About
I came to live with my first Boston in 1996 and have been in love with this intelligent and devoted breed ever since. I am dedicated to the health and future of the Boston Terrier breed and believe in upholding the AKC breed standard. This is not a business, nor do we strive to be a prolific kennel based on quantity of puppies or titles produced.
Our Bostons are raised as naturally as possible; this includes lots of fresh air and outdoor exercise on our property, minimal vaccines, and a fresh whole-foods diet. We are privileged to share our lives with these magnificent creatures; they take part in our daily activities and are an integral part of our family. Not only are they wonderfully engaging, they are our friends and companions. Many thanks to Dr. Bob and Jill for providing us with a wonderful foundation for the dogs we are currently working with.
The purpose of this site is to provide information on our dogs along with resources for other Boston Terrier owners. I only breed when I am looking for my next show prospect so we normally do not have pet puppies available. Any information regarding an upcoming litter is posted here. For more information on finding a Boston Terrier please read the information I have provided below. Thanks, Deide
Please be aware that finding a quality Boston Terrier puppy is not always easy. Boston litters tend to be small and normally require c-sections. Many Boston breeders have only one or two litters a year, sometimes none; many have waiting lists for puppies. Once you find a reputable breeder it is a good idea to plan ahead and have your name added to a few waiting lists.
Beware of people that always have puppies available, or sell red, blue, or white colors that are, in reality, disqualifying faults according to the Boston Terrier standard and often come with a host of health problems. Also, mis-marked Bostons with a predominately white head and excess white markings have been shown to be at risk for producing deaf offspring and should not be bred.
When looking for a Boston puppy it pays to do research and ask questions. Why do they breed? How often? Does the puppy come with a contract? Are puppies placed with limited registration to prevent future indiscriminate breeding? Have the sire and dam been screened for cataracts and luxating patellas (slipped/shallow knees sockets)?
