4 LITTERS DUE - PUPPIES AVAILABLE NOW!

At Beez Kneez Pugs, we are a small boutique breeder focused on raising exceptional, healthy pugs—not producing large numbers of puppies.

Rather than operating a traditional waitlist, we invite families who are genuinely ready to welcome a pug into their home to complete our Puppy Application Form and contact us when the time is right.

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure a Beez Kneez pug puppy.

Our puppies leave for their new homes at 8 weeks of age, having received a full veterinary health check, their first vaccination, and the very best start in life.

 

A Pug Is For Life

Pugs are affectionate, intelligent and full of personality, but they also require commitment, care and companionship. Please take the time to research this wonderful breed before enquiring to ensure a pug is the right fit for your family and lifestyle.

All Beez Kneez breeding dogs are health tested for DM, PKD, PDE and BOAS.

We are currently taking deposits for our newest litter of pug puppies. $3,200 per puppy ($500 non-refundable deposit).

TESTIMONIAL

"Hello Karen, Today is Jeffrey's 8th birthday. He is doing so well healthwise. We have never had any problems with him. He has turned into a bit of a silver fox with the grey hair, but we all think he looks quite dapper with it! He still sleeps on my son's bed after all these years, and he is the most snuggly and bossy little dog ever! We love him to the moon and back. Fiona. (Taupo)"

ABOUT BEEZ KNEEZ PUGS

Founded in 2012 Beez Kneez Pugs are situated in beautiful Ramarama just 25 -30 minutes from the CBD of Auckland. I am an experienced breeder of pug dogs and cavalier King Charles dogs.

As a small kennel owner, I am very proud of my pugs who have presented well at shows and through close association with other pug breeders, the NZ Kennel club as am a registered member, and my local vet we ensure best practices are applied and extensive testing of their genetics over 8 yrs of my time to remove (PDE)Pug Dog Encephalitis, (PLL) Primary Lens Luxation, PK Deficiency an inherited metabolic disease which affects glycogen for energy resulting in damaged red blood cells,(DM) Degenerative Myelopathy a chronic disease affecting the dogs spine. I have rigorously tested through American Genetics for 8 yrs to remove these genetic disorders completely from my breeding mums and dads to ensure full health of my new puppies. Other common illnesses can be managed via good vet attention and a good diet which if kept simple means a healthy pug dog.

All of my Pugs live as members of the family on rural acreage with company of other animals. I breed Pugs strictly as pets to go to loving homes here in Auckland and throughout NZ and am in constant contact with the owners of my pugs to follow their life journey with their new owners.

    I just wanted to give you a quick update. We named our boy Boss (or as the 2 year old calls him “Boss Dog”) He’s the best. So cute. We’ve had 4 people stop us to take his picture when we’ve been out walking. He definitely attracts attention! We all just love him. I also wanted to say thank you for choosing us. We feel so lucky. He’s just a joy. We’ve been doing Mark Vette’s online course because of lockdown. So many people are having lots of issues with their puppies that we just don’t have. I really feel like that is because of the care you took with him before he came to our home. He was ready to go and learn our ways! Thank you so much

    We purchased our pug Cholula from Karen in March 2020. Well worth the lockdown wait! She’s such a honey and with a sweet, funny, energetic, smart, entertaining character. We have so many compliments on her fine pedigree looks from people who know pugs! She’s fit and strong and an absolute pleasure.

My mum and dad are on their way as I text. A big day for us all. Thank you so much. Her mum and dad are very clever and you are amazing. We have the paper work and are ready for her to arrive.

ENQUIRE ABOUT OUR PUGS

Frequently Asked Questions

The pug is a breed of dog with physically distinctive features of a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail. The breed has a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colours, most often fawn or black, and a compact square body with well-developed muscles.

1What is the origin of the Pug?
The Pug is considered an Oriental breed with ancestral ties to the Pekingese and perhaps the Shih Tzu. There is no clear date of introduction of the Pug and many people disagree due to the lack of records available.
2Is there a difference between Fawn and Black Pugs?
Aside from the color, there is no difference between the two. On average, Pugs live about 12 years, but they’ve been known to live well beyond their average life span with proper care, nutrition and of course some good luck.
3What life expectancy do Pugs have?
On average, Pugs live about 12 years, but they’ve been known to live well beyond their average life span with proper care, nutrition and of course some good luck.
4Are Pugs easy to train?
Pugs are moderately easy to train, making them neither easy to train, nor difficult. They maintain a stubborn streak, which can present occasional problem. Fortunately though, a Pug is a people dog that is eager to please and receive attention…And they’re lovers of all things edible with the possible exception of lettuce and thus can be bribed to do what you want them to do rather easily.
5Are Pugs good with children?
Pugs are among the most gentle and passive breeds of all dog breeds. They will tolerate the prodding of a child, are not known to nip or bite and are quite protective of the family and home.
6Do Pugs bark a lot?
Not usually. Pugs are generally very quiet dogs, though they can be taught to bark and make lots of noise. To answer a related question, the Pug’s bark is not yappy or shrill like the bark of some other small dogs.
7Do Pugs shed a lot?
Most Pugs have a double coat of fur where the undercoat constantly grows and pushes the overcoat out. This, coupled with their being indoor dogs that don’t shed based on the season makes for a whole lot of shedding going on!
8Are Pugs active dogs?
Generally, Pugs are not considered to be active dogs. There are some exceptions however. Pugs spend a good part of their day, approximately 14 hours worth, sleeping. They do have bursts of activity throughout the course of the day, but they are short and usually end with the Pug retreating for a nice little nap.
9Do Pugs require any special grooming and care?
Pugs need regular cleaning of their facial folds, constant nail clipping and have a problem coping with high heat that can threaten both their short and long term health.
10What is the temperament/personality of Pugs?

Despite their petite stature, pugs are full of personality. They are most well known for their short snout, curly tail, large head, and protruding eyes. Unlike many dog breeds, Pugs were not bred to perform a task. They are not hunters, guard dogs, or retrievers; instead, they are companion dogs

Personality-wise, Pugs are happy and affectionate, loyal and charming, playful and mischievous. They are very intelligent, however, they can be willful, which makes training challenging. While Pugs can be good watchdogs, they aren't inclined to be "yappy," something your neighbors will appreciate.

11What health issues commonly affect pugs?
Like all pure bred dogs, pugs have some health issues that may crop up and they are often expensive health issues. ... Pugs are prone to issues specific to brachycephalic (flat faced) breeds (breathing, eyes, folds of skin) and are prone to issues of the toy breeds generally (luxating patella, dental problems, trachea).
12Can Pugs be left alone?
Pugs will do fine if you leave them at home while you go to work. Just make sure that you're not leaving them for more than 8-10 hours without having someone check in on them. It may be hard at first to get them into the routine of being left alone.
13Do Pugs suit active owners?
If you are then do not get a Pug. ... Your Pug will love going outside and run around, but he will have a hard time keeping up with you. Eventually he will either get too tired or too hot and will need to be carried. One reason for this is because Pugs get hot very fast and can't cool themselves down.
