Our 1st pug Am CH. Boletini's Buzy Pug, CGC (male) (AKA Shang Tu) arrived from Queensland, Australia in 2005.  Shang is retired from the confirmation ring and currently does us very proud with preformances in obedience trials.  Our little buddy practices with the group every saturday at St. Joseph's School in Hilo and shows about 4 times per year.  Shang took 1st place at his last show..  Every pug has to have a job in our home..Shang brings home the bacon, ribbons and prizes now in obedience.  As always we are very appreciative our our friends Graham and Margaret Burgess at Pugingham Palace in Mt. Perry, Queensland, AU for being indirectly responsible for Shang sharing our lives.  We also thank this couple for sharing their homes and lives with us on our recent trip down under!.  AND what a trip it was, we traveled around Australia going to dog shows with Margaret and Graham.  Terry even had the previledge of showing one of Margaret's pugs in 100 degree heat..Thats Australia for ya! Kept the dogs cool with ice and put ice in our hats to stay cool in the ring........what a wonderful memory filled trip..Thanks to Margaret and Graham!

WE LOVE AUSTRALIA IT APPEARS!

Our 2nd pug Am CH. Saxten Shackelton, CGC (male)  (AKA Shackie) arrived in 2007 from the well known Saxten Kennel in Holbert, Tasmania which is also part of Australia.  Shackie is true to the breed standard with Sire AU. GR. Ch. Birsay Swift and Sure (AKA Roger). We appreciate the many hours of on line education Richard and Anne Costen of Saxten Kennel have provided to us.  This couple have been line breeding pugs for 25 years.  Saxten Kennel has racked up and impressive number of champions and BIS winners over the years. We have found that the long standing line bred feature in the Saxten pugs brings a lot to the breeding table.  Shackie received his title in 2009 as well as Group 1 placement at his last show.  We look forward to bringing Shackie out for more shows in 2010 as he is a winner AND fun to show.  By the way, Shackie derives his name from a famous English Explorer Lord Shackelton.  Lord Shackelton 1st explored Antartica at the beginning of the 19th century.  He and his crew became strained and landed in Tasmania (making an incredible story short).  As a pup Shackie was an "explorer" so Richard and Anne named him Shackelton.

Our 3rd pug Am CH. Saxten Bonica, CGC (bitch) (AKA Bonnie) came to us in 2008 again from the Saxten Kennel.  Bonnie has a fantastic background including mum Ch. Saxten Nick Ov Time and Marbelton Swinging Kilt (IMP UK) amoung others.  Bonnie easily attained her American Championship title in a little over a year after arrival. Bonnie is the result of planned line breedings by the Saxten Kennel for which we are pleased.  Bonnie has produced some incredible pups with Bosco recently.  By the way...Bonnie came from a litter that where all named after old world Roses.  Bonica is a beautiful old world sweet smelling rose.

WE LOVE CANADA IT APPEARS!

Our 4th pug Can CH. Heroncrests Belagio T Shaolin M (AKA Bella) is 1 1/2 years old now having received her Canadian title at 8 months old.  Bella is from Heroncrest Kennel in Ontario and is an exceptionally well put together bitch.  Bella comes to us as a result of breeding between Am/Can CH. Tupelo P'Nash Razzle Dazzle M and Can CH. Heroncrest's Drama Queen. 
Bella's uncle is:  Am CH. Tupelo Showboat Tu China Tu (AKA Boo), Nr 1 pug/ Nr 3 toy in the U.S. for 2008. 
Grandsires are: Am CH. Tupelo Triple Crown, and Am/Can CH. Kildare's Lord Maximus Thrax (AKA Bosco).  By the way...Bella was named after a casino in Las Vegas...the Bellagio.  True to her name she has been a very lucky girl.  Bella begins her American show career in Hawaii this fall. 
SO AS YOU CAN SEE....CANADA PLEASE MEET TASMANIA!          TASMANIA PLEASE MEET CANADA!
