Private NYS Hobby Pure Breed Pug, Great Pyrenees & Saint Bernard Breeder
American Homestead of the Original Ancient Chinese Purebred Pug Heritage Preservationists & The
Farmstead of Our European Gentle Giants

Walk The Line Pug Ranch (WTL) & Hard Rock Farm (HRF) are not a commercial kennel but a private family’s homestead and farmstead. Our dogs live in a healthy, enriched combined Human and dog family-oriented environment, receiving round-the-clock care, socialization, and love.

Our Family’s Commitment

At our private New York State hobby breeding homestead & farmstead, we are passionately dedicated to the preservation, health, and responsible breeding of three remarkable purebred dog breeds: the ancient Chinese Pug, the majestic Great Pyrenees, and the noble Saint Bernard.

  • Pugs, cherished for their playful and affectionate nature, thrive in our carefully maintained indoor setting.
  • Saint Bernards, renowned for their gentle temperament and protective instincts, are raised to embody strength, kindness, and loyalty.
  • Great Pyrenees, naturally skilled in guarding livestock and families alike, are bred with an emphasis on their ancient working dog heritage.

Whether indoors or on our safe, well-guarded farmstead grounds, our dogs enjoy proper nutrition, exercise, companionship, and top-tier veterinary care beyond routine checkups. Every pup is raised to fit seamlessly into a loving and prepared forever home.

We specialize in the Original Ancient Chinese Purebred Pug, with a mission to preserve and enhance this beloved breed’s heritage.

WTL has successfully applied our well-learned Ancient Chinese Pure Breed Pug Breeding Method, a practice that continuously improves desirable Pug genetics while eliminating the undesirable—resulting in healthier, sturdier Pugs of exemplary quality. Since the year “2000”, Our passionate, studies, practices, and achievements have exceled us into recognition as a responsible Quality Pure Breed Pug Breeder, Caretaker, Therapy Dog Trainer, and Pug Health Care & DNA Expert, while also maintaining the Ongoing Preservation and Enhancement of the Original Ancient Chinese Pure Breed Pug Heritage and the Original Pug Breed Standard…./

This we do, in order to provide a superior quality, healthier and more durable Pug Breed, for the fulfillment of adopting them as Companions into “Pug Loving” Family’s Homes, in order to induce the joyful atmosphere and loving companionship that each and every Pug inevitably brings into any responsible and deserving home…./ ….

Our Expanding Mission

Building on our expertise, WTL remains active in promoting Pure Breed White and Brindle Pugs, developed over 20 years of dedicated genetic study. As part of WTL’s continuous growth, HRF now proudly extends our commitment of responsible breeding and superior health care to Saint Bernard’s and Great Pyrenees, bred with equal dedication to preserving their historical lineage. These majestic breeds known for their intelligence, have their own unique temperament and strengths, making them ideal companions for families, therapy work, and even livestock protection in the case of Great Pyrenees. Just as WTL does with Pugs, HRF focuses on maintaining their original breed characteristics by selective breeding and dedicated health care practices, enhancing their genetics, and ensuring they remain the strong, well-tempered companions they were meant to be.

Pugs: Ancient Charm, Modern Companions

The Pug is an ancient breed originating in China around 400 B.C., where it was prized as a companion to emperors and often lived under royal protection. These cherished dogs later spread to Japan, Russia, and eventually to Europe in the 16th century, capturing the hearts of royalty such as Queen Victoria of England and Prince William of Orange. Pugs are small, compact dogs typically weighing between 14 to 18 pounds, with a short, glossy coat that comes in fawn, black, silver, or apricot. They are instantly recognizable by their wrinkled, flat-muzzled faces, expressive eyes, and curled tails. Personality-wise, Pugs are known for being charming, affectionate, and sociable—playful but dignified companions who adapt well to various living environments. Fun fact: Chinese breeders intentionally shaped the wrinkles on a Pug’s forehead to resemble the character for “prince” (王), further emphasizing their royal legacy.

