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.

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    This experience was amazing! From start to finish Michelle was responsive, knowledgeable, and excited about entire process. We absolutely love our Boston terrier and couldn’t have picked a better breeder. Thank you Toon’s Boston Terriers!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Michelle Toon. She was incredibly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Transportation was handled seamlessly, and our sweet Boston Terrier, Poppy, was delivered right on the day we were celebrating Christmas with our kids. The timing could not have been more perfect — it truly felt magical and made for the best surprise. Poppy is the sweetest little pup and has already become such a special part of our family. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to Michelle for everything she did to help make this possible. Thank you, Michelle!
