Our names are Janet and Stig and we live in a small cottage (see pictures here: 1 2 3) in the forest of Småland (in Sweden). We both grew up with dogs. So when we moved together, it was natural for us to get a dog. In the 70's we became part of creating a dog club (Uppvidinge Hundklubb). And since then, in different periods, we've also been active on the board.

Stig has also been working in the club as an instructor and he competed in animal training with our New Foundland. He has for many years been very found of the Russian greyhound Borzoi and myself in St Bernhard. So it was natural for us to start with these two breeds and that's why we named our Kennel to Borzan's in 1988. In the same year we got our first little Pug dog in our home. He was from Norrköping and his name was Skrynklan's Labelle (Belle). This wrinkled little guy who totally turned our life upside down. Belle, who walked over the Rainbow Bridge May 14, 2001, at an age of 13. We all miss you so much and you are always in our hearts. Thanks for everything Belle.

We have 14 Pugs at our home, 9 males (5 fawn & 4 black) 5 females (2 fawn & 3 black) and we are co-owner of 2 black females. We also have a female Rottweiler called "Leia". We breed both fawn and black Pugs. Our Pugs are of course all over the house, in the sofa and in the beds, where it sometimes can be a little bit crowded. 

Our boys...

have two...

rooms for themselves...

and their own whip door so they can go in and out when ever
they want. The whip door is only closed when the night comes.

Outside they have two enclosed lawns.

We make heavy demands upon their health for the dogs we use in our breeding program:

• They must be able to walk at least 10 kilometres (1760 yards) every day, no matter what
  weather it is.
• They must be able to mate by themselves.
• Capable to give birth without problems.
• Both females and males must at least get one CC before we use them in our breeding
  program.

The meaning of our breed is first of all to have healthy pugs with muscular bodies and the second is to get a place in the showring. We think the Pug dog is a very healthy dog. We have, during all these years of breeding pugs, only got; 1 Demodexus puppy and 4 puppies born with one testicle and 1 puppy operated for Legg-Pérthes. None of the bitches has done a Caesarean section and only 1 old bitch has uterus (Pyometra) removed by an operation.
During 9 years, I was Vice President of The Swedish Pug Dog Club. I'm trying to take part of as many dog seminars as I can. I have been to courses in anatomy and judgement techniques. For two years I have been studying advanced medical care for dogs. It's very interesting to study, and there are always more to learn. I am also educated as a show ring secretary.
