I'm Amanda J., the breeder behind Jolly Bostons located in Central, KY. We raise our dogs in our home because they're our family. All puppies have been handled since birth and have been socialized to both children and other pets. I make serious efforts to place my puppies in their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
By fate really. It wasn’t something we had initially planned to do, but the opportunity presented itself and after research and health checks we proceeded to breed to keep offspring to our three babies. Now that we have our pick we're hoping to find the furever homes that will love them and care for them as we have.
What makes your program special?
They’re truly our family members first. Farts under the blankets while we sleep and all. They guard us when we poop, they go to town on errand runs with us, they are beyond just dogs. They're our best friends and our children's, too. We want the very best for not only our furever babies, but for their offspring and their furever, too!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Jack, dad
Boston Terrier
About Jack
Jack is our dilute (blue) and white boy. He’s 4-years old and you couldn’t find a bigger baby. Jack has the best temperament and the sweetest disposition.
Mabel, mom
Boston Terrier
About Mabel
Mabel is our easy going sweet girl. Her disposition is docile and somewhat aloof. She is almost 3 and this is her first litter.
Lizzo, mom
Boston Terrier
About Lizzo
Lizzo is our 4-year old who is the most nurturing and protective girl. She’s a great Mama and our demander of scratches. She’s always down to play, but loves snuggling up under our blankets at bedtime. We’ve had her since she was a weaned pup and she is our lover of car rides, her favorite spot being in my lap right by the window! She’s also extremely dramatic, if she gets mad she will give you the silent treatment and it’ll take a lot of belly rubs to get her happy. Lizzo is not registered, therefore her babies will not be registered.

Amanda is extremely responsive and actually puts a lot of effort into ensuring that her puppies go to a loving and qualified forever home. Our puppy was obviously extremely very well taken care of physically and emotionally. Amanda is what I wish all breeders were like. Not just there for the money, but to ensure that the puppies go to responsible and loving homes. Thank you Amanda!!!!

Amanda did a wonderful job with Raider! Raider is very well rounded in personality, he never meets a stranger, he is full of confidence and energy, extremely smart! Raider is the 5th Boston in our family and the best puppy ever. Amanda took amazing care of Raider with vet care and made sure he came to his forever home with everything he needed or might want. I could not be any happier with the experience!
