Our 1st pug Am CH. Boletini's Buzy Pug, CGC (dog) (AKA Shang Tu) arrived from Queensland, Australia in 2005.  Shang is retired from the confirmation ring and currently does us very proud with preformances in obedience trials.  Our little buddy practices with the group every saturday at St. Joseph's School in Hilo and shows about 4 times per year.  Shang took 1st place at his last show..  Every pug has to have a job in our home..Shang brings home the bacon, ribbons and prizes now in obedience.  As always we are very appreciative our our friends Graham and Margaret Burgess at Pugingham Palace in Mt. Perry, Queensland, AU for being indirectly responsible for Shang sharing our lives.  We also thank this couple for sharing their homes and lives with us on our recent trip down under!.  AND what a trip it was, we traveled around Australia going to dog shows with Margaret and Graham.  Terry even had the previledge of showing one of Margaret's pugs in 100 degree heat..Thats Australia for ya! Kept the dogs cool with ice and put ice in our hats to stay cool in the ring........what a wonderful memory filled trip..Thanks to Margaret and Graham!  Shang appears to be my "protector" and likes nothing better than to go to work with me and watch out after me under my desk.

WE LOVE AUSTRALIA IT APPEARS!

Our 2nd pug Am CH. Saxten Shackelton, CGC (dog)  (AKA Shackie) arrived in 2007 from the well known Saxten Kennel in Holbert, Tasmania which is also part of Australia.  Shackie is true to the breed standard with Sire AU. GR. Ch. Birsay Swift and Sure (AKA Roger). We appreciate the many hours of on line education Richard and Anne Costen of Saxten Kennel have provided to us.  This couple have been line breeding pugs for 25 years.  Saxten Kennel has racked up and impressive number of champions and BIS winners over the years. We have found that the long standing line bred feature in the Saxten pugs brings a lot to the breeding table.  Shackie received his title in 2009 as well as Group 1 placement at his last show.  We look forward to bringing Shackie out for more shows in 2010 as he is a winner AND fun to show.  By the way, Shackie derives his name from a famous English Explorer Lord Shackelton.  Lord Shackelton 1st explored Antartica at the beginning of the 19th century.  He and his crew became strained and landed in Tasmania (making an incredible story short).  As a pup Shackie was an "explorer" so Richard and Anne named him Shackelton. Shackie is my best buddy. Our pugs live in a pack and it appears that Shackie is the pack Alpha.  It is very interesting for me to watch pack behaviors.  Shackie watches out for all his "ladies". We all honor Shackie except Shang.  Shang and Bella seem to be their own pack at times. Then Bella seems to work between both packs.  Everybody loves Bella, doesn't matter what she does.

Our 3rd pug Am CH. Saxten Bonica, CGC (bitch) (AKA Bonnie) came to us in 2008 again from the Saxten Kennel.  Bonnie has a fantastic background including mum Ch. Saxten Nick Ov Time and Marbelton Swinging Kilt (IMP UK) amoung others.  Bonnie easily attained her American Championship title in a little over a year after arrival. Bonnie is the result of planned line breedings by the Saxten Kennel for which we are pleased.  This pug has an incredible golden coat.  You may see a couple good photo shots of this coat under her name on this website.    By the way...Bonnie came from a litter that where all named after old world Roses.  Bonica is a beautiful old world sweet smelling rose. Bonnie is my "soul Sista".  we talk with our eyes. Bonnie is also apparently a nurse.  Bonnie can spot a troubled painful spot on humans and gives it great interest and often licks the spot.  Bonnie can also find painful spots on the other pugs and licks them as well.  



Our 4th pug AM/CAN CH. Heroncrests Belagio T Shaolin M  (bitch) (AKA Bella) is 1 1/2 years old now having received her Canadian title at 8 months old.  Most recently in Hawaii Bella earned her American Championship in three shows with three 5  point majors.  Currently Bella is just 6 points from attaining her American GCH.   Bella is from Heroncrest Kennel in Ontario and is an exceptionally well put together bitch being very short backed.  Bella comes to us as a result of breeding between Am/Can CH. Tupelo P'Nash Razzle Dazzle M and Can CH. Heroncrest's Drama Queen.  Bella is now working on her American Grand Championship.  We are contemplating motherhood for 2011.

Bella's uncle is:  Am CH. Tupelo Showboat Tu China Tu (AKA Boo), Nr 1 pug/ Nr 3 toy in the U.S. for 2008. 
Grandsires are: Am CH. Tupelo Triple Crown, and Am/Can CH. Kildare's Lord Maximus Thrax (AKA Bosco). 

By the way...Bella was named after a casino in Las Vegas...the Bellagio.  True to her name she has been a very lucky girl.  Bella is also a fantastic cuddle doggy which I enjoy perhaps most of all!  

Our 5th pug AM CH. Shaolin's Lord Romulus Maximus Thrax   (dog) (AKA Vito) is also from Bonnie's litter this year. Vito has only been shown one weekend at the Hilo show and did extremely well. At the one show Vito earned 8 points (two 3 point majors) as well as Group 4 this weekend. Vito is a golden pug like his mom, square body, straight back and lovely big round head like his dad. One of the features about Vito that I like best is that his noseroll is not black which makes his facial features stunning also like his mom. please check out his recent photo's on this website. Vito is Co-Owned by Terry McCrary and Sarah Woodworth. Sarah will be showing Vito next spring. We currently are getting his Rabies titers completed in order to show him next year on the mainland. Vito is a stunning pup who received many many compliments and lots of head turning at the recent show. Vito lives with Sarah and her husband Kevin and has recently learned to swim like a champ and romps in the woods like a bird dog. What a puggy!

Our 6th pug Shaolin's Jade Dragon  (bitch) (AKA Jada) is only 8 months old right now.  Jada's mom is Bonnie and Sire is Bosco.  This little lady was my pick on the day she was born i think.  Jada has an incredible head , is very short backed and has great "attitude".  It will be interesting to see how she does in the show ring for 2011.  Jada is quite bossy and sassy with all who love her.  We all love Jada of course.  this girly is also a cuddle bear!   Jada just got two points at the Hilo Orchid Isle show which we are proud of. 

Our foundation dogs are 1st of all our beloved companions and secondly creating some incredible pups for the ring. We are proud of them all.
