We live on a small farm on Funen in Denmark, we like the open spaces. Besides the dogs we’ve got horses, cats and chickens. Our dogs are first and foremost familymembers, they are with us close to 24 hours a day. They are with us, when we are in the garden, in the stable, relaxing on the couch, going on summer holiday, on family visits - they even sleep in our bed at night. We do not believe, that the pug is suitable for living under stablelike conditions.
Our dogs live an active life, they get good walks both in the nature but also in city enviroments. They also get to play with other pugs and also dogs of other breeds. We do not believe that a dog can have a nice life, if it never goes outside the garden. The pug needs to get out and have good experiences under controlled circumstances. We are very aware that a pug does not have the same needs as an Alaskan malamute. So our dogs live an active life, where we focus on their capacity and needs.
We are often to be found at dogshows. It has become a nice hobby for both the dogs and me. This is were we meet a lot of our 2- and 4-legged friends. I have never experienced my dogs being tired of the showlife. The training and showing are play for the dogs and that is why they love it. Even though there have been both good and bad showresults, I always go home with the best dogs in the world.
In the end of 2008 I applied for the FCI-kennel name; ”Chalant”. Chalant is from our first pug Moccas pedigree name; NonCHALANT Pug ze Sametu. It’s extremely important to me to be a responsible breeder- and not just produce puppies. Before I applied for my kennel name, I talked to a lot of national and international breeders and went to the Danish Kennel Club’s Breeders course.
Naturally I follow the ethic guidelines given by the Danish Kennel Club. Also my females will have no more than 3 litters. All dogs will have achieved excellent at a show before being bred. All dogs will be tested for demodex, hemivertebra, luxating patella and had their eyes examined before being bred.
My vision is to think generations ahead and not just see the litters as a finishing product. I will spend a great amount of time studying the lines; their health status and their offspring. If I don’t believe that a certain litter will be of benefit to the breed - the breeding wont take place. The future of this lovely breed is in the hand of us breeders, we have to live up to that huge responsibility
