Why Albany started breeding
My mom bred and raised pugs for about 40 years and I fell in love with the breed at a young age. At the age of 11 I fell in love with a different breed the Labrador Retriever. I got my first Labrador at 19 and have been hooked ever since and believe in betterment and improvement of the breeds.
