THE PUGS OF SHAOLIN

You have to admit... We are crazy about our pugs!!! This little creature of wonder is: CH. Shaoln's Amen Halelujah, AKA: Lujah or sometimes we call her Lolly and sometimes we just call her "Lu-e-gee". Lujah's mom & dad is Sarah and Kevin.

"Elvira", 7 weeks old. This little lady is a Bella/Boo Daughter. Elvira was born a singleton and has been given great opportunities at a young age with socialization. Consequently, this little puppy behaves very maturely.

Meet our newest addition born 8-18-2012. This is Bella with her 1 month old Singleton baby girl Shaoln Heart's on Fire Elvira, AKA: Elvira. Gr. CH. Heroncrest's Bellagio T Shaoln M., AKA: Bella X Ch. Tupelo ShoBoat Tu China Tu, AKA: Boo. (See puppy page for more pic's as we take them).

GCH Shaolin's Lord Romulus Maximus Trax, aka "Vito". Vito is shown here with his owner, Trainer & Handler Sarah Woodworth. This is an amazing Photo of them both. Photo By Steve Kosvoc. Vito's mom is CH. Saxten Bonica who is our foundation bitch and my sister.

GCH Shaolin's Lord Romulus Maximus Thrax, aka "Vito". Hawaii's Ilio Magazine deemed Vito #1 Pug in Hawaii 2011.

Bella and her 2011 Babies This layout is scheduled to be in June 2012 Pug Talk Magazine. What delightful puggies all three of them. Many thanks go to Steve Kostov Photographer, Sarah and Kevin Woodworth for their love and homing of Lujah.

GCH & Can.CH Heroncrest Belagio T Shaolin M. aka "Bella". 2011 pups shown are (left) Shaoln's Amazing Grace, (pointed). and CH. Amen Hallelujah,CGC, aka "Lujah"

AM.CH. Boletini Bizzy Pug, CGC aka: Shang Tu, Shaolin's first male. Shown by: Pam Mizuno Hilo, Hawaii October 5, 2008 Shang boy is much loved and retired from the show ring as well as obedience trials due to a back injury. But this does not mean the ol boy can not take one on for a full romp through the house and yard.

AM CH.Saxten Shackelton, aka: Shackie. Shaolin's second male. Great expression, excellent confirmation and type. A proven male, and producer of an American Champion. Shackie has been used as the foundation male of Woodworth pugs. Like Bonnie, Shackie hails from Tasmania and Saxten Kennels. Hawaii's Ilio Magazine declared Shackie the top winning Pug in Hawaii for 2008. Shackie keeps all the ladies in the house in line. This gentleman is our alpha male. Shackie also has gone on to obedience trials and is a joy to work with. Shackie thinks I am a goddess which of course is not true but you wouldnt convence him of that!

AM CH. Saxten Bonica, CGC, aka: Bonnie. Shaolin's foundation bitch. From Saxten Kennels in Tasmania, a beautiful clear coated pug, square & straight backed with a beautiful head full of expression. Bonnie is also an excellent mom. We look forward to her final litter of pups in 2011. Hawaii's Ilio Magazine declared Bonnie as the top winning Pug in Hawaii for 2009. This puggy is loved like all my pugs but Bonnie is most special as she is my beloved sister. Bonnie takes great efforts to communicate and talk with me daily. Bonnie is also a most special mom when mothering her pups. She is an honor to love and care for.

Shaolin's Jade Dragon, CGC. aka: Jada. This beautiful girl is shown here at 19 months old. Her mom is Bonnie and full litter brother is Vito. Jada is shown sparingly as the show ring never was her thing. We honor that yet recognize her as a sweet beautiful girl. Still with that she is only a few points from her title. She does not like to fly for shows. Text book head! What a total cutie. I am blessed that she loves me so much.

AM. Gr. CH & CAN CH. Heroncrest Belagio T Shaolin M. aka: Bella. Shaolin's second bitch. Me and my Bella...girlfriends forever! Sire:AM/CAN CH. Tupelo P' Nash Razzle Dazzle M Dame:CAN CH.Heroncrest's Drama Queen Grand Sire's both sides: AM/CAN CH. Tupelo Triple Crown AM/CAN CH. Kildare's Lord Maximus Thrax *Hawaii's Ilio Magazine declared Miss Bella as the top winning Pug in Hawaii for 2010.

Shaolin's Jade Dragon aka: Jada. Shaolin's third bitch. Sire: AM/CAN CH. Kildare's Lord Maximus Thrax. Dame: AM/CAN CH. Saxten Bonica CGC Jada is 14 months old in this photo. Jada is playing with one of Bella's pups in this photo.

Vito and Shen just hanging out being boys..in the back of the truck! These are Bonnie/Bosco pups from 2010 litter.

The boys first Christmas.. Vito on the left and Shen or the right. They started out as pups looking totally different. Now we have a hard time telling them apart. Their mom is AM.Ch. Saxten Bonica and Sire is AM./Can. CH Kildare's Lord Maximus Thrax. Like their mom and dad they both have incredible expression with a lot of vivid facial detail. These are 9 month old pups.

The Pugs of Shaolin, who are we?
We are a small show kennel located in Hilo Hawaii. Foundation pugs making up our pack are all Champions and all imported. We are proud of all of them and their accomplishments. Each pug was selected for specific matching attributes long before arrival to our home and kennel.
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.
