About Us

Mystic Pugs began in 1997 after much research and understanding of Pug breed. I bought Ch. CandyLand's Starburst "Buster" from Ohio. Buster had a dynamic personality and loved to show. After looking in many directions, I was fortunate to land Ch. Celestial Neu Star Attraction ROM "Emma" from California. Emma was an absolute doll and exactly what I wanted in a foundation bitch to start my line of Pugs. I decided to breed Emma to Ch. Mi-Luv's Persona Grata Sez Faz "Bud", and the Mystic Celestial SkyCraft Litter was born on December 17, 2001. Since that time, all 5 puppies have become champions from that litter. Two of those puppies ended up as Multiple Group Winners and Top Ten Pugs. On March 22, 2003 Emma was named the Northern California Pug Club's Dam of the Year.

In 2002, I joined partnership with Ruth Pereira of Donandru Kennels. She has bred National Specialty and BIS winners in Boxers and Brussels Griffons. She is beginning this same journey in Pugs. We look forward to many years of success.

My mother and I have owned Pugs for the last 16 years, and all of them were pet quality Pugs up until 1997 when I got into the showing aspect of Pugs. I have a true love for the Pugs, and consider them all part of my family. As a Pug breeder, I am a member of the Pug Dog Club of America (PDCA) and currently serve as the Recording Secretary. I have been in the PDCA Bulletin Editor since 2008 and currently serve as the PDCA Rescue Chair.

I also belong to the Bluegrass Pug Fanciers and am serving as the Corresponding Secretary and 2012 Show Chair. I am also a member of the Central Indiana Pug Club. I am an active member of the Evansville Kennel Club and serve as Secretary and Judges Selection Chair. As a member of the Morris and Essex Kennel CIub I serve on the Specialty/Supported Entries Committee for Toy and Non-Sporting Breeds.

I have completed the requirements to obtain my AKC Provisional Judges Licenses. I recently submitted all paperwork to the AKC for Pugs and Junior Showmanship. To date, I have judged Pug Sweepstakes at the Delaware Valley Pug Club, Northern California Pug Club, Spirit of St. Louis Pug Fanciers, Bluebonnet Pug Dog Club in 2008 and 2011. In 2010, I judged Sweepstakes during the PDCA National week for the Bluegrass Pug Fanciers and had an entry of 110. At the end of May, I will be flying to Boston, MA to judge the Patriot Pug Dog Club Sweepstakes and the Central Indiana Pug Club Sweepstakes in August.

The Pug is a truly wonderful breed that I am so fond of. They are vibrant and full of energy, yet they can be so sweet and calm. They are hard workers in the show ring and give you 100% of themselves. I look forward to many more productive years in the breed. Mystic Pugs is located in Evansville, Indiana on the Ohio River. I work full time as a Nurse Manager and teach as adjunct nursing faculty for both colleges in town. Please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail if you have any questions or comments. The best is yet to come!

Warmest Regards,
