Who We Are

We are a group of individuals, residing primarily in the Atlanta area and individuals from the surrounding states who own, breed, exhibit, train and LOVE  PUGS!  Our membership consists of  breeders, exhibitors and interested owners of this wonderful breed. The Club was formed in 1979.  Upon completion of Sanctioned Matches and other requirements of the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB, we were approved to hold AKC  licensed Specialty Shows. Our first Specialty Show & Sweepstakes was held on October 26, 1984.  Over the years the dates and location of our Specialty has changed.  Currently, we hold our Show concurrent with the Conyers Kennel Club in February.

Mission Statement

  • To do all in our power to promote, advance and protect the Pug breed through Health, Education, and Rescue
  • Encourage selective breeding which uses the AKC Standard as the standard of excellence by which Pugs will be bred and judged
  • To conduct licensed Specialty shows under the rules of the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB
  • To encourage members in sportsmanlike competition at dog shows and other Companion Events
  • To educate the community regarding pure bred Pugs and assist members of our community and the surrounding area in obtaining a pure bred pug through Breeder Referral
