About Us
Welcome to Mystic River Pugs
Formerly known as Shelnic’s Pugs | Established 2006
At Mystic River Pugs, we are a small, dedicated family with a deep commitment to the preservation, integrity, and betterment of the Pug breed. Our program is built on decades of hands on experience, careful study of the breed standard, and a genuine love for these remarkable dogs.
We are devoted to breeding Pugs of exceptional quality, with health, temperament, and correct structure as our highest priorities. All of our breeding dogs are thoroughly health tested in accordance with breed recommendations, including OFA evaluations, and we actively pursue CHIC certification. Health testing is never an afterthought. It is a cornerstone of responsible breeding and an essential part of protecting the future of the breed.
Our breeding decisions are made with purpose and intention, using proven bloodlines and thoughtful pairings aimed at producing sound, well balanced Pugs who can excel both in the conformation ring and as cherished companions. We breed first and foremost for ourselves, always striving to produce our next Champion while contributing positively to the breed as a whole.
Our dogs are an integral part of our family and daily lives. They are not simply show prospects or breeding dogs, but beloved companions who live in our home and are raised with care, enrichment, and individual attention. This same philosophy extends to every puppy we produce. Each puppy is thoughtfully raised, well socialized, and given a strong foundation for a confident, healthy life.
When you welcome a Mystic River Pug into your home, you become part of our extended family. We proudly offer lifelong support and remain a resource for our puppy families at every stage, whether you need guidance, reassurance, or simply want to share milestones along the way.
If you would like to learn more about our dogs, our breeding program, or future plans, we welcome your inquiries and look forward to connecting with you.
