Tricia and Ivan

Just an update — I know some of these names are hard to keep track of.

Tricia’s parents have several girls in the first generation of show pugs (for them)

Indy, Lucy, Lexy, Ipsy. They also have the younger Demi (black pug), Emerson (Black, non-show), Chrissy (Prematurely retired show pug), and Gonnie (Gizmo and Gadget’s brother)

Gizmo mated with one of the Dulittle Pugs in Holden, LA, and one of those pugs is Petunia.

Gadget has mated with 2 or 3 Dulittle Pugs, one of the boys is Titan, and another is Ivan. (There’s also Camille, Katrina, and Rita — I think). Ivan and Titan are notable because as puppies, they’re both really BIG and have thick bones, and are very square — which are good show pug qualities.

Gadget has also mated with Indy and Lexy. Some of those puppies are Spirit, Starry, and Snowy.

Gonnie accidentally mated with Ipsy, who just had puppies.

Also, to answer a question from the comments — pugs don’t need to have c-sections, necessarily. There is a problem with smaller dogs, though. If you have a small dog who has, say, 4 puppies, versus a dog who is having 2 puppies, the space inside is pretty much the same, and the gestation period is the same. What varies is the size of the puppy. If there are two puppies, they will grow bigger, if there are 4, they won’t grow as big while still in the womb.

So, the problem arises when you have a small dog, like a pug, having a small litter — two puppies. In that case, the puppies might be too big to be birthed naturally, and a c-section may be required.
