Q. & A. with Allie
Why did you start breeding?
I feel in love with Boston Terriers when I adopted my first from a rescue in 2017. While on the search for my second in 2022, I quickly realized the list of well-bred, holistically raised and raw fed Boston Terriers was pretty short. Thus, I realized the dogs I would breed would be very needed.
What makes your program special?
I raise my puppies on puppy culture. I implement ESI and ESN within my program. I exclusively raw feed biologically appropriate food that is both complete and balanced. I begin crate training and potty training before your puppy comes to join your home at 10 weeks old.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include seal and white, brindle and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