Great Pyrenees: Noble Livestock Guardians

Great Pyrenees are instinctively excellent farm guard dogs and are widely used as livestock guardian dogs (LGDs). They were originally bred in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain to protect flocks from predators like wolves and bears. Their territorial nature, strong protective instincts, and nocturnal vigilance make them ideal for farm settings. While they are also great home guardians and protectors of their Human family, they are best suited for farm homesteads and prefer the outdoors where they can roam freely and protect livestock. They are known for their gentle temperament with animals
and children, but they are fiercely defensive against outside threats

Saint Bernards: Courageous Companions

Saint Bernard’s are better suited as house guard dogs rather than farm guard dogs. They were originally bred for Human rescue work by the hospice of the Great ST Bernard Pass on the Italian-Swiss border. While they have a large, intimidating presence and a deep bark that easily deters intruders. Their gentle temperament towards their Human family makes them excellent family dogs and loyal companions, while they also have strong instincts and excel at watchful protection of their Human family against any outside threats. Saints require 24/7 outdoor access but often prefer spending time indoors.

THE INCREDIBLE  –  “JIMMY FALLON”

 =====================================================================================================================================================================================

                          Walk The Line’s recommended potty training basics are:

1) Always have 2 designated potty locations set up for your Pug, one indoors for inclement weather and one outside for good weather. Until fully trained take your Pug to both of these locations alternating & weather appropriate, and ONLY THESE 2 LOCATIONS! Puppies up until a minimum of (6) months old should always be trained indoors in temperatures that are any less than 65 Fh. Puppies ambient temperatures should always be treated as a Human Baby! Puppies that are Winter trained indoors, acclimate very quickly to the outdoors once the weather allows for the transition. Older Pugs outdoor training must be considered similar to a small child as far as their susceptability to hot & cold ambient temperatures. No walks to any other locations until after fully trained & also not until after completing all of the recommended Puppy Shot Regimen! If you want to walk, then walk where it is safe & regimental, in the same place within your yard until after fully trained. Remember to always walk on a harness & not on a neck collar!

2) Always train/house your Pug in a well trafficked area of the home such as kitchen, family room, etc. DO NOT potty train in some remote location of the home such as the basement, a bathroom, or any closet type space. This teaches them after they are trained & on the occasions when can’t get outside, to not just go to some remote part of the house whenever they want to go, leaving you to find the surprise that was left days later. 

3) Take your Pug to only one of it’s 2 designated potty areas every time, shortly after eating by watching his/her gotta go signs & also regimentally every 4 hours. Come up with & always use the same potty phrase such as “Lets Go Potty”. Pugs learn by loving encouraging repetitive regimen, not by yelling at them!

4) Always stay with your untrained Pug during potty in order to make sure that they go, that the poop & urine is normal colors & consistency, & that they don’t do the nasty & eat their poop. Always make sure to praise them after they go, and you can use a handful of their kibble as a reward, no treats unless your Pug is over one years old! 

5) Do not use pee pads inside unless you have the pad holder because your Pug will eat them and potentially choke, or cause digestive tract impaction which can be fatal. Use either newspapers or preferably white human bath towels if you can manage the laundry. Outside the best area is a short well cut grassy area (within your protected area) with preferably an appropriately applied Pet safe bug/pest treatment. 6) Feed your Pug only Walk The Line’s case specific recommended chow. The basic chow is always a particular recipe of “Taste Of The Wild” with occasional case specific guidelines ort additives, etc. Pugs are to be fed regimentally 2-3 times daily at about the same time, every day. Pugs under 6 months old feed 3 times daily & Pugs over 6 months old are to be fed only twice daily. The quantity to be fed per day is gauged by Pugs weight & age right on the “Taste Of The Wild” food bag. If we feel for any reason that your case specific Pugs chow quantity should be any different than the standard, then we would notify you at the adoption.  

