I went there last year when we were looking for a pup. Thank goodness... I did not get Zoe from them. I knew something was not right with that place and I'm so glad I didn't get a puppy there! They were right, he never let us beyond the front room just as you walked in. It did smell of dog but I'm not sure I would say it was overwhelming. We saw the parents which did not look healthy and the mom was way too small to be breeding. Someone was also coming to look at the "Puggles" so there were a couple of pups running around. One of the Pugs went potty which didn't alarm me with a pup but he had diareah which did concern me. There was no way I was getting a pup there and don't you know.... leaving the place I got stuck in the mud. It was a nitemare. The lady who did wind up getting one of the Puggles eventually was able to get me out. I knew I was never going back!!! So sorry to hear this kind of thing is going on right in my backyard.
