I just met this little sweetheart today and almost took him home ... but nervous not knowing about them. I did so much research about bullies before Chunk ... this throws a whole new breed into the mix!

Where did you find the pup? I haven't but [MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION] has a bully and pug and from what I have heard from her I think it may make a nice mix. Adorable pup, I'd take it in a heartbeat!

This is a cutie. I have a co-worker with an English/Frenchie mix and that combo is great. [MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION] does have both as well as [MENTION=1443]Emmitt E[/MENTION].

It isn't one of those "designer" breeds at a pet store is it? It is amazing on how the "designer" breeds are getting just as expensive as actual AKC bloodlines.

Yeah that is why I asked where you saw the pup because you just never want a pup from a pet store. They rarely come from a reputable breeder and yes over priced.

They are calling him a "designer breed" but they new I really wanted an EB so they gave me a very fair price. Plus my parent's got a dog at this place too ... they say they aren't a "pet store". It's called breeder's association of america and they give a full lifetime guarantee, etc. My parents got their mini doxi there and she is great. I just intended to go in and look thinking the prices would scare me off ... after two hours with this little guy I was thinking twice about leaving without him!!! :eek: I think I would prefer a purebred EB ... I just don't know! We really don't need a puppy right now but sometimes I think it would be good for the Chunkster!

That is one darling pup! I have never bought a pet store pet, but I have bought from a not too reputable breeder.... Mixed breeds are supposed to be healthier, and 2 dogs are better than 1!

[MENTION=1612]Alice Kable[/MENTION]. I've heard that about mixed breeds too and this place seems to be very good, all the pups smell so yummy and clean! After the good experience my parents had there, it's tempting!

Maybe I should post the videos too ...

He is adorable, I don't see much Pug though. God makes puppies so adorable so we can't not love them. I could never go visit him and leave him either. Good luck but let us know, we'll celebrate with you!!!!

When we were in the process of finding a bulldog we looked into both Mini's and Olde's. We really couldn't find enough info in the mini's or anyone at the time who had any.
We quickly ruled out Olde's because we wanted a smaller bully.
Then we found HRH and all searching came to an end. :luv:

[MENTION=1816]LauraB[/MENTION] I didn't think he looked much pug either. They also had a BostonBull (another "designer mix") who looked like ALL EB! In fact I noticed him when I was in the room playing with the lil mini bull dude. This is painful. See him in the middle with his paw on the glass? Awww

A couple videos for your viewing pleasure ... he's so fat he couldn't stay on his feet when he was running!

Cutty, Miila and Mugsy the pug :)
I agree i dont see pug in there either. No squishy face and the eyes arent pupping. lol. He is dang cute tho I have to say!!! If he is really a pug/eb mix then I would think it would be a great combination. My boys are very similar in how attached they are and they are both lap dogs for sure. My pug is more quirky than the bully but other than that in my case they are very similar. Maybe I am wrong but arent pugs bred into bulldogs way back to make them what they are today anyhow? Seems to me I remember reading that but I could be wrong.

[MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION]. Thanks so much for the info! I'm not an "impulse buyer" so I guess that's where my concerns come from. Especially after having done so much research on bullies (my husband has wanted one since he was about 4 years old, so we've been researching them since we got together in preparation for when we would have one!), I want to be sure I know all about pugs too so I can give them the best care. :)

I'm betting that this little sweetie will probably be gone when/if we go back today. This place is SO BUSY it's insane how fast pups are gone there. Hmmm. Guess we will see. I'm also nervous about how Chunk will feel with a little friend ... and all the training with a puppy ... eek! Plus Chunk isn't neutered sooo that could create issues too. Decisions, decisions.:confused:
