I'm Baelie Q., the breeder behind Quinn's Kennels located in Gibson City, IL. We offer health tested AKC Boston Terriers. I have a brown brindle mom, lilac dad, and a fawn female we just added to the group! We work hard to breed exemplary dogs that are well taken care of from day one and are prepared to excel in loving and caring homes. We love our dogs and puppies, and we strive to place each pup in a home suited to their temperament and ability.
Q. & A. with Baelie
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my male first, Oliver, then I saw a sign as I went to pick him up that someone was selling more Bostons and somehow I came home that day with 2. I ended up obsessed with their tempers and noticed how loving Harper was to puppies. I thought to myself I want to bring the same happiness into homes they brought into mine.
What makes your program special?
I breed not for the money but so people can have a long healthy life with their fur babies. What makes me special is I treat my puppies like they are mine what I mean by that is they learn early to pad train to be around kids other animals walking plus roaming a whole house when they've gotten shots.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are seal brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Baelie was so professional, friendly and easy to work with. What a blessing our experience was; it was quick and easy, and we could not be happier. Olive is settling in so nicely; she loves her 2 brothers (Cat - Gibson and Dog - Rocko) and plays nicely.
