Trivia
In 2004, "Pups Is Pups" was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as "historically and culturally significant." As of 2022, it is the only "Our Gang" short to receive this distinction.

Quotes
Jackie: [Farina shows Jack an ad he found for "Ten colored boys between the ages of 7 and 10 to act as pages" at a Dog and Pet show in town] Gee, how much will that pay?
Farina: Ohhhhhh, around two hundred bucks.
Jackie: Gee, if I had that much money, I'd buy me an airplane, then get married in Mexico and fly all around the South Pole.
Mary Ann: I'd take my Mama to Europe. She always did want to see Chicago.
Twins: [Twin on the left] I'd buy a watermelon.
Twins: [Twin on the right] I'd buy a pork chop.
Our Gang member: We'd buy whole lot chop suey.
Chubby: Yeah, and I'd buy my Dad a million cigars. And a hundred pounds of candy, too.
Buddy: [speaking from offscreen] Yeah, I sus-pose you'd eat all the candy, wouldn't ya!
Chubby: [bashful] Well, of course, a little bit.

Going To A Pet Show With The Little Rascals

An OUR GANG Comedy Short

Farina alerts Chubby, Jackie & the rest of the Gang about a fancy pet show taking place downtown, prompting the kids into entering their pig, goat, mice & toads. Meanwhile, little Wheezer is discovering that PUPS IS PUPS as he tries to keep his five rambunctious puppies from running all over town.

A funny little film, with lots of interaction between the Rascals & their animals. Recurring highlight: Dorothy & the mud puddle. That's Charlie Hall as the violin player.
