Meet the breeder

I'm Nicole J., the breeder behind Sassifras Boston Terriers located in Newton Grove, NC. Here at Sassifras Boston Terriers, we take pride in raising healthy and happy members of future families. Our dogs are our joy! Our very first Boston was Sassy, hence the name Sassifras Boston Terriers. She was the reason I fell in love with the breed and the start of making many families complete. We take a lot of pride in providing healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies. We only have a few litters a year so that each puppy gets the love and attention it deserves.
