Strike 1: NO reputable breeder will simply allow you to "order" a pup online - make inital contact maybe, but they want to meet you....
Strike 2: how in the world are you gonna know the pup has the personallity you want without seeing it or the parents with your own two eyes
Strike 3: Do you know how many posts on this lists complain of ordering a pup online which for some reason was never shipped? it's a common scam....
Pug club of america has both a breeder referal list & a rescue list. webpage www.pugs.org

I do not believe there is a "good" place to "order" a dog online. You are taking a big chance if you purchase a dog via the Internet.
There are Rescue organizations that you can complete an adoption application online. Then you have to meet them first and there will be an adoption fee.
There are quite a few pug rescues sites online. Just google "pug rescues" in your area.

I do not recommend ordering a dog over a web site. How about checking out your local SPCA? They have all breeds of dogs, and you may find a pug that someone no longer wanted, or the owner died, etc. Its a wonderful way to get a dog, as well as checking out your local newspaper. It is always better to see the dog in person, and even its parents if possible. Be sure and get a guarantee of its health.

Not a good idea, don't order your dogs offline. It will just lead you to pain and suffering. A lot of dogs bought offline are from puppymills and are very sickly. I own a pug and got her from a breeder. With a breeder its best to find one that offers a gurantee on the health of your dog. Find a pug breeder in your area. You can search through AKC to find good pug breeders. Pugs are a wonderful dog to have!

Don't order a dog online. They mostly come from puppy mills which are really cruel to animals. Also don't get one from a pet store. Same deal. If you must have a purebred animal go to a breeder that only deals in your breed. The best thing to do in my opinion is rescue a dog or cat. You will have to be a little flexible as far as breed goes but it is well worth it. I have a mix black lab and shepard that I rescued 7 years ago and he is the very best pet ever. Good luck.

i would go to the AKC website. They have lists of breeder and where they live. Thats one place i would trust. If you dont mind what type of dog u get (i know you want a pug) but, go to a animal shelter. There is always a nice animal looking for a home

You cannot ''order'' a dog. Look online for local breeders and/or local purebred rescues. That way you can at least MEET the animal before agreeing to purchase/adopt. Insure the animal is up to date on shots, and truly healthy.

Many perfectly good Pugs need homes.

Rescue one.
If you aren't able to rescue then search for a reputable breeder who shows and health tests their dogs.
