Meet the breeder
I'm Rose S., the breeder behind Aim High Kennels located in Woodville, FL. We offer quality show prospects and loving devoted companions. We believe temperament comes first. All of our puppies are socialized with children and other dogs. Limiting the number of dogs and litters we have allows us to give the individual love and attention they deserve.
Q. & A. with Rose
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the American Staffordshire Terrier. I decided to start my own responsible breeding program. I later developed a deep appreciation for Boston Terriers and added them to my breeding program. These fun, spirited little dogs bring a unique charm to our home. My contribution is to breed healthy Amstaffs and Boston Terriers with amazing temperaments. I am dedicated to producing healthy, quality dogs.What makes your program special?
I believe in quality, not quantity. Temperament and health pf my pups are most important to me, and I base my breeding decisions accordingly. I prioritize temperament, health, structure. I strive to breed as close to the breed standard as possible. It is always my goal to produce show-quality dogs, and all of my puppies make wonderful companions.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Rose
Rose has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Rose partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“In order to match puppies with new owners, we like to get to know the individual or family. Potential owners are screened and complete a buyer questionnaire for detailed information about your home, daily schedule, activity level, experience with dogs, and what you’re hoping for in a companion. After the pups are born, we begin to evaluate each puppy. Over the next weeks, we evaluate the pups personality traits and structure for conformation. Please understand up front that we will match the puppies to their new owners based on our experience and the individual homes. We may reserve select puppies as potential show prospects; however, our priority is that every puppy is first and foremost a loving companion. A puppy may not have the markings required for showing and will be placed as a companion. These puppies are just as cherished, sharing the same loving temperament and quality—simply not suited for the show ring. Our #1 goal is to match the pups in loving homes where they will be cherished family members for life.”
