Please be in touch with me. I also have a pug puppy from Anne Wasserman. Would love to talk.

Hopefully discuss how it would be a bad idea to purchase from her, since she was charged with animal cruelty, on 34 counts.

My wife and I bought a Pug from Meshugga Kennels Ann Wasserman and we also felt like we rescued the dog. The house and dogs were completely disgusting. We had to give our pugs 5 soapy baths before the smell washed off. She also handled the pugs inappropriately. She would pick them up by the skin above the neck which is not recommended and chokes the puppy. I do not believe she is a reputable breeder and hope animal cruelty stops her behavior.

Unfortunately, by buying her you have supported her I would have had a heard time leaving a sweet little face in that environment, too. I hope you report her to the authorities.

I hope your pug ended up healthy

I tend to agree - too many breeds to be able to focus properly on one specific breed.

WOW. This is eye opening for sure. My fiancee and I have been looking for a pug and actually had an appointment to go see Ms. Wasserman this coming Sunday with the intention of purchasing a puppy. Needless to say, I've cancelled the appointment. Thank God for you folks posting this on here. Otherwise, I may have made a terrible mistake.

I too wish I knew to research this woman. I found her posting on the Internet. When My fiance and i arrived I was taken aback by the smell. We couldn't leave the dog there because we felt so bad. The pug we re named Lola was soaking wet when we went to the house. We were told that Lola was just bathed. Mind you it was 20 degrees out. Annie said Lola was shaking because she was nervous. Needless to say, we paid and took the dog and ran. We had to take her to the groomer because she smelled so terrible. There must be a way to shut this woman down permanently.

Report her, that is the only way to stop this cycle-- and the only other way, no matter how difficult, is NOT to buy a dog from her, no matter the conditions, etc.
