PUPPIES

Currently there are no Boston Terrier litters expected. Christi is taking a pause from breeding as she focuses on training Turner for Field and obedience trials. She is also hoping to add a second Toller in 2009. Our breeding program for Tollers is only in the planning stages!

HEALTHY PUPPIES
Our puppies are bred for health, temperament and conformation to the Boston Terrier Standard. All of our puppies are sold with a health certificate from our veterinarian. Dew claws are removed. Before they go to their new homes, all puppies have been wormed, have had their first shot, have eyes examined & hearing tested, pass a preliminary patella screening, and are temperament tested.

RAISING PUPPIES
Our puppies are home raised with plenty of love and attention. They are handled a lot and are socialized as much as possible before they leave. Our puppies are separated from each other at 7 weeks and sleep by themselves in crates. You won’t have to endure any crying puppies at night.

PET vs. SHOW PUPPIES
I evaluate my puppies for conformation at birth, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks. Show potential puppies are held at least until 12 weeks of age. This allows a better evaluation of structure and movement. Puppies sold as companions usually leave between 8 and 10 weeks of age, depending on their maturity.

All of our puppies are bred from Champion bloodlines that have been carefully monitored for health and temperament. Pedigrees are available upon request.

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY
We only breed one to two litters per year. Due to litter size, we sell less than 5 puppies per year. Please feel free to e-mail to inquire about expected litters. Remember that you will be asked to come visit for an interview before you get to see any puppies.
