Q. & A. with Alice
Why did you start breeding?
I believe that purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Boston Terrier. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy dogs for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
What makes your program special?
I am an ethical hobby and show breeder with a great amount of education and experience in breeding outstanding Boston Terriers. I do not produce a litter unless my dogs are exceptional representations of the breed standard, are CHIC certified, and have champion titles. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do, and I hold myself to high standards. While many of my dogs have made exceptional show prospects, all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
