Hi,
    I was wondering if anybody is selling a miniature pug?
I found one on the internet and thought it was adorable!
Please contact me if anybody has seen a breeder.

                                          Thank-you

There is no such thing as a "miniature Pug". There are small Pugs, undersize Pugs & big Pugs! A Pug should be "multum in parvo" and should weigh around 16lb. If someone is selling an undersize one as something special - beware - it may well have health problems, certainly won't be a typical Pug & quite possibly won't even be purebred.
Pugs are a lovely breed. If you want one, go to a reputable breeder.

I have a very small pug (10.5lbs)but  she is not a miniature,  simply a very small pug who had multiple birth defects and was very hard to rear.  However, we bred her and I love her to bits.  But as the previous answer says, becasue of her small size she is "substandard"  in her instance she woudl never have been of sale quality - even if I coudl have parted with her, which I coudl not.  However, other very small pugs do not necessarily have all her health issues, but are still not to standard, so should be substantially less than a good example of the breed, and you should be aware that there may be underlying health problems.  Contact good breeders, not dodgy ones advertising "minis" and see if anyone has a smaller pup they are looking for a good home for.
bye
Gwen
