Thankyou everyone, I see quarantine will be an issue. It was one I faced before when I was doing a little foster caring for Denise, and had to give it a rest when I had litters on the way. Big nasties aside, kennel cough was a frequent issue. I also felt the little terriers didn't blend well with my pugs and could be offered better foster families as my pug family increased. So I will be looking to set up a quarantine area on my property hopefully, as well as discussing possible temp care in no dog homes . I have found a great course to help me learn more. {PAWS wasn't doing many pugs when I paused fostering so I will get back in touch with Denise.) Syd travel isn't too hard, just not so great for the potential new family. Thanks to Deb, we've had a chat and I think next time i get a holiday (!?) she will have some puggy visitors. I will also look up fetching dogs. Thanks everyone for your help, I can take pugs immediately if required but will post when I am set up. Step one for me now is the mdba rescue course, and getting back in touch with the wonderful paws.I will also look into the recently published book by Schmoo.

Thanks, I'll see if she gets in touch - & try to look her up.

Thanks! I ahve also just spoken to anne from previoud syd pug rescue who is a wonderful source of information.

Hi everyone. I am a small time (registered) pug breeder with 5 lovelly pug children, and a few human ones. I have fostered in the past with a great organisation but since moving to the central coast from sydney was not quite so useful to them. I am increasingly interested in pug rescue. Not only do i of course love the breed, but feel i would be better placed to help this breed, with my knowledge of the breed and existing pack- pugs know pugs. I would love to start a pug rescue group, and with gods help, perhaps broaden it. However, it would certainly be simpler to help and existing group. Whilst doing my research on quarantine areas, 16d's and etc I am hoping for any advice anyone with experience in rescue organisations has- I am also wondering if there is an existant pug rescue group in nsw- all research i have done indicates that previous groups have not been active for a couple of years. I was very impressed with the amount of goodwill and energy towards rescue on this site, and would love your opinions, Thanks in advance, Eve
