I'm Anna D. P., the breeder behind Sleepwalker Bostons located in Kingsport, TN. We raise every Boston litter in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever families. Our dogs are Vet Checked, DNA breed & health tested, and JHC clear. We offer AKC registrations, Health Guarantees, and lifetime support.
Q. & A. with Anna D.
Why did you start breeding?
I decided to start raising Bostons because of my immense love for this breed. I have had at least one traditional black and white Boston as a pet for almost 30 years now. My youngest child, my daughter, Lily, decided she loved the different colors of Bostons so we expanded our program to include those colors as well. I feel like we have such a variety. There is something for every Boston lover.
What makes your program special?
All of my Boston babies are treated as my own until the day I place them with their new families. There is no such thing as "not getting attached" here. I think the deep attachment that we feel for each one carries over and helps them to be more confident and happy in their new families and lives. I encourage updates and staying in touch privately or through my online puppy community. It makes me so happy to watch my babies grow in their new homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, lilac, blue, seal brindle and white, seal and white, brindle and white, black brindle and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Anna was amazing to work with! She was so responsive and answered all of my questions. She shares photos of the pups every step of the way, which was one of our favorite parts! You can feel how much she cares about her dogs and makes it a loving safe environment. We are so happy with our whole experience and have our beautiful girl at the end of the journey! Thank you Anna and family!

Anna with Sleepwalker Bostons was a pleasure to interact with for the entire process of having Fergie join our family. She was available with very prompt replies with any questions and set up FaceTime video chats at a scheduled time that worked for your family if needed. She sent out weekly updates with a lot of individual photos of each puppy and each puppies weight in a private Facebook group. It was nice to see the interaction with all the families. She also sent out many photos and videos during the week of the puppies and their mom, Serana. She kept in touch through the entire process and was so accommodating with establishing a Puppy Pick Up date that worked with our family. Finally, she even provided our family with a gift basket which contained items I forgot to pack for the ride back home. We are enjoying each day with our new little baby Fergie. You can just tell Anna and her family gave Fergie and her siblings so much love by the amount of love Fergie gives us and how easily she is settling in to our family.
