KENNEL RULES & DOG INFORMATION

Please read our Kennel Rules thoroughly by clicking on the faqs below.

We do NOT allow visitation to our kennel. Due to their age, our puppies are not immune to any diseases you may accidentally bring in on your clothing. The only immunity to diseases comes through mom’s milk; we cannot measure that or know what they have been exposed to. They don’t even have that once they wean at about 4.5 to 5 weeks.

We usually cannot begin vaccinations till five weeks, and they need at least 2 of the five ways:

  • A good high-titer Parvo shot
  • Kennel cough shot
  • Wormings
  • A chance for the vaccinations to establish immunity in their systems

For their safety, if the breeder knows what they are doing, they cannot be seen until they are eight weeks of age, at which most of the pups are already reserved.

Even when they go home with you, they need two more puppy shots before you take them out in public.

When we meet, do not bring your dog. Your dog may have “bugs” that it is immune to that ours are not. Introducing your dog to a new puppy must be done in a secure environment where your dog feels safe and non-threatening. All animals in your household must have time to adjust to a new puppy.

If I have pups eight weeks of age or older who are not reserved and you wish to view them, I request that you wear clean clothing. We require that you disinfect your hands before touching the pups.

It is also best if the adults do the choosing of a pup. Do not bring your small children to choose a puppy. It is heartbreaking when a child has a favorite puppy, but the adult in their life decides on another dog. Your child will be happy with ANY puppy you bring home, and you will save yourself and your family a lot of grief!

Since we are a working farm, please respect our time. Feel free to research the Boston Terriers online; if you have questions, email us. We will be happy to answer your emails.

We are a small breeder and do not always have puppies available; if no puppies are on the website, please email us about our upcoming litters.

Please do not ask how many goats, calves, sheep, or dogs we own. It isn’t polite. It is the equivalent of my asking to see your W2 form. You don’t see all the vet bills, the all-nighters caring for birthing animals, the crying over a premature birth. The ups and downs 12 times a night to ensure Mom is not squishing a baby animal. What matters most is the home where the puppy will spend the rest of its life!

We do not accept personal checks except for down payments that have time to clear through the bank before the pick up of the puppy. Cash, Venmo, or PayPal, please.

Information

Our dogs are carefully selected for their health and quality. We do currently do genetic testing, but there are so few problems that this can identify. Due to the length of time that we have been breeding, our dogs come from quality stock that goes back generations and has been determined not to present with many of the common complaints of Boston Terriers.

Kennels are an essential tool for a professional. Forget the old wive’s tale that you are a puppy mill if you have a kennel. If you breed junk, you are a puppy mill, even if you have one litter. Stud males, unfortunately, urinate all over to mark territory.

A breeder without a kennel has to cage the stud, or he will pee all over the house. Why do you think boy dogs get such a bad name? Because people keep them without neutering them, and they only do what nature tells them to do (marking their territory). Neuter your male dog early; you most likely won’t have a problem.

I am not here to be a charity provider of dogs or to assist you in becoming a breeder. There are too many irresponsible breeders already who kill bitches and puppies because they don’t know the first thing about birthing Boston Terriers or about raising them during the first critical three weeks. We are a business. If you are looking for a breeder doing it for “fun,” you must leave this site.
We do not sell puppies for breed stock because not just any puppies should be bred. We sell our puppies as beloved house pets. Therefore, they are sold on a “limited” registry if sold through AKC. We breed for breed standards and personality. We do not guarantee our puppies to be of show quality. Only a tiny percent of all puppies born of any breed are genuinely show quality.
We do occasionally offer a litter from my aunt or cousin’s stock. My aunt has been breeding for over 60 years, and my cousin for over 40. Therefore, I know the stock the pups come from are excellent dogs, having been developed for a long time.
Dogs are not vegetarians and need meat sources of food. Check your food when purchased to see that it doesn’t contain primarily cereal. Premium food is worth the price. Don’t feed your dog table scraps unless you want a vet bill. Dog food is formulated to the dog’s nutritional needs. Raw meat fads contribute to liver disease in dogs, and wet food causes digestive disease. Good hard kibble is best.
Beware of people who offer stud service and don’t breed their dogs with quality stock. What do they care if Fido has hereditary disorders? Remember, dogs, too, have diseases that bodily fluids can pass on.
If I feel uncomfortable talking to you, I probably will not sell to you. I will ask questions regarding the type of atmosphere the puppy will live in. I must know the lifestyle of the family that will receive one of my pups. I want to match the lifestyle with the pup’s personality so that you have the best fit possible. After all, the next 15 years will be spent at your home. They have only spent eight weeks being hand-raised at mine! Thank you!
