2012
We are currently taking reservations for pups to be born in 2012. We hope to have 2 litters in 2012. All litters will be Champion bred.
All of our pugs regardless of age come to you with a health garantee, updated shots, microchip and AKC registration.
Three options available at Shaoln in attaining a pup:
*Please don't call or e-mail for a price quote. Our pups of all qualities are reasonably priced but quotations are not discussed until we get to know you. We hope you will understand.
1. Pet Quality Pups 
These are pups while exceptional do not meet our breeding/show standards. These pups are all
sold on spay/neuter contract, and AKC limited registration. These pups can leave their mother and litter mates at 12 weeks of age. We do not ship our precious pups and require Big Island pickup of any pup. This is actually a good thing!
2. Show Potential Pups 
These pups are purchased by "show home" families. Dog fanciers that are serious exhibitors
within the show world and ring. These pups can also leave their mum at 12 weeks. However pups to be shipped internationally
can be shipped at such point that we feel they are physically and emotionally capable to take the trip with the least stress. International
requests for our pups would be accepted after requirements met and discussion with references.
3. Foster Home Pups 
These pups are not sold, and have the prospect of show potential. Rather appropriate homes are
found for our pups as a "forever Foster Home". We live in a regular family household without kenneled dogs. Our pugs
live in our home. We prefer to have some loving foster family for some of our present/futrue potential show pugs.
After all we only have so much room on the couch for the pugs. Commonly show folks are given the best
prospects (puppies) kept back to develop and train to see if they will eventually fit into the breeding program and show ring.
The way our program works is: I place my "pick of the litter" pups in approved foster homes. The pug lives in
these homes for their entire lives. The dog/bitch would occasionally come back to us for a short time so we can
compete with them in shows to gain their AKC title. In addition the bitches would come back to us to be bred
to only approved males, and have puppies; only if she is chosen for our breeding program. We utilize this program
because it is our fervent belief that a pug best lives up to their full potential when given the appropriate amount
of personal space, attention, love, and care. Interested families can e-mail me with their information and questions.
This program is not for everyone. The first pre-requisite is that the family must live either on the Big Island or on Oahu.

Thank You
