Q. & A. with Yolanda
Why did you start breeding?
Began learning reproductive science as a child with my AKC Pekingese pet. As an adult, I bred AKC West Highland Terriers from 1976-1980s as avocation, when I retired 1990 to 2015 I bred Champion Pedigrees Pekingese. I got AKC Pug pets in 2018 and they became my breed of choice. In 2019 I decided to start Pug Place Phoenix and began breeding my pet AKC Pugs continuing that endeavor until today.What makes your program special?
Adoptors can see and monitor puppy development daily via photos and videos from birth to 8 weeks old via Facebook page Pug Place Phoenix.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Program update on 17 Feb. •…Summer in Phoenix is 115+ hot and concrete can burn Pugs feet. I put 3 polypropylene rugs 8x10 over my driveway securely fenced area I use for my Pugs to exercise outdoors and they potty on faux grass I have installed for them. The new rugs are bold and multicolored. They are very jazzy upbeat, in textures my Pugs and puppies will enjoy. It hoses clean with water and invigorates me when I am working outdoors. This is a happy home diy improvement to please my Pugs and myself. After ordering online and it was delivered yesterday. Only took about 2 hours to cover the curved driveway concrete and rearrange things there.

Finding a new member for your family is a daunting process. Once we identified our little girl, Yolanda was extremely helpful. Yolanda was always available to answer any questions we had. She provided videos of our new adorable puppy and regular progress reports. Her expert knowledge on all things puppy was amazing! Highly recommend her and her organization.
