Arrival Story:
I had wanted a pug forever and in '03 decided the time had finally come. I didn't have any luck finding pups locally, so I scanned the web and found a breeder in Harpursville, NY - way up in "god's country" in rural Chenango county. I had a deposit down on the little tike before he was even in utero. Hard to believe that that four pound dumpling is now a whopping thirty pound pork pie. Pug owners have told me that two is easier than one because they perpetually entertain each other. I eventually want to add a brother or sister, but am waiting for more space.

Bio:
Fergus: from the Gaelic, derived from fear "man" and gus "strength" and signifies "a strong warrior, virile." Official AKC name: Fergus II. Mother: Missy Miss, Father: Bruno the Mighty. From of a litter of 5; 2 boys and three girls. I wanted a boy, and chose him because he was billed as "the kissy one"
