I'm , the breeder behind Kulakumu Bostons located in Pierce County, WA. My program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Boston Terrier.

I strive to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
Q. & A. with
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to do my part to better the breed. My breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Boston Terrier while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, pedigree, and conformation. My involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I will always stand behind my puppies.
What makes your program special?
I test all my breeding dams with health testing that is required by the national standard. Adhering to the national club standard for all recommended health screening tests is paramount to my dogs’ wellbeing and my personal integrity. All papers are on hand for anyone who will be interested as well. Prospective puppy parents are screened closely, and I commit to always being a resource and guide for all of my families who create a forever home for my puppies. It is NOT an easy matter to just place a pup; it also takes good judgment!
