Our Story

Welcome to our online home and thank-you for taking the time to read about us, our experience, our philosophy and our goals. We have tried to make this site as informative as possible. However, our site should not be seen as a means to sell puppies. Rather, it's meant to showcase our dogs and their accomplishments, our breeding program and our philosophy and goals. After all, you're not just adopting/buying a puppy, but also, the ethics and integrity of the breeder! So thank-you in advance, for your time and doing your due diligence to research our breed and ourselves as breeders, to determine suitability! 

It's our priority to breed for health, temperament and companionship, with the hopes of producing dogs/pups for show. It's our intention to produce the healthiest, world class dogs. Thus, we breed to improve the breed and feel that the only "good" reason to breed, is to improve the breed. We breed to the breed standard, not trends (colour, etc.) and feel that "quality never goes out of style". We do not "cut corners" and our dogs get the best in health, food and medical care.

We feel that nutrition is of the utmost importance and we feed our puppies/dogs a high quality holisitic diet, supplemented with NuVet Plus (and NuJoint Plus) and homecooked  or dehydrated raw toppers. We feed our dogs fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, cooked meat, eggs, cheese, yogurt, sardines, coconut oil, fish oil, etc. We raise our puppies/dogs as naturally as possible and like our own preventative health care, we favor herbal medicine over routine conventional chemical treatments/medications whenever possible. There is no replacement for proper Veterinary care however!

In consideration of the holistic Veterinary literature regarding minimum duration of (vaccine) immunity (literature suggests it's 7-15 years!), we follow a minimal vaccine schedule (core vaccines only) and vaccine titering if favor of automatic yearly vaccinations. We're passionate about promoting the health and longevity of our dogs/lines and in addition to our health testing protocols, I am currently studying herbal medicine (human and animal) to learn about the safest and most natural means of health care.

In addition to a premium diet, natural health care and our health testing protocols, we feel that regular exercise and early socialization increases our puppies/dogs' general health (body and mind) and longevity.We're aiming to produce square middleweight (15-20 lbs) and "low end" heavyweight (20-22lbs) of good bone and substance. By not breeding closely related (they are all related at some point back in their pedigrees, as the breed was made by inbreeding) dogs, we hope to decrease the probability of congenital and genetic defects in our pups. A good Vet once told me that a breeder must consider (for their breeding program) what the world has to offer and not just what's in the locale. We took this to heart and go to great lengths and expense to increase the genetic variability in our breeding program.

We do recognize that there are "bad" out-crosses (breeding unrelated dogs) however and that sometimes a "loose" line-breeding (distantly related) is better than a "bad" outcross, as certain outcross breedings can also have the potential to bring out the bad traits in the sire and dam's bloodlines. A good breeder knows their bloodlines! All breeders of purebred dogs has/have had problems at some point and to some degree! If a breeder tells you they've never had a problem, they are not being truthful. It's how one deals with those problems that sets good breeders apart.

1. No inbreeding. Our pups are not inbred or heavily linebred.
2. Extensively Health tested parents! Our breeding stock is extensively health tested (indeed we have some of the most health tested dogs in Canada and the world over!) and we provide you with proof of these clearances. Our Bostons are DNA certified clear non-carriers of Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts!
3. Home-raised pups. Our puppies are whelped raised in our home, under foot and are well socialized with adults, children, cats, other dogs and are quite accustomed to household noises. Dogs raised in a home environment are a lot different than puppies raised in a kennel!
4. Stringent sanitary and disease prevention policies. We do not allow visitors when we have un-vaccinated puppies, pregnant mothers and during planned breedings (and avoid dog sporting events when we have puppies whenever possible!). Thus, we do not allow people outside of our family coming in and handling your pups and potentially exposing them to disease.
5. The best start in life. Our puppies get the best "start" in life. They're fed holistic TLC puppy food, NuVet supplements, de-wormed (at least three times prior to adoption), given a preventative for heartworm and external parasites and much more.
6. Healthy, well-tempered puppies. We breed for the "total dog" with an emphasis on health and temperament.
7. Money Back Guarantee. ​We offer a money back guarantee for the first year of life and not just a "blanket" puppy replacement.
8. Lifetime support.
9. A Positive experience. We provide puppy parents the opportunity to be involved/witness the growth of their puppy, through regular weekly communication, updates, photos/videos and we provide puppy care information, full disclosure and advice.
10. We're legit.​ We have a registered "business"/HST number and pay taxes. We have a registered kennel with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), are members of the CKC and the Boston Terrier Club of Canada and are in good standing.
