Amish Puggles...And a little irony, too...

Buying a puggle can be tough. Not every breeder does an A+ job. Some of them are downright evil. You certainly don't want to support the evil mills. You don't want a sick dog. You don't want a dog who has been victimized. Wouldn't it be nice if you could find a puppy bred by a loving group of folks who seem millions and millions of miles away from even being remotely likely to engage in unsavory behavior?

I found a breeder (or, more accurately, a marketing arm tied to a breeder) that would seem to fit the bill. Amish Puggle Puppies. Here's an example of what their site has to say:

"We only sell Amish raised puppies. The Amish are known for their wholesome life style. They use no cars, computers and electricity and do not pollute the environment. They are also well known for their integrity and honesty. They keep their word because they have deep spiritual beliefs, and know that "God Is Watching."

Please note: This isn't an ad for this outfit. It's not an endorsement. It's just a few of my observations. It certainly sounds good, but you have to wonder about one thing... The Amish and the idea of websites don't really mix. The notion of folks who don't even like the idea of zippers backing a website to sell dogs seems a bit incongruous to me.

Now, as noted, the site isn't actually operated by anyone proclaiming to be Amish. They just get the pups from Amish folk and sell them themselves. I don't know if that cuts against the "God is Watching" claims or not. This could be the best thing since sliced bread.

Just an interesting find in Puggle Land!

Remy the Puggle! Great Video...

The source calls it the "BEST puggle video EVER".
That might just be true, too.

Remy the Puggle is the star of the show. This well-produced video montage allows the uber-cute pup to really strut his stuff.



I'm not the only one who likes the vid, either. Here's a comment (found at YouTube) from another fan of the flick:

"5 stars. Very well produced. I liked the side rear view mirror shots. Mikey loves to ride in the car like that, but I didn't realize his ears ears are flopping to and fro."

Anyway, if you like puggles (and you obviously do), you should be watching the Remy move right this very minute!

Mexican Travel Sounds Great!

This is a puggle blog, not a travel blog. Recently, however, I wrote a piece on traveling with your dog, so this isn't much of a stretch, really.

I can't tell you how the folks at Karisma Resorts feel about puggles, but I can tell you how much they appear to love their guests. This exciting company operates a string of top-notch resorts along the Maya Riviera, catering to all personality types. They have a facility designed to utterly dissolve the stress of vacationers. They have others designed with activities in mind for those who'd like to stay on the go. They even operate an impressive resort for those of us who prefer our time away from home to be an "au natural" affair. That's right--from overly stressed executives to nudists, Karisma has it covered (pun intended).

One great thing about their All Inclusive Mexico Vacations is that they really do cater (again, a pun) to the palates of their visitors. These people are proud of their food and provide the kind of chow that will satisfy even the most haughty of the foodies. Great surroundings. Well-appointed properties. Fantastic cuisine.

Puggles or not, you'd be in the wrong NOT to investigate Karisma properties and to consider Mexico for your next vacation.
