I'm the breeder behind Rachael Kruse located in Ellsworth, KS. I am a very small breeder, only one to two litters of Pugs each year. All puppies are raised in my home and the adults are spoiled rotten and travel to horse shows all over the country with me. I strive to provide beautiful Pug puppies to the best homes possible.
About Rachael
I’m an avid horse breeder and exhibitor. My Pugs travel all over the country with me as I show horses.
What makes Rachael’s program special
My breeding dogs live in my home with me. By keeping my program small, I am able to retain all my Pugs for life. They are my best friends!

I had a wonderful experience adopting my sweet pug, Doug the Pug, who is now Bug the Pug! Rachael was very easy to work with and I felt very confident adopting Bug from her, especially after meeting...
