Kennel SNOWPUG - Pugs in West Norway
"You haven`t live - before you have been living with a pug"
Kennel Snowpug - who are we?
Kennel SNOWPUG is a small pug-kennel (black- and fawn pugs) in West Norway and the Snowpug family consist of our belowing dogs, my son Tor-Gunnar (born 27. January 1993) and my self (Mona). We are living on Husnes, Kvinnherad County in Hordaland (halfaway between Bergen - Stavanger).
I received my officially breeding name Kennel Snowpug 16th. November 2005 and our first Snowpug litter was born 01. March 2007 after my breeding pugs: Pugbully Joan Baez ans Borzan`s Phantor Girls Favorite.
Why I choose Snowpug as a Kennel name: My birthplace is Tromsø in North-Norway and my hometown is Tennes in Balsfjord county. And when I applayed for my breeding name my choice wasn`t difficult, because I wanted to represent the place where I grew up and where I have my roots - therefore the name Snowpug.
My breeding intention is to take care of as good as possible the health to the breed (both psychially- and fysichally) and attend the breed standard in a good way. My breeding dogs are healthy and are good functionable pugs with people. My futurity hope is to breed pretty, healthy and happy pugs with nice and lovely temperament.
All the dogs in our family lives with us in our house, they are with us 24/7, short told, they have acsess to the hole house and they are all equal family-members!
Frome I was about four years old I have been very interested in the pugs. I had searched information about the breed in many years before I was getting my own pug. I was doing this because I wanted to now as much as possible about the breed, their health, temperament, sikness etc.
When I was coming to the point when I think I was ready to get my own pug I took contact with Janet and Stig Holm/Borzan`s kennel in Sweden. I was taking contact with them because they have the pugs I were looking fore. In November 2002 I was travelling to pick up my boy which I have been waiting fore so long - almost 2 years!!! When I saw - Borzan`s Phantor Girls Favourite "Oscar" for my first time I couldn`t do anything about cry - he was so sweet and I just loved him at the first sight. My dream was finally comming true!!
When I finally get my male I started the search after a female who would be suitable to "Oscar`s" pedigree. I get in touch with the fantastic breeder Heidi Fridtjosen/Pugbully Kennel in Trondheim, Norway - and in 2004 I get my first female - Pugbully Joan Baez "Sarah".
In the same year (2004) I imported a finnish lady to Norway, Troppola Dark Denise, from Monika Kevin/Kennel Troppola in Helsinki, Finland.
These two females together with my male Oscar are the main features in my breeding - and my main intention for the future is to build up under these bloodlines. Unfortunally we lost Sarah in a very complicated situation 24. June 2009 (actually on my birthday).
As many pug-owners say: "Have you already got one pug - you just have to get one more.." and this is so true!!!
I wish to thanks Janet and Stig Holm, breeder Borzan`s in Sweden for their amazing help, advice and comments. Frome the time I knew them - they have been there for me. I also wish to thanks Heidi Fridtjofsen, breeder Pugbully in You are all very important for me and you are amazing people who can very much about the breed, health and breeding. You have all learn me a lot!!
