Coloured boston terriers

Over the last decade we have established a firm breeding plan with an emphasis that our puppies are bred with H. What is bred with H. To ensure this goal is attained we have taken all steps necessary to certify the health of all of the dogs within our breeding program in accordance to the recommendations of the Boston Terrier Club of America.

Prospective puppy families always receive copies of parent's certifications and accompanying puppy's health tests at time of adoption. When we began raising Boston Terriers of color there was not a network of breeders that could be sourced for assistance. Having experienced this lack of ability to find help we consider it our duty to be a source of education for those individuals who have questions and are unsure of who to turn to.

We take pride in helping others and being a continual source of information for fanciers of the Boston Terrier breed. There has been a strange movement happening in the world of Boston Terriers over the pat few years. They are purposely breeding hundreds likely thousands of "red", "blue", cream", "lilac", "champagne", "fawn", and "splash" Boston Terriers. Since these colors are considered disqualifiying faults and completely go against the breed standard the very definition of the Boston Terrier , breeding them could never be done with the purpose of improving the breed.

Unfortunately it is often done for profit. They all make good pets and I will get the same fun and enjoyment no matter what color my Boston Terrier is! Please leave a comment below as to what your favorite color Boston Terrier would be!

There were blue, red, brown, white, seal, splash, chocolate and merle. So what are your choices? Keep reading …….

I wanted to make sure that I was getting the correct information from the right sources. The standard colors that they list are: Brindle with white markings Seal with white markings Black with white markings And not only does the Boston Terrier have to have these colors but they need to be in a specific pattern on the dog as well.

Plus the dogs must have black noses. Here is what the Boston Terrier Club of America has to say: Brindle, seal, or black with white markings. Show breeders are not trying to exterminate Bostons of a. Though many of these colors do occur naturally in the Boston breed and can crop up in a litter of two champion dogs from many generations of standard colored dogs, there are also some Bostons of disqualifying colors that have a little too much resemblance of another breed.

When something is promoted as "rare", puppy mills and profit breeders jump in with enthusiasm. What easier way to get a "rare" color than to toss another breed of that rare color into the mix? This is not to say that all Bostons of those colors are not purebred. I know for a fact there are many who are.

However I have personally seen and still find photos of "Bostons" that clearly resemble Frenchies, Pit Bulls and even Chihuahuas. When a breeder is new to producing Bostons of these disqualified colors, how can they be certain that five generations back, one of those dogs wasn't a different breed, resulting in foundation stock that is not purebred?

Remember when I said in , I saw red Boston puppies in about 1 out of 10 ads? At least of them are of various disqualified colors including blue, cream, fawn, splash, champagne, and lilac. Having seen this from its early stages to today has caused my personal opinion to go from, "Oh, that's interesting" to "What the heck is going in?

What does all of this mean for the future of the breed? My personal feeling is that the world does not need anyone to purposely breed only pets, especially in such large quantities, since we have plenty of homeless pets right now who would appreciate the chance for a home.
