I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

Well done Gracie!
That seems a lot of puppies for a small dog, no wonder she looked so huge. Is that a normal number for pugs?
-
Its not unheard of, but its certainly a large litter for a pug. Generally they will have 3-4 in a litter. Just keeping fingers crossed they all pull through as the first few days are such a worry with pugs. They are all very active (and vocal!!) and all feeding well so a good start at least.

Congrrrrrrrats!!!!!!!!!!
-
woooowwww congrats !!! and a natural birth too!! fantastic!! it really is a big litter for a pug!
but she didnt wait hey?
-
Well a huge congrats to Gracie and you. They are so adorable, and yes quite a few for sich a small dog..She must have done outstanding. I am sorry you missed it.
Thank you for sharing pictures so soon.. -
Thanks all!
Im not sorry i missed it - far too messy and traumatic lol!!
She certainly didnt wait. Yesterday evening when i left there were no signs of imminent birth at all. I guess she just got sick of carrying the little monsters around
-
I cant blame her, when you got the same temperatures over there as we have at the moment in the Netherlands
-
Awww….so cute! Congrats! So the dam lives at your mom's, or just whelped there? I had no idea that a pug could even hold six puppies!!!
-
The temperature today is almost unbearable - it is SO hot. She is certainly happier not carrying all that extra weight around!!
Gracie has lived at my mums for nearly a year now. She and Delilah, my female pug, do not get on at all. They cant be in the same room without trying to kill each other!! Very sad as they were inseperable til Gracie was about 18 months.
-
Awww. The puppies are adorable! Glad to hear that Gracie had a nice delivery
-
