At Talbot Trail we strive to breed Pugs that meet the Canadian standard in every respect. We breed primarily for show but realize that most puppies will find homes as pets. As temperament is the key to a perfect pet we are as concerned with that as with good conformation, luckily that's easy with Pugs. All our dogs live in the house as pets first, show dogs second and lastly breeding stock. We breed only occasionally when we wish to add a new dog to the kennel.

We got our first Pug in 2002 when our daughter decided she wanted a Pug after her Papillon died at 11 years of age. We found a black Pug to foster and after two weeks we were "Pugged". When Ebony went back to the breeder for a litter we decided to purchase a puppy as a show dog. We had previously been Bloodhound exhibitors so were not new to the dog show scene and were anxious to try our hand with our new breed.

We are members of the Canadian Kennel Club and the Pug Dog Club of Ontario. Most of our dogs are shown to their Canadian championships.
