Victor Hugo's mom, Angela Nabuco, tells us his story:

Back in 2001, we imported Am Ch Bowtie´s Oh No Mr Bill Live! from Pat Hicks of North Carolina and Bill´s first litter here was with our beloved Nabuco´s Betty Boop, the best girl in our kennel!

Unfortunately Betty passed away in the c-section. It was a nightmare! I could not believe it was happening!! Victor was the only boy among the 3 puppies born.

Our dear bitch Vivi, took care of the puppies for us. Vivi was still pregnant, but nursed Victor and her sisters.

Since the beginning Victor was a stunning puppy and had a special love for me. We have many pugs at home, and most of them belong to all people in the house. But Victor belongs to me, or may be I belong to him!

He has been to shows as a junior ( he is junior champion ) , but we stopped going to shows since 2002. Victor knows he is special for many ways! He is a wonderful stud dog, producing so many champions in his 6 years, among them the pug #2 in Brasil in 2007 and Multi BIS Brasilian Ch, Uruguai Ch Nabuco´s Ana Livia. Another daughter of Victor who made a lot of success is Multi BIS Nabuco´s Tequila, the puppy #1 in Mexico in 2007.

Victor is the boss in our house for all the pugs. His pictures can tell about his personality, and how spoiled he is!!! He knows how important he is for me, the best souvenir Betty Boop could leave to us before passing the rainbow bridge. He is my beloved boy!!!
