Anna was born Dec. 20, 2001 - sired by Bev's Bugsy Malone and Bev's Love Bug. So Anna came by her name partly from Paula's mom, JoAnne, and pug mom, Love Bug.

Anna is originally from the Seattle area and moved to Kansas in 2007 so mom, Paula, could be nearer to relatives.

Anna is a girl on the go -she loves to run and play with other pugs, going on walks, and loves crawling into laundry fresh and warm from the dryer!

And her absolute favorite snack is chicken jerky!

Dislikes include lightening and thunder - which Paula says has been an adjustment since moving to Kansas.

Paula says Anna adores her pet sitter, Pat Ramm, of Grand Paws Pet Sitting Service. Pat visits, walks, and cuddles with Anna while Paula is at work.

Paula also tells us that Anna accompanies her to visit Paula's mom at the assisted living facility. Anna brings a smile, warmth, and puggy kisses to many residents there!

A note from PugSpeak: We had the pleasure of having Anna at our last Pug Parliament gathering last year. Anna is a joy and delight and we are proud to have Anna as May Pug of the Month! Thank you, Paula, for providing photos and sharing her story!

Back in 2001, we imported Am Ch Bowtie´s Oh No Mr Bill Live! from Pat Hicks of North Carolina and Bill´s first litter here was with our beloved Nabuco´s Betty Boop, the best girl in our kennel!

Unfortunately Betty passed away in the c-section. It was a nightmare! I could not believe it was happening!! Victor was the only boy among the 3 puppies born.

Our dear bitch Vivi, took care of the puppies for us. Vivi was still pregnant, but nursed Victor and her sisters.

Since the beginning Victor was a stunning puppy and had a special love for me. We have many pugs at home, and most of them belong to all people in the house. But Victor belongs to me, or may be I belong to him!

He has been to shows as a junior ( he is junior champion ) , but we stopped going to shows since 2002. Victor knows he is special for many ways! He is a wonderful stud dog, producing so many champions in his 6 years, among them the pug #2 in Brasil in 2007 and Multi BIS Brasilian Ch, Uruguai Ch Nabuco´s Ana Livia. Another daughter of Victor who made a lot of success is Multi BIS Nabuco´s Tequila, the puppy #1 in Mexico in 2007.

Victor is the boss in our house for all the pugs. His pictures can tell about his personality, and how spoiled he is!!! He knows how important he is for me, the best souvenir Betty Boop could leave to us before passing the rainbow bridge. He is my beloved boy!!!

A note from PugSpeak: Angela, thank you for sharing Victor's story. We are so happy to have this dear pug boy as PugSpeak's March Pug of the Month!

And even more news - due to high demand, we've just gotten in an order of Pug Purse #25 - the largest of the three pink quilted pug bags! This bag measures 16" X 12.5" (40.64 X 31.75 cm).

We first fell in love with the breed and decided to have our first pug after we met "Petit Louis," an adorable fawn boy who lived with an English couple in the Poitou region of France.

We met contacts everywhere in England as we wanted a pug with the English Type. We found out it wasn't easy and that patience was the key word to be part of the pug family as they were very few good litters and the new owners chosen very carefully!

Our patience was rewarded when we had the chance to have our little "Lucie": Donymoor Lucky in Love from Johna and Norma Knox in Spain and former famous boxer breeders. So we took the plane from Paris to Alicante and found our tiny little Lucie waiting for us and took her back in France. Lucie is now part of our life in Switzerland were we give her all our love. She is a typical English type pug - very short from Marbelton, Poosbury and Hatella Bloodlines.

We show her quite a lot throughout Europe and she really seems to enjoy it! Her next show is in Milan.We really can't say enough how much this is a wonderful, beautiful and loving breed!

Sissi (or Alaunt carlin si´sirkka) was born on February 22, 2004 and makes her home with mom, Kirsi and big sister, Meri in Hamina, Finland.

Kirsi tells us that Sissi is a happy little pug. She enjoys cuddling with mom and watching TV - especially the Animal shows.

Sissi loves to eat and enjoys romping with pug sister Stella. And after a long hard day of pug hijinks, Sissi falls into bed with mom for a good night's sleep.

A note from PugSpeak: Thank you Kirsi! We love having Sissi to start off the New Year! And have a wonderful birthday, Sissi!

Mein Name ist Raphael

geboren am: 11.09.2005

Meine Züchterin ist Silvia D`Elicio, St. Germanshof in Deutschland

Mein Nachname ist Pugs`n RosesHier könnt ihr den Kennel anschauen: http://www.pugsnroses.de

So beschreibt mich mein Frauchen:

Pugs`n Roses Raphael ist ein aufgeweckter kleiner Mopsrüde. Immer zu einem Streich aufgelegt. Seine Lieblingsbeschäftigung ist "Fressen". Gleich danach kommt dann seine Freundin, und nunmehr auch Ehefrau, "Pugs`n Roses Luna di Pietra". Aus ihrer beidseitigen Liebe sind 2 Kinder entstanden. Seit dem 13. Juli 2007 gibt es nun auch Pugs`n Roses Vitali und Pugs`n Roses Vanilla Sky. Sie stehen in der Schönheit ihrer Eltern nicht hinten an.Raphael ist auch schon berühmt. Er wurde für ein Hundebuch, das in Frankreich erschienen ist, fotografiert und veröffentlicht.Nicht so sehr liebt er auf Ausstellungen zu gehen, das macht ihm keinen Spaß. Raphael wiegt 9,3 kg, was leider durch seine Lieblingsbeschäftigung, das Fressen, zustande gekommen ist. Dennoch ist er bei diesem Gewicht ein sportlicher, agiler Rüde, der auch sehr viele Muskeln hat.Er wird von allen Menschen geliebt, weil sein Wesen sehr liebevoll und zärtlich ist.

We love you, Trevor!
