Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
After adopting a Boston Terrier in 2022 as a Guardian Dog, we got a more up close look at everything that went into breeding and fell in love. We are passionate about breeding Boston Terriers with health and temperament in mind.What makes your program special?
Our dogs and puppies live in our home with us. They are socialized with dogs, cats and children prior to going home. All of our parent dogs are genetically screened for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR1), Hereditary Cataracts (HC) and Hyperuricosuria (HU). We do not breed dogs that carry these genes or that have conditions that could be passed to the puppies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Boston Terrier
About Lily
Lily is our bestest girl. She is calm, gentle and an absolute snuggle queen. She prefers to lay directly onto of my head but will settle for lap snuggles. She spends her time playing outside, snuggling on the couch or going on the occasional car ride. Lily is currently raising her final litter and will then be retired.
Stella, mom
Boston Terrier
About Stella
Stella is Lily's daughter from her first litter. Like her mama, Stella is very sweet and loves to snuggle with us. She loves to run around in our backyard with the other dogs, loves to chew on bones and loves to play with our children. Sella spends most of her time outside, snuggling or going on the occasional car ride.
Hershey, dad
Boston Terrier
About Hershey
Hershey is a calm and gentle Boston gentleman. He loves running around outside and playing with our other dogs. Hershey enjoys snuggling, often laying so that his head is directly on my shoulder.
