“Got both of my pugs from Vikki and I had only joy from day one . The dogs come with all you need to get yourself going . I was expecting a few unsettled nights as I’d experienced in the past when we got dogs, they missed their mother. Vikki has your pup separated from its mother and eating puppy kibble by the time you pick them up. They were also paper trained I never had any crying nights or problems with training . It was so easy to introduce the dog to its new home. Vikki always keeps in touch and is there day or night for advice on anything regarding the dog. The experience was fantastic because instead of just being handed a dogs pup you are being accepted into their family ! The dogs are part of the family and loved from the moment they are born. The transition was effortless.”

“We now have three gorgeous, healthy pugs all bred and raised by Vikki and each experience has been perfect! Great contact and updates on the puppies throughout pregnancy and once born. Professional breeder with great knowledge and passion for what she does and she genuinely cares for every dog she owns and raises. 100% recommend!”
- Chelsey
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were so well looked after with regular updates on how Buzz was doing before we collected him. The after care is fab - you can get in touch anytime with questions. I still am over a year later! Buzz is such a gorgeous, happy, healthy pug. He brings us joy every day 😍. It made me chuckle that Vikki actually sleeps in the same room as the pups to make sure they have literally 24 hr care! She’s so dedicated and truly loves all her four legged charges. I also loved how she connected us to other pug owners who had bought from her before so as newbies we could be assured of her standards. It’s like a family. We should make a family tree 😃. Thanks again Vikki”

“The Mating Game has given me the best gift ever, my two pugs Mabel and Olive, they have changed my life for the better. They are best pals and we do everything and go everywhere together. Mabel and Olive are two of Vikki’s retired breeding bitches that I now have, to take care of but what an easy job because Vikki has done all the work bringing my special girls up to be perfect, so well behaved . I have no doubt that I will have more dogs from Vikki in the future. I love going to The Mating Game, Vikki has a wonderful set up, all the dogs are well looked after, super happy and love her as much and she loves them, I am lucky enough to see some behind the scenes with the mating game where she makes so many other people happy all year round.

"I can't thank The Mating Game enough for introducing Frank Sinatra to our family.
It goes a long way to see such a well socialised beautifully tempered puppy at 11 weeks. He's pinacle of health.
More importantly the communication and process was so lovely from Vikki the whole way through! Video calls. Photo updates. And met us half way on route with her family to an event, just to make it easier for us, as they were a long way away for us.
I have always gone with my instincts with breeders and 20 years experience from The Mating Game is so obvious in the health and temperament and socialization of Frank.
He's an angel. He is quiet. He is polite. Loves other animals and our great Dane; Audrey. Key factor for his adoption. He is already adapted to so much life for his age. He fits right in like he has always been part of the family.
Thank you for going above and beyond for us all.
Love Liam, Lily

Over the past 10 years I have co-owned 3 male pugs and 1 female chihuahua with Vikki. The dogs have been thoroughly spoiled and loved and I get to see them whenever I want. It has been an excellent investment opportunity for me too. The dogs will be mine when they retire.
Josh
We got our lovely pug (shug) February 2019, he is perfect and loved so much. Vikki was fantastic from the start,right up until we left with our little one. It was our first time getting a pup and we were very much like first time parents again, we were very well informed and armoured with all the info needed to be able to provide the best for Shug. Would definitely recommend and Vikki will be our first point of contact should we ever choose to extend the brood (working on it) thanks
Hayley
We have just picked up our second beautiful pug puppy from Vikki and we are once again thrilled to welcome a healthy happy puppy who has settled in already. It is obvious how much Vikki cares about her dogs and that she takes such care in crossing healthy dogs to produce such lovely litters. Brought up in her home they are well adjusted and inquisitive with real characters, It is obvious how seriously Vikki takes breeding healthy animals and that she cares hugely about them and their welfare. We saw our puppy’s parents and can see how they are well loved members of Vikki’s family. I would recommend Vikki very highly for her ethical and caring way she manages the Mating Game.
Susan
Me and my family co-own 3 dogs with Vikki. Tallulah, Carmella and Minnie are really well looked after and we can call Vikki and come and see them whenever we want, Vikki is amazing at what she does and is very passionate about giving the dogs an amazing home and an amazing life!
-Glenn
Our new pup is all settled in and already terrorising his fellow animals in the house me and my family have a long history with Vikki with three pugs and 2 bulldogs coming from her! So when I decided to move out from my mum and dads house I just couldn’t resist not having a pug of my own and there was only one lady who I’d go to and that was Vikki. Everything from start to finish has been amazing and you can tell she properly cares for these pups and makes sure they’re at they’re best before leaving the gang ! Thank you so so much Vikki for many years of crazy and happy memories with our new best friend ! I’m sure our paths will cross again down the line if Pumba needs a friend/friends
Matt
I got in contact with the mating game via the kennel club, Our luck was in as a pup become available the day after I had emailed. We had regular pictures and videos as Bruce grew up he is absolutely amazing, we get compliments about him everywhere we take him. We read up on French bulldogs as they have a lot of Heath issues. Luckily for us he has absolutely no problems at all. I would not hesitate to buy another puppy from the mating game
Michael
I started to do my research on French bulldogs and Vikki was listed on the Kennel Club. I spoke to quite a few breeders as well as Vikki ..... Vikki was first class from the first day of speaking to her . Her knowledge is second to none and nothing was too much trouble .... We picked up our pup Bleu and the handover was both professional and caring to the pup ..... Vikki supplies us with food , paperwork and a blanket .... She is always just at the end of the phone and as I have said nothing is ever too much trouble and always willing to help and advise !!! Five star reviews all the way from us . Bleu is now just over 5 months and thriving ....
Jason
Our little Ivy has settled into our home perfectly... She’s happy, healthy and causing mischief
Vikki kept us informed with updates and photographs of our little pup from the day she was born to the day we picked her up, as well as, being able to answer any questions we had. She truly cares about the pups health and well-being!
Our family can’t thank you enough for our new little family member and we will definitely be back once Ivy is ready for a sibling!
Megan
Amazing service, care and friendliness from Vikki, getting a puppy is an exciting time but can also be stressful, Vikki takes all the stress away with her brilliant knowledge and impeccable experience!! Not only does she breed amazing puppies she is brilliant at putting you at ease making you feel you have known her for years.
I would highly recommend her to anyone and hope to keep in touch and maybe buy again from her in the future
