From the moment I met Dixie, I knew I had found someone truly special. Her home is warm, clean, and filled with love — the perfect place for raising happy, healthy Boston Terrier puppies. It’s obvious she pours her heart into every single pup, making sure they are well cared for, socialized, and ready for their forever homes. Her knowledge of the breed is incredible, and she shares it so generously. Dixie was incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience feel like visiting an old friend. I know this isn’t just the end of getting a puppy — it’s the start of a lifelong friendship. I’m so grateful for her and can’t recommend her highly enough.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Dixie and couldn’t be happier with our new Boston Terrier puppy, Henry! From our very first inquiry to the day we brought Henry home, the communication was clear, friendly, and professional. It was obvious how much love, care, and knowledge went into raising her puppies.
Henry is healthy, happy, and incredibly well-socialized — he adjusted quickly to our home and is already such a beloved part of our family. You can tell he came from a nurturing environment where his early days were filled with attention and affection.
We’re so grateful to have found a breeder who truly cares about the breed and their dogs. If you’re looking for a Boston Terrier and want peace of mind that your puppy is coming from a responsible, caring breeder, we can’t recommend Dixie highly enough!

I think that Dixie is an excellent breeder. She prepared my puppy for a good transition to my family. My puppy shows good leaning skills and is a fast and smart learner, which leads me to believe she has good parentage and was raised in a loving and happy environment. Our visit to her home was friendly and inviting. Can't say enough good things about her knowledge of breeding.

We're so lucky to have found Dixie on Good Dog. After a round total of 14 hours hours of driving to pick up our older pup, who is 10 months old, Dixie was very sweet and helpful. He's the best Boston! So sweet, great temperment and we love him so much. I highly recommend, Dixie!

I recently had the pleasure of adopting a Boston Terrier puppy (named Peach) from Dixie’s Southern Boston’s, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I reached out to inquire about their puppies, I knew I was dealing with passionate and caring individuals.
Dixie and her boyfriend welcomed me with open arms. Their kindness and genuine love for their dogs were evident. It’s not every day you find breeders who treat their pups like family members, but that’s exactly the vibe I got from them. Dixie’s enthusiasm for Boston Terriers is contagious! She shared fascinating tidbits about the breed, their quirks, and their playful personalities. It’s clear that she’s dedicated to raising healthy, happy pups. My little furball—now named, Peach, is the picture of health. Bright-eyed, energetic, and oh-so-sweet! Dixie ensured that all vaccinations were up-to-date, and she provided valuable advice on puppy care. I’ve been on the hunt for a reputable breeder for quite some time. After countless disappointments, I stumbled upon Dixie’s Southern Boston’s, and it felt like fate. If you’re looking for a Boston Terrier, look no further—this is the place! I'm glad to be a part of the 'Dixie's Southern Boston's' family. 😊
Dixie, if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve made my home brighter, my heart fuller, and my days infinitely more joyful with this little bundle of fur.
