Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
It all started years ago with a poodle. I've come a long way since then and possibly why I wound up with Boston's. Less grooming but maintaining the intelligence of a poodle. I haven't always worked with just Boston's, but have been working with this breed for many many years and have learned that I would never be without one, or two...
What makes your program special?
I breed for a pretty head piece and smaller body with all around good health. Most of my dogs are on the smaller side which is my preference. The pups are well cared for and in my home 24/7. They live in the house like any loving pet should. I have a river rocked huge yard for them with toys hanging from trees that they love and a doggie pool where they can cool off if need be.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
