Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle T., the breeder behind Toon’s Boston Terriers located in Coopertown, TN. Our family takes pride in our Boston Terriers. We love them like they are our children and they only get the best from us. Whether that’s treats, time, and attention. They demand it. We have been breeding since 2022 and looking to expand our Boston Terriers Program to 4 females within the next year. About Boston Terriers & Their Care Boston Terriers are affectionate, intelligent, people-oriented companion dogs who thrive on being part of the family. They are known for their playful personalities, expressive eyes, and the loyal bond they form with their humans. Because of their short coats and brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure, Boston Terriers have specific care needs every responsible owner should understand. They are sensitive to both heat and cold—unable to tolerate high temperatures due to breathing limitations, and quick to chill in cold weather because they lack an insulating undercoat. A Boston should always have access to shade and cool water in warm months and a cozy sweater or jacket in colder seasons. Their grooming routine is simple but important: weekly brushing to reduce shedding, routine wrinkle and facial cleaning to prevent irritation, and regular nail trims. They also need consistent vet care, including annual checkups, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and attention to common breed concerns such as allergies, eye irritation, and occasional digestive sensitivities. Boston Terriers are happiest when they are with their people, getting plenty of playtime, short walks, mental stimulation, and positive interaction. With proper care and love, they are one of the most delightful and loyal companions a family can bring home.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding after adopting a very poorly bred Boston Terrier. Her name was little Jen. She was deaf and had a cleft palate. She passed away from pancreatitis, and I was devastated. It took years before I could afford a well-bred Boston Terrier. Once I got my boy Bo, I knew I wanted to breed. I found his mate a year later. Bo and Dolly have had 4 litters, and she is retiring. I have not lost a puppy yet. I take pride in my Bostons.

  • What makes your program special?

    At Toon’s Boston Terriers, our puppies are raised in a loving, hands-on environment on our family farm in Tennessee. From the very beginning, they are surrounded by everyday life, other animals, and plenty of human interaction, helping them grow into confident and well-socialized companions. We place a strong focus on health, temperament, and early development, and we take pride in carefully matching each puppy with the right family. Our goal is to raise Boston Terriers that are not only beautiful representatives of the breed but also cherished members of their future homes. Toon’s Boston Terriers raised with love, intention, and a little bit of farm life.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red, lilac, blue, seal brindle and white, seal and white, black brindle and white, 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 and a kennel on my property.

    I must say that Toon’s Hobby Farm has been such a blessing for me and my husband. Michelle keeps you updated at all times. And anytime I had a question or wanted to know how things were going. She was right there. And always so kind, she shines a light of kindness and love. John and I have been without a dog for 9 years. After our boy Hank crossed the rainbow bridge, we were so heartbroken. When we found Good Dog and started following Toon’s Hobby Farm we just knew the time was right. And felt very comfortable and knew we had found a great breeder. Her dogs are beautiful and healthy. Her place is very clean, organized and inviting. She takes excellent care of her animals and works hard and loves them. She is an amazing person. I highly recommend her and her husband. John and I are so happy! Thank you Michelle!!! We love our boy Jack ❤️

    When it came time to search for our next furry companion I was glad to have found Good Dog. This was my first time and initially I was nervous but I am so grateful I came here and found Michelle and Toon's Boston Terriers. Michelle was great with communication and was easy to work with. I loved checking in to see new photos and video updates of the puppies to follow their journey. Michelle really cares for all of her animals and you can see that shine through. Thank you for all of your hard work, you do it right! We even received a puppy started bag that was so generous and thoughtful.Do your research, I am glad I did. Thank you so much for our sweet boy Benson, our new family member!

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Toons Boston Terriers and working with Michelle. From the very beginning, she was always quick to answer any questions I had and was happy to talk about Laney, the Boston Terrier puppy we purchased. One thing that really stood out was how responsive she was—she even sent me a video of my girl on the spot without even asking for it! Michelle provided updates on the litter several times a week through the app, which made me feel like I was right there watching Laney grow every step of the way. Despite caring for multiple litters, she somehow found the time to give every puppy attention while continuing to provide regular video updates. Her dedication and commitment are truly amazing. She was also incredibly accommodating when it came time to bring Laney home, graciously meeting me halfway for the pickup without any hesitation. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was kind, genuine, and a pleasure to work with. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for every Boston Terrier she breeds. Buying Laney from Michelle was, without a doubt, the best puppy-buying experience I could have asked for. She consistently goes above and beyond for both her puppies and their new families, and it absolutely shows. I highly recommend Toons Boston Terriers to anyone looking for a healthy, well-loved Boston Terrier from a breeder who truly cares.

    I am so grateful for Michelle! After losing our 13 year old Boston in September, my heart was ready for a new little one - miss Eleanor is the most perfect, sassy, agile, loving, crazy, snuggly little pup. I am truly obsessed - and it’s clear Michelle cares so much for her pups and their mamas, and she made the whole process smooth and easy. 10/10 recommend 🩷

    I had the best experience with Michelle! She communicated with ALL updates & questions I had in a timely manner. We got our sweet boy Rocky from her and he has been the perfect addition to our family. He was also the perfect surprise birthday present for my husband. We will definitely be using Toon’s again when the time comes and we want another pup!

    Michelle was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed and the process. From my initial inquiry to pickup, she kept us in the loop with lots of pictures, videos and updates. The care she gives her parents and pups is so evident in the confident, friendly puppy that came home to us. We could not be happier that we found Toon’s Boston Terriers!
