About Us

We are honored to have been featured in the AKC Breeder Spotlight.
Kathy Clayton is the owner of Bigo Pugs and a long-time breeder with over 25 years’ experience. She is a member of the national Pugs Club of America (FBDCA) and a founding member of Northeast Oklahoma Kennel Club in Grove, Oklahoma, as well as Show Chairman and Secretary/Treasurer for the soon to be AKC approved Oklahoma Green Country Pugs Club. She has bred and shown a multitude of Champion and Grand Champion Pugs earning her the prestigious AKC Breeder of Merit title. As an AKC BREEDER OF MERIT, Bigo Pugs has produced upwards to 200 champions and our puppies have been given the advantage of superior genetics. Here at Bigo the Pugs primary focus in our breeding program is type, temperament, and health. We breed an outgoing, well balanced, healthy animal that will be a joy to show and live with. While Pugs are a "HEAD" breed (a breed whose head is the most prominent feature), a healthy animal needs more than a head to function. We plan our breedings to produce animals that can move correctly and adhere to the breed standard, without excesses in any one feature. As a participant in the AKC “Bred with H.E.A.R.T.” program, we are committed to health testing our adults, staying current with breeding practices and canine health advances, complying with all AKC policies, continuing to be a responsible breeder as we always have, and upholding the tradition of producing happy and healthy Pugs puppies for sale. We do not produce any coat colors that are not approved by the National Breed Club as these type dogs are disqualified from AKC events and prone to have genetic health deficiencies. Puppies which are offered as companion pets and family members are offered with AKC limited registration (not for breeding or show). Breeding or show prospects are offered to responsible homes by private arrangement.

We have 6 kids that are hands on with our dogs and puppies. We have studied reproduction, DNA, health, temperament and this breed from top to bottom. Rest assure we are doing everything possible to make sure we better the breed with every litter. Socialization is something you won’t have to worry about. We take so much pride in being the Elite Pug Breeders in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and by our standards Worldwide!

Your puppies will receive the best care possible while they’re with us. We will shower your puppy with love, structure from the day they’re born until we place them in your arms.

When you buy a puppy from us, you’re welcomed into our family forever. We are honest, reliable Pug breeders with a history of healthy puppies to show for. We would love to help you add a new pupy to your family!
