About our Puppies & Placement

Last Revision of this page – 5-3-26

Changes coming up…..

Beginning Fall season of 2026, we are upgrading and revising our Boston Terrier breeding program. This is a short summary of changes that will be made beginning any litter born after August 2026. 

  BREEDING PROGRAM MILESTONES – We finally have all that we aspired to have in a breeding program! We have been very patient in the past 15 years of  breeding out undesirable traits and features and with a focus in good health and temperament as a top priority. The goal has always been to greatly improve the breed. Any breeder should want the puppies to surpass the parents in looks and temperament.

SUPPLY & DEMAND – While in the past people generally reach for the males first.  This has changed and people are mostly reaching over the boys for the girls now. This is affecting the upcoming new prices. 

Males – Our prices of $1600 will remain at this price for males placed as pets through 2027. Males placed in show homes will be priced at $3000

Females –  Prices for females placed as pets will be $1800. Females placed in show homes will be $2800

Super Small Boston Terriers – In addition due to our producing super small Boston Terriers, they are in huge demand. I will say that the weight standards are 12lb to 25lb and this is our goal. We dp not or even cannot even control getting super small pups as they run in our lines naturally. A lot of people always want to know the size of the parents but honestly speaking, that is not a fire proof setting for pups growing up to be the same size. Also from us, the breeder end, there is no way to determine new borns to be super small. The true sizing starts showing up at 3 weeks of age and those that are larger just sprout up larger. It’s also important to share that super small pups are more complicated to raise and cause us a great deal of extra work. In most cases they end up staying with us 12-14 weeks to ensure they have enough weight for resilence in switching home environments. We have to strive with the person wanting the super small puppy. For all the reasons mentioned and then some additional reasons such as extra vaccines, etc, we will place both male and female super small pups at $2000. 

PRICING NOTES: Our dogs require c-sections for puppy arrivals which can range between $800 {rare} to $1800 but generally around $1000. Puppy health check ups $50. Parents patella and other health checks including such as heart worm testing, etc $100 per dam and sire each. With this, foods, vaccine, dewormers, heartwormer, etc throughout the year are taken into account. New bedding, vitamin supplements, health care meds and vet visits when needed are all accounted for in our pricing.  Trips to our vets is 3 hours there and back again. All of this has gone up in pricing and it forces us to have to increase appropriately on our pups.

Due to our new all online registrations this page was updated January 1, 2025

Our Puppy Costs and Reserve and Registration

Our puppy prices are not the highest or the lowest in our area. Prices are set on the expense via veterinarian c-sections and other care; general care for dogs/puppies including foods, supplements, facility, vaccines, teeth cleaning, microchipping ect.  Also included is health testing as we do have our foundation dogs patellas checked and cleared by vet along with a clear test results for JHC (Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts).

We do all of our puppy registrations via online at AKC website. We require full name, address, email and phone number to complete this. Our application is found here on our website Puppy Application. Some are prepaid and others are digital, but all must be completed by the new puppy owner. Each registration are issued after puppy goes home per mention below in the types of puppy acquired. Either a link or reg form will be sent to new puppy family via their email. We will notify you via text that it has been sent to you. 

AKC Pet Limited is registration from AKC as a pet. Pedigrees can be purchased online from AKC even for pet limited and registration papers are issued upon spay or neuter. Our pricing for all of our puppies is $1500 to $1800. (We are considering issue of this type of registration sooner and omitting waiting for spay/neuter in very near future).

AKC Full Registration is also from AKC and is open for breeding. Meaning that puppies coming from these lines may be registered with AKC. Papers for full breeding rights are issued within two weeks of going home. The costs of our females with full rights is $2800 and our males are $3000. 

AKC Full Registration Show Potential is also from AKC and open for breeding. A contract is generally involved for owning one of ours for show. Papers for full breeding rights are issued within two weeks of going home. The costs of our females with full rights $2800 and males $3200.

Reserve Your Puppy is when you choose a puppy you wish to bring home and to reserve in. your name until go home time. This ultimately removes this puppy from being available to other potential pet families. The fee for reserve is $350 or $700 depending on which type of puppy is or puppies are being acquired and is not refundable. It is a fee and not puppy payment, but we will honor the reserve payment as deductible from the total cost of puppy upon balance due when time for pup to go home. 

Puppy’s General Health & Guarantee

The parents of our puppies are all JHC, patella and cardio clear. NOTE: We make random unexpected noises from various direction to check hearing responses to ensure our puppies can hear. We can provide BAER (hearing) testing for puppies if requested, but there is an additional $175 advance non-refundable charge as it will involve an entire day of travel and exam.

Our puppies arrive to their new homes in good health and vet approved. We give our new puppy owners up to 72 hours to take your new puppy to your personal vet for general check up after puppy arrives home to verify. If a puppy should develop a life threatening congenital condition within the first year of life, we will replace the puppy. Veterinary communications and reports will be required before replacement is approved.

Wormers and Vaccines are up to date when you receive your puppy and a health report documenting previous treatments will be provided in order for the new puppy owner to continue treatments as needed.

Puppy’s Going Home

Most of our puppies are generally ready to go home beginning a day after the 8 week mark. The super small ones may be held back until 10-12 weeks as we want them to have some size on them before they arrive to new homes. We will hold puppies up to 10 weeks for new puppy owners. We can hold longer, but there is a $10 daily fee for puppy sitting due to the extra work of having to spend more time with lonesome puppy, including more money on vaccines, dewormers and foods ect. We may hold puppies for those traveling out of state a bit longer cost free but only with notice from us. All puppies cost in full is due upon pick up but if we are holding your reserved puppy longer than 10 weeks, the full price is due at 8 weeks of age. 

We will notify the new puppy families in advance of time for puppy to go home and make arrangements for pick up date, place and time. We work as best we can when possible to accommodate all puppy pick ups as we will also drive within a reasonable distance to help shorten trips. If the puppy’s reserved person fails to respond to our texts, messages and calls within 48 hours then we are to assume this puppy is being abandoned by the one who reserved it. After 48 hours of no response, we will relist the puppy as available. If the original reserve person does not come forth within two weeks of our notify them for making pick up arrangements, then they forfeit the reserve fee they’ve paid on the puppy. It will not even count towards any future puppy and in such a case, we most likely will never consider placing a puppy with such a person. If a person does communicate with us and provide founded reasons they cannot pick up the puppy within a reasonable time, we will take into consideration and do our best to work with this unique situation. 

We prefer new puppy families to pick up their new puppy in person. We do not allow the public into our personal home space and for this and we will meet our new puppy owners in person with the puppy in a convenient location. We are willing to drive up to 1 hour any direction from Moselle MS to help reduce travel for new puppy owners.

If personal pick up is not an option, we offer alternatives in suggesting a door to door puppy nanny who can deliver directly to you in person. We also have an air nanny and we are happy to meet our puppy families at local airport.

We try to send food sampler, toys and blankets for those who travel, but cannot always guarantee it will arrive to them. Health Records and Diet are emailed in pdf form. AKC Reg papers are also emailed in PDF form. 

I hope we covered most of your questions and concerns here on this page, but if not feel free to contact me for anything further you may wish to know.

Thank you for making our puppy a family member!
