Gwen W.

Breeder of Boston Terriers and French Bulldogs

Meet the breeder

I'm Gwen W., the breeder behind Weywood Show Dogs located in Ligonier, PA. We offer top quality, loving Frenchies and Bostons. Our goal is to produce sound good tempered dogs that do well in the show ring.

Q. & A. with Gwen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My daughter, Janee, and my mom are all involved in the sport of dogs. We have owned Boston Terriers since 1996, but Bostons have been in our family since the 1920's when my great grandmother raised them. Every generation since, Grandma Pearl, has owned at least one Boston.

  • What makes your program special?

    We believe in health testing our dogs to ensure that when they are bred, the parents are free from common hereditary diseases. These tests include, but are not limited to CERF, patella, and BAER hearing testing. We are currently in the process of DNA testing our dogs for the gene that carries the early onset Juvenile Cataract (DNA for JC) and a few more tests for the Frenchies. Our goal is to produce quality, sound, good-tempered dogs that do well in the show ring.

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

    French Bulldog puppies include brindle, cream, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    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 (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
