Announcing our newest litter.  Scarlet (photo in red) and Bubba (photo in blue) are the proud parents of 7 beautiful puppies .  The puppies are currently black/white – like their daddy -  but will probably have some brindle when fully grown.

These little cuties will be ready to go home in late March.  I will post photos/videos as soon as the puppies are up and running around (normally around 4 – 5 weeks).  These guys will be small.  Mommy weighs approx 17 lbs and daddy weighs approx 14 lbs.

I have already taken one deposit for 1st pick on this litter.  If you are interested in one of these puppies you can click on the following link.

At Puppies Dot Com it is our goal to improve the boston terrier breed with the full intent of keeping a puppy from the litter with which to continue our efforts. We do not breed to make money, in fact I put ever dime I collect – and more – back into my available puppies breeding program. If you don’t believe me, I’ll gladly give you my accountants name and phone number. I don’t breed to supply the pet market during a wave of breed popularity, to give the kids a sex education, or simply because I happen to have two dogs of the same breed on the premises. Our adult dogs are trained and compete in local events. These competitions include licensed dog shows, Obedience Rally Competition, Agility Competition field trials, Therapy work and Service work. AKC and or ACA registration papers guarantees that our dogs are purebred, however it does not guarantee or imply quality or breeding value. The competition and service training I provide for my available puppies and adult dogs helps me gauge whether a given dog is worthy of being bred; whether it offers the breed virtues that are worth reproducing. We screen our buyers to ensure that the available puppies we have worked so hard to breed and raise goes to a home that is going to love and care for the puppy as much as we would. We take great care to make sure that oue buyers are aware of both the positive and negative attributes of their breed. To some, this screening process may seem intrusive, some will have you complete lengthy questionnaires. But when you are buying an available puppies from a reputable breeder one is to a large degree becoming part of that breeder’s extended family. Much like a godparent, we will contact you from time to time as to how the puppy is progressing. And like a godparent, we will look forward to our buyers sending us pictures and keeping us appraised of the puppy’s progress. In other words when you buy a puppy from Puppies Dot Com you are as much buying a part of us as you are an available puppy – we come as a package deal. But unlike a birth parent, when you purchase a dog you have the luxury of picking a breed that is right for you. There is much to be considered in choosing the right breed for yourself, and that will be covered in more detail in this article. A reputable breeder will be honest with you about the good and bad aspects of their breed. You need to be equally as honest, both with yourself and with us, as to your needs, expectations, and experience, as all of these will factor in the determination of not only what breed is right for you but choosing a puppy from within a litter. Once you have decided that you want to adopt a dog, the next step will obviously be to decide where you are going to buy it from. While pet shops are the most common and easily available points of purchase, the discerning buyer will rather go in search of a breeder. In fact, choosing the right breeder precedes choosing the right pup. The reputable breeder knows his or her pups better than anyone and can best match our available puppies personality and abilities with an owner’s personality and expectations. So how do you set about finding the right breeder, the one who will be able to fix you up with a puppy who is healthy and in sync with your personality. Well, the first thing you should do is start enquiring from other pet owners in your area. A satisfied dog owner is your best guarantee to the quality of a breeder. Ask around and you are sure to be able to obtain the name of one or more reputable breeders. Other than from owners, you are likely to get valuable inputs from the local kennel club. Obviously, this is where dog owners will congregate and you will get advice from the horse’s mouth. Nobody can give you more cogent advice than someone who has been through the process. And, being a kennel club, the members are certain to be dog lovers who could pass on other tips to you as well. These two suggestions apart, the local veterinarian is also likely to be a big help in your search for the right breeder. After all, he is the one who has the best idea about the dogs of the neighborhood – which have turned out well and which haven’t. And consequently, he will be in the know of which breeders have been able to supply high quality dogs and who have supplied inferior types. Also, he will know if a particular breeder is ethical in his dealings and would be prepared to replace the puppy or refund your money if any genetically-linked illness occurs at any time during the animal’s life. But above all, you should do some homework on your own before you go and meet a breeder. Know something about the breed you’re interested in so that you will be able to discuss the various aspects of the adoption process with the breeder rather than accepting everything he says at face value. And the dialogue will become more meaningful for you if you know the basics of what he is talking about. Don’t have all your discussions with the breeder off-site. You should visit the kennel in which he keeps his dogs. Ensure that the kennel is clean and doesn’t smell foul. If you find that the breeder has a very large number of dogs and puppies kept in his kennels, beware! He may be what is known as a backyard breeder. A backyard breeder is someone who breeds because they believe their dog needs to have a litter to “feel complete”or because they want to make a quick buck. They may be breeding dogs that are purchased from good breeders, but they are usually breeding dogs without a lot of knowledge about breeding. When you go to meet the breeder, insist on seeing the whole litter and at least one of the parents. Examine the available puppies and the parent carefully to ensure that they at least look healthy. Needless to say, you will have to do your homework in respect of the health of the puppy and have him thoroughly checked out by a vet but, for starters, a quick visual examination will give you an idea of the type of puppies the breeder is trying to sell to you. Has he been feeding them well? Has he been looking after their health? A good look will give you some measure of reassurance about the quality of the breeder’s animals. An important point to be also noted is whether the puppies appear to be afraid of the breeder. That could be an eye-opener for you about the treatment that is being meted out at that particular breeder’s kennel. While you are at the breeder’s place, you should ask him to provide references. Don’t feel embarrassed about this. You are in the process of bringing a dog home – an animal who is going to be your companion for all it’s life. Surely you owe it to yourself to check out whether the breeder has given satisfaction in the past. So go ahead and ask and call the references given.
