I'm Bonnie S., the breeder behind Firefly Belgian Tervuren located in Framingham, MA. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. My passion is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do.
Q. & A. with Bonnie
Why did you start breeding?
I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Belgian Tervuren will continue to thrive for generations to come. It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for my buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts.
What makes your program special?
I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Belgian Tervurens for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
