Then to Vicki, Kip and Sarah.........Thank you for the wonderful loving home you provided to Jolie & Sophia during their stay with you and the great care you gave them.

| Here are short notes from people that have come to see my home and to meet me and my Bostons. They are either on my waiting list to purchase a puppy or have since bought a puppy from me. |
| Please beware of unscruplous breeders who try to sell off colored Bostons. There are many breeders trying to sell Cream, Blue and Red or Brown colored Bostons which are not recognized colors by the Boston Terrier Club of America or the American Kennel Club. They may say they are RARE and try to charge rates in the area of $1,500 or more. Please do not support their efforts as they do not have the best interest of the Boston Terrier in their hearts. They are breeding against the standard to fulfill their own greedy desires and agenda. Not what is in the best interest of the breed. |

| I am proud to say that we are one of the few Boston breeders in the United States that Health Tests all puppies produced before they leave for their new home. We drive to Chicago to have the BAER Hearing test performed and and have the CERF Eye Exam performed here in Denmark, WI by a Veterinary Opthomologist. These are generally performed between 10 & 12 weeks of age. To date all puppies have tested as Normal or Clear. Puppies have their Patellas tested after 1 year of age, as required by OFA. All of our Health Testing Results are registered with OFA and AKC through their CHIC Program, and are available for Public Review on their web sites. All of our dogs and all puppies sold, are permanently identified by AVID Micro-chips. I have also tested 13 of my adult Bostons using DNA, for the Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts and we do not carry the gene that produces them. 3 more of my Bostons are Clear By Parentage. We are on our 4th generation of healthy, happy Bostons. We only use Stud Dogs that have passed these same Health Tests, so we do not needlessly produce puppies that will have debilitating health issues to contend with. To read about how I care for my Bostons and the process of selecting a stud dog, breeding, raising and puppies going to their new homes, click here. |
