I am located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in Summerland, BC. Pugs have been a part of my life since 2002 when after a great deal of research, I felt that it was a breed that I would be interested in raising. I wasn't disappointed and have been kept in stitches enjoying them ever since. I am retired and my Pugs are my family and as family members they live in my house, not in a kennel and not in crates. They have full access to my house, my yard and swimming pool when their life jackets are on.

I grew up breeding and showing horses in British Columbia and when a career choice transplanted me in Nova Scotia in 1983, I looked for another interest as fulfilling as my horses.

In 1984, I started breeding and showing German Shepherd Dogs in conformation and obedience trials under the CKC registered name of Hyclass Kennels. After meeting Stephanie Crew of Shenstone Kennels of New Brunswick and trading a Shepherd puppy for a Standard Smooth Dachshund puppy, I became involved with raising and showing Standard Smooth Dachshunds as well. A breed that was much easier to get ready for a show in the winter than a shepherd.

I am a show exhibitor/breeder, and do a limited amount of breeding, trying to focus on the CKC approved Pug standard to produce healthy, sound temperament and correct conformation puppies. I try to breed for spring puppies so they can visit outdoors on nice days and can be ready for new families during the summer months when most people some have time off to be with them.

I am a member in good standing with the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) since 1984, the Pug Club of Canada, the Pug Club of Ontario, and the Skaha Kennel Club. All of my dogs are vet certified healthy every year, eyes certified clear with CERF and fed a premium quality food.

I encourage you to do your home work when looking for a new pet that will be with you for 12-15 years and buy from a reputable breeder. They are many puppy mills out there. You should know the lineage of your best friend to ensure health issues are not being bred into them. It is not a matter of getting the papers or not getting the papers. You should know where your dog came from and what the breeder has done to better the breed. Reputable breeders will not sell you a puppy with or without papers. It only costs $31.00 to register a puppy but they must prove extended lineage, not just show you the Sire and the Dam. Breeding is more than putting two dogs together and getting puppies.

Hyclass Pugs will not sell to brokers, puppy mills or persons believing in the breeding of designer dogs or dogs that differ from the recognized color standard of Fawn or Black. All of Hyclass Pug puppies are sold on a non breeding and a spay/neuter contract, unless otherwise agreed upon.

Please feel free to email me as I am always happy to talk about pugs or answer any questions you may have about this wonderful and comical breed.
