| About
the owner: |
Thomas
and Denise were born, raised, met and married in
Watsonville. Thomas works for his family
business as the bookkeeper of a construction
company. Denise works for Pacific Gold Farms as
a payroll specialist and accountant. After a
rough day at work, there is nothing better than coming
home to two pugs' faces staring at you through the
back door glass with tails wagging and smiles from
ear-to-ear.
Tom is able to run home during the day and check on
the girls if anyone is not feeling up to par or
someone needs a midday meal or medicine. His
retirement is going to consist of being a house daddy
taking care of pugs and cleaning up after them.
Denise has been active in dog shows since 1977 when
she started showing her brother's Labrador Retriever
in obedience. She finished his UD (Utility
Degree) and got a Shetland Sheepdog to start
training. After finishing his UD, Tom and I met
and he started talking about getting a Bulldog.
In 1994 we got married and we decided on a Pug
instead. I insisted on finding a breeder that
could support my questions because I knew about the
health issues with Pugs. That is when we were
introduced to CoryRex Kennels. Courtney was
always there before and after we got Monique.
When Monique turned 4, we started looking for a breed
dog to show in conformation. After seeing Gage
and the Storybook girls in a match, I wanted to own a
Gage puppy. The following March 2001, Jade was
born. I was so excited when Keven called the
next day to let us know we were on the list for a
girl. After 5 weeks we went up to meet our new
family member. The second I saw this little girl
sitting by herself looking up at me, it was
love. We played and she crawled up my sleeve and
fell asleep. She has been there ever
since! The support we receive from both the
girls' breeders makes owning a Pug a
blessing.

Having two Alpha bitches in the same household can be adventurous to
say the least. But when they are hanging out together you can't
take one without the other. You can find them curled up in the
same bed or listening to tunes in front of the speakers. |
Jade
was very proud of her legs (green ribbons) and her Pug cookie jar that
she won at different shows. The day she finished her Rally
Novice degree, she also qualified in Novice B earning High Scoring Pug
(Merrell Award) and High Scoring Toy.
|
Jade had a
very successful year in 2005; this picture was her final leg in Rally
Advanced taken in Galt, CA, in a wind storm. |
Jade started her
career in breed at 6 months old. Her favorite spot was the table
because of the chicken that was always lavished on her.
