official "puppy handler."She puts bibs on the puppies and pretends that they are her baby dolls.

Our puppies are raised in a barn with cats, horses, goats, sheep, chickens and pigs.. So, our puppies are more social than the norm because of the enviornment in which they are raised.

 

 

Speaking of socialization, I have begun bringing the puppies to my home to help them socialize even more. Our house is always filled with teenagers, who love to, cuddle, and play with our puppies.. This helps the puppies to overcome seperation anxiety BEFORE they go to their new homes.

When they come to my house they begin to realize that there is a great new world awaiting them outside of the barn. I have a basket filled with every dog toy imaginable and they quickly realize that they are in my home to have fun. I have consulted with vets and have been told that this is a great idea.

I also bathe the puppies so that they do not smell like the barn when they come to you. I got the hint after some of my customers commented on how much they" loved the smell" of the barn on our puppies

IWhen the puppies come to my house, they also get a jumpstart on potty training, to make your job a little easier. I must say though, that these little fur babies are intuitively smart and learn very quickly. When they go to their new homes they are 90% potty trained.

Before my husband and I kiss our puppies goodbye, we take our little pooches to one of our Cornell trained vets. They come with a certificate of health from our vets ensuring that our customers are getting "a wonderful healthy canine specimen."

I truly love this work. I am by nature a people person. It is also true that I am an animal lover. So, it gives me an opportunity to meet many wonderful families and help them find the perfect puppies to suit their life syles. I derive a great sense of satisfaction from helping our puppies find wonderful homes.

By the way, our puppies far outshine pet shop puppies when it comes to health and general appearance. That is because our puppies get plenty of good food, exercise, fresh air and goats milk as a supplement. The breeders that I work with never have a skinny undernourished dog.

 

 

 

I do carefully screeen potential customers to ensure that our puppies are going to very loving, responsible homes.

 I am always here for you and am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Your calls and e-mails are always welcome.

After you purchase one of our puppies, I  will periodically check on the progress your puppy is making. I get very emotionally involved and attached to the puppies. It is very exciting to be a part of the entire process of unitng puppies with people and I love to hear from our puggle families, So, please send me e-mails, photos, updates and Christmas cards. I hope to hear from you for years to come.

If you cannot come to  pick up your puppy, I will do my best to arrange to have your puppy lovingly delivered to your home.
