Hi!  My name is Jolie.  Ch Bleugras Jolie of Buena Vista, CGC, ROM*.
My Mom and Dad bought me back in the Fall of 2000 and that started our love affair.  I moved into their home filled with
Doberman Pinschers .....and took over.  I hope you enjoy my Web Site as I've tried to fill it with useful
information about our wonderful Breed.      Please read on.................
A very special Thank You........
I would like to Thank our very special friends Vicki, Sarah & Kip Kennedy of Kennedy Bostons.
First to Sarah, who saw the qualities that Jolie has and for showing her to her Championship.  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.   You took us under your wing
and helped us to get our breeding program off the ground.   Thank you for having enough faith in us to allow us to breed Jolie, Sophia, Diana &
Spirit to your boys: Teddy, Keeper, Stormy, Gater, Murphy, Tucker, and Indy.  And for allowing us to have Destiny and Cassie.     
We won't let you down!   You're The Best!

Health Certification Program Gold Award
We believe in Health Testing!  Please read why..........
Our Boston Terriers have all passed their Health Testing and the results are registered with OFA and CHIC.
We are very proud that we are on our 3rd generation of everyone testing "Clear" for BAER, CERF and Patella Luxation.

We received results back from having DNA testing for Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts.  Jolie, Sophia, Diana, Spirit and Destiny were tested
and they are not carriers of this dreadful disease. This test is only performed by The Animal Health Trust in England.
Kathryn Graves, Phd is working on getting a lab here in the US approved.  More details to follow as soon as this is accomplished.

Kendall wins Reserve Winners Bitch at
our Boston Terrier Club Of America
National Show held on May 21st and
Best Puppy on May 22nd, 2008.
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.
