De Novo Bostons
Meet the breeder
I'm Lauren L., the breeder behind De Novo Bostons located in Lincoln, CA. My dogs are my soul companions. Hiking, doing agility, wine tasting or simply relaxing, my Bostons are open for anything as long as they are close to those they love. I bask in their adoration. My Pyrenees protect the entire farm. Their kind dispositions and devotion to duty amaze me.
Q. & A. with Lauren
What makes your program special?
My focus is making good loving connections and long lasting bonds between dogs and new owners. In essence, I want my dogs to bring joy to their new homes. In service to this goal, I want to produce pups that have the best possible chance of being healthy and care free. Health testing is one tool to achieve this. Another is the long term health and advice support I offer with each pup.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white and black brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
