Q. & A. with Mandy
Why did you start breeding?
Started to show Boston Terriers in AKC conformation and wanted to better the breed.What makes your program special?
What sets my breeding program apart is my deep commitment to quality over quantity, and a true passion for the Boston Terrier breed. I focus on producing well-rounded dogs with exceptional health, structure, and temperament. Puppies are raised in my home, not in kennels, and are exposed early to household sounds, people, and other pets to ensure confident, well-socialized companions. I also use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and age-appropriate training to give each puppy the best possible start in life. My program emphasizes responsible breeding practices, lifelong support for families, and a strong connection with the Boston Terrier community through showing, mentoring, and education. Whether you're looking for a show prospect or a cherished family pet, I take pride in matching each puppy with the right home and staying involved for the lifetime of the dog.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Boston Terrier puppies include brindle and white, seal brindle and white, seal and white, black brindle and white, and black and white. Australian Shepherd puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

He also received his first round of vaccinations like a champ! 🐶💉 He's playful, curious, and getting more confident each day. He’s also doing really well with his litter box training — such a smart little guy!
Hookah and Octavia's litter
Parent dogs
Octavia, mom
Boston Terrier
About Octavia
US CH - USA/American Conformation Champion Octavia is a wonderful example of the Boston Terrier breed—both in looks and temperament. She is affectionate, intelligent, and well-mannered, with a friendly personality that makes her a joy to live with. She has done beautifully in the show ring and is just as comfortable on the couch as she is in the spotlight. More than anything, she’s a loving companion and an exceptional mother—nurturing, gentle, and attentive with her puppies.
