Hi welcome to the home of Jessygaff Pugs & Griffons.
We are a small family home of Black & Fawn Pugs and Black & Red Rough Griffon's. All our little people are all kept as our loving house companions and enjoy unrestricted freedem and excercise. Their health, happiness and comfort taking priority over their showing and breeding activites. Our aim is for a lovable temperament, soundness and quality, and true pug type.
Puppies are very occasionally available to loving homes which are carefully vetted.
All our pugs are H.V clear.
Our boys are at limited stud only to approved girls which are H.V. Clear tested.

Q. What is our motivation for breeding Pugs / Griffon

A. For us it is a very worthwhile endeavour to try to produce wonderful quality puppies. The ultimate goal is to contribute better qualities to breed as a whole. We breed for ourselves FIRST, in the hopes that we can have a puppy to raise and show. Occasionally we will have puppies available to approved homes, which have been carefully vetted.

Q. How would someone interested in a puppy from us?

A. First thing they would need to do is have patience. We do not breed 6 - 7 litters a year! It always amazes me that people think if you breed that means, you have puppies available ALL the time. This is not the case. If we are lucky and we plan a litter we may have 1 litter or maybe 2 litters per year, and this is not every year.

Q. Meeting us
A. We prefer to meet potential owners and encourage them to come and visit. We want to make sure that they understand the commitment and responsibility of owning a pug or griffon.

Q. Is there money to be made in breeding?

A. LOL! We always laugh at this one. Actually, one would think so when the price range of a puppy is higher then most breeds, depending on the breeder. However, I think what most people do not understand when gasping at the price of a nice puppy is that there is a lot involved in producing that litter. More goes into it than just taking a dog A and dog B and breeding them. Show breeders spend a lot of money on the dog itself, the cost to show this dog (entry fees, hotels, and gas, equitment, professional handler fees etc, to its championship. Then you have the cost of actually breeding which can involve numerous things such as, stud fee, artificial insemination, Health testing, C sections ( if needed) rearing of the puppies, dew claws removed, vet health checks, vaccinations, worming, registrations, pedigrees, DNA test, etc, the list goes on. So by the time it has all said and done you usually only gain a puppy to keep for yourself to show and reimbursement for the above cost involved. If you are lucky, you will have a little extra for the expenses to show that puppy you kept. Unfortunately, there are breeders that do make quite a bit of money from breeding, they are backyard breeders. These type breeders ( with puppy mills being the worse of two evils, breed their dogs every season, over and over again with no regard to the health and welfare of the dog, money is the motivation in these cases. Not to mention the horrible confined and sometimes unsanitary or sickly lives these dog lead.

Q. Do we take our dogs back?

If you mean as boarding, no sorry we do not, we only take our own breeding.

We do occasionally offer a selective stud service to approved bitches. We first, so the use of our stud dogs is limited to approved situations. We do not want to see many of our puppies bred from our dogs, in wrong situations.

Q. Are our puppies guaranteed.

A. ABSOLUTELY All our puppies come with a vets health cert, before they leave, fully vaccinated, insured for 6 weeks, DNA Tested. We do the best we can when choosing to do a breeding and after both sire and dam are deemed healthy and free from known problems we go forward.

Unfortunately, there are times when Mother Nature can throw in a curve ball unexpectedly. Luckily, this has not happened in our breeding, through better understanding of genetics and only breeding sound & Pugs & griffons the number of incidents can be reduced, one is always learning, as we are still.
