Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Hoopla Pugs located in Hartsville, SC. We have been showing and breeding Golden Retrievers for 45 years and breeding and showing Pugs for 35 years. Our Dogs are well known for their pedigrees and many champions behind them. Which means there are many generations of quality and soundness. We do many clearances and have for years. Our dogs are always vet-checked and guaranteed.

Cindy’s experience

  • About Cindy

    We love our dogs and take the best care of them possible. We do not have kennels and only put them away in crates at night to eat. We feed Pro Plan. They get vitamins and raw chicken occasionally. When we go to dog shows, everybody comes with us.

  • What makes Cindy’s program special

    I have a very good eye for conformation. Good rears, good fronts, top lines, movement and most of all heads, correct heads, not to mention coat, bone, pigment and soft sweet expression.