7) DO NOT change your Pugs chow, this creates havoc on their digestive system, disenabling them from having any bowel control whatsoever and can also create deadly Diarrhea & Dehydration. What you THINK that you are saving on your Pugs chow by buying some other “CHEAPER” Brand, will more than cost you in the long run on unnecessary Vet bills, an unhappier, unhealthier Pug, and most likely a Pug with a dramatically shorter life span. This is NOT JARGIN! Please do your diligence on this very crucial subject! Do not feed any other treats, chews, human foods, etc! Just Walk The Line’s recommended Pug Chow until at least one year old. After one years old we have provided a complete safe & beneficial list of treats, dietary additives, human foods, etc. within your Adoption Take Home Pug Health Care Documentation.

8) If you use a crate training method, make sure that the crate is an Canine industry sized Large or extra large for in the home & a medium sized for in the car. Some recommend a divided crate, we do not. Segregate an if need be potty area in the back of the crate & keep the bedding area towards the front. The crate is to be trained as their “Happy Place”, their safe haven, their R&R location, etc. NEVER use their crate as a place to lock them down for punishment location. Pugs for that matter should never be punished ANYWHERES! When they are being reprimanded, they should be put in their family room or kitchen location cordoned off from the open home, and not allowed in their crate, and this should be only for a very short period of time. DO NOT EVER put your Pug in an isolation area such as a closet, bathroom, basement, etc! After the brief reprimand is over, immediately cuddle your pug & let them know that you still love them & allow them access back to their crate.

9) NEVER HIT, scold harshly, yell at your Pug! You always train a Pug by praise & regimen, by rewarding the positive, not by scolding their accidents. If you ever want your Pug to learn, love, & respect you, the worst behavior that is appropriate on your part is a loud stern voice.

Registration & Pedigree Information

Walk The Line Pug’s and Hard Rock Farm’s Noble Giants litters are eligible for official registration based on their purebred heritage. Registrations may be processed through AKC Kennel Club. (United States) the United Kennel Club, (Internationally) CKC Kennel Club, (Canada) or the National General Kennel Club (China), (standard restricted use).

Registration papers are included as a standard part of our Puppy Adoption Packages, provided upon initial request and in compliance with the terms outlined in the case-specific WTL or HRF Adoption Contract. In instances where a spay/neuter agreement is required, registration documents will only be released upon full compliance with that agreement.

Once the adoptive family has submitted all required documentation and the puppy has reached the appropriate age (per the adoption agreement), registration papers are sent via regular U.S. Mail. Additionally, full pedigrees are available upon request and assessed case-by-case for an additional fee.

Commitment to Purebred Excellence

Our canines are strictly purebred, coming from bloodlines that are exceptionally healthy, free of disease, and devoid of congenital defects. Despite common misconceptions, hybrids and mixed breeds often introduce unpredictable and undesirable genetic complications. Only through a well-orchestrated and conscientious purebred breeding program can we ensure the healthiest, most immune-efficient, and genetically sound offspring.

Due to the widespread misuse and irresponsible breeding practices common in the industry, we rarely offer registration papers with breeding rights. However, unrestricted registration may be granted under special circumstances—reserved only for individuals who demonstrate, through our detailed Canine Adoption Application process, either a sound reason or a proven record of responsible breeding experience.

~ Testimonial by Lynda & Kevin Rouser, Massachusetts ~
“We started working with Walk The Line a year ago on the pre-adoption of two puppies. The level of attention and devotion they showed was unparalleled, as if we were the only adoptive family with whom they were working. Their knowledge about the breed and best health care practices are unsurpassed. The gallery was a constant source of delight and amazement as we watched our girls grow from newborns to the 10-wk old wonders we picked up in August, 2012. We could not be more pleased with our decision to pursue an adoption through Walk The Line; our girls are remarkably healthy, spunky, sweet-natured, and simply gorgeous. It was well worth the eight-hour drive to pick them up, and they were gracious enough to spend as much time as we needed to review the comprehensive binder and materials that are included as part of their adoption package. We do not hesitate in recommending and/or referring others to Walk The Line. Thanks for bringing so much joy into our lives! ” 

The best of the best! Lynda
