I'm the breeder behind Trailblazer located in Baltimore, MD. My goal is to produce Pugs that are healthy, friendly, well-socialized pets. I want to place them in the best home possible. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. Having a Pug in your life makes life so much better! Anyone with a Pug would agree!
About Jana
I have been involved with dog rescue, training, and breeding for over 20 years. My primary breed is Collies. I fostered about two dozen Collies and many Collie mixes, especially those with special needs. I also helped rescues by pulling, evaluating, and transporting dogs. My dogs have competed in obedience, agility, and rally.
What makes Jana’s program special
With my Pugs, I want to focus on dogs who are healthy and sound in a way that many pugs are not. I seek out dogs that are well built, with a longer muzzle so they can breathe freely. So far, my dogs have been AKC and ACA registered, but I am not opposed to outcrossing with another breed. I use Puppy Culture to give my little ones the best start in life.

Jana has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Jana may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Jana offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Jana directly.
I use Puppy Culture early stimulation before the puppies' eyes are even open. They are handled on a daily basis. The puppy pen is kept in the kitchen/living room area. When the puppies are mobile, they are introduced to my other pets in a safe, gentle way. I start taking them for car rides at a few weeks of age. They meet my nieces and nephews, parents, and friends. I give them exposure to the outdoors. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture , Socialized with Children, Car Rides, and Outdoors, e.g. rain.
Each puppy is dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. They are vaccinated at 8 weeks with a combination shot (DHPPC). Each puppy is microchipped with AKC Reunite, which gives pet owners lifetime prepaid registration.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Trailblazer hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Jana offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Jana started breeding
My first litter was in 2006. I spent years learning all I could about my breed, genetics, and puppy socialization techniques. By that time, my dog had had all of her health testing completed and earned a few titles. She had an amazing temperament.
