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.*

“My husband and I have been looking for another pug for quite some time. We had adopted a pug a few years back and simply fell in love with the breed. We decided to look for a black one. I had seen the pictures of the puppies on this site, we fell in love. Since first contacting Walk The Line, their replies were fast and imformative. They kept in touch with us throughout the whole adoption process. Answered any questions we had through emails and phone. We were very impressed In January we received our Maggie. She is beautiful and extremely healthy. They kept in contact with us after we brought her home as well. They are caring, honest and dedicated. The knowledge they have on this breed shows us that they are true professionals who would never disappoint you. This wonderful group of people will be our only source for anything pug. We are more then happy with our

THE PERFECT LITTER – (May 2, 2011)

…

………. All of Walk The Line’s Potential New Adoptive Pug Parents, must fill out our standard Pug Pre-Adoption application which is held strictly confidential, and is used solely for the purpose of our responsible placement of the Adoptive Pug. This form must be submitted via e-mail before we are seriously able to discuss potentially placing one of our Quality PureBreed Pugs in your intended environment. Initially after submission, the application is reviewed by Walk The Line’s Pug Health Care Expert for preliminary approval/disapproval and/or further discussion with the applicant/s. Once we get past that step, then the required references are confirmed & we look at the past Pet care history, responsible environment, general Pug beneficial setting being presented, etc. The application is normally a (1-3) day process (based on reference checks response times) which once concluded provides us with all of the basic required proper Pug safety placement information, that is required in order for us to best make our final determination. Any/all of the information provided us, will be used solely for our Pug Breeder responsibilities in determining a mutually beneficial Pug adoption situation and will be kept strictly confidential. If we approve your adoption application and we do not currently have a Pug available that meets your criteria, we will then forward your inquiry upon your approval, to another responsible Pug Comrade Breeder that may be able to currently assist you. If we feel that for any reason that your environment and/or background is not safe for any of its current animal inhabitants or for a Pug addition, then we will be forced to decline your Pug adoption application or explain what may possibly be done to rectify the situation, or at least properly notify you of its neccesity. This we must do as A Reputable and Responsible Quality Purebred Pug Breeder, All around Pug Care Taker, and The Original Ancient Chinese PureBreed Pug Heritage Preservationist.

“THE CLINCHER”

We offer for adoption only Exemplary Healthy, Durable Quality, Purebreed Pugs of our own private stock which are derived from a (13) generation known Purebreed Pug Blood and DNA Heritage line of Purebreed Pug stock. All of which are brought forth to date by a very selective combination of a carefully combined mix of third and fourth generation Line Breeding and Out Cross Breeding between our Ancient Chinese PureBreed Pug lineage and our American PureBreed Pug lineage. Our original DNA Line began in “2000” with a single apricot fawn male and a single silver fawn female, acquired from a family friend/Chinese Pug Breeder, and brought directly from China to the United States, by our private family. Their DNA and Ancient Chinese Purebreed Pug Heritage was well researched and inheritantly flows throughout our bloodlines to date! For an in depth description of Walk The Line’s learned and experienced “Breeding Method”, please go into our browser and click on the “Pugs Of Distinction” tab.

____________________________________________________

WTL has been a small private Pug Breeder, Pug Therapy Dog Trainer, Rescuer of our own Adopted Pugs, etc. since “2000”. This being said, we most always have not only Puppys but at most times we also have some Aolescents &/or Adult Pugs that are available for Adoption. Since it is very time consuming to try and keep up the Pic Gallerys current at all times, we normally have Pugs of various ages that aren’t pictured in the galleries. If you have a specific Pug criteria that you are looking for, and do not see one similar in the Galleries, then please contact us with your criteria and perhaps we do have an appropriate fit and can then work with you and post updated Pug pics etc., case specific. If we don’t have a Pug that may be a good fit, then normally we would be able to recommend you to a reputable “Comrade Pug Breeder” or another “Pug Associate”, that may have exactly the Pug that you are looking for.
