Boston Terriers

Boston Terriers

Our Bostons are yet another passion/obsession!

Bostons are the most amazing dogs ever put on this earth! Anyone who has ever had one knows exactly what I mean. We have been breeding them for over 20 years and are totally addicted to the puppies and our girls. If you come for a visit, don't wear shorts as you will be thoroughly greeted by our "herd" of Bostons and they love to jump. Something I have never been able to train any Boston not to do, so I've given up.

******************************************************************************************************************************

As addicted as we are to having puppies, we don't continually bred our girls and sometimes do not have a litter for years. Our dogs are all AKC registered and puppies are sold with their first shots, wormed and dewclaws removed. They are sold with full registration papers. We don't play games with restrictioned papers. The puppies are handled from day one and we play with them every day, all day when they are ready. Our babies are very well socialized before leaving. We start paper training them as soon as they can walk. Most have learned to sit and some even shake before leaving to their new lives.

We do not ship puppies. It is to traumatic for them. We have shipped goats all over the world and shipped animals are put in cargo where the temperatures get frigid and the pressure on their ears makes it a horrifying experience that we will never put our babies through.

We will not sell to puppy mills or kennels or even to those who keep them kenneled all day, so please, don't even inquire. Bostons have been bred for generations to be a companion dog and that they are! Their main goal in life are to be your best friend and please you. They do not belong in a kennel or in that kind of environment. They are people and need to be an important part of your family and loving home.

Helen Keller had the pleasure of being loved by one of these amazing dogs whose name was Phiz.

puppy pictures from the past.

Starfire's Dora

Our little Dora gave birth to her first and last litter of puppies in February of 2008. Dora tried to nurse both her mother's litter and her sister, BB's two litters, so we finally let her have her own. She had to have a c-section and unlike most Boston Terrier breeders, we will not put our dogs through that on purpose, so she was spayed. Dora has OCD... she is constantly licking, so much so that she has worn her front teeth out! Most Bostons do and we named our first Boston Licorice for that very reason, but Dora goes above and beyond that. She just can't keep that tongue in her mouth so if you come for a visit, expect a thorough cleansing and some French kissing.

Starfire's Panda Bear

Panda is the sweetest dog you can imagine. She is an absolutley beautiful dog! We would love to someday get her in the show ring, but time will tell. Our beautiful Panda was stolen in August of 2010 by Boston breeders in our area. Thankfully all our dogs are chipped and the breeder decided it was to risky to keep her with all the ads and posters I had out. So in a very strange transaction that seemed like a late night drug deal at the Giant parking lot, we got her back! I never did find out where she was actully held, although I have a pretty good idea. Aside from being horribly tramatized and a bad case of fleas, she was returned unharmed. The fleas are gone and she is back to being our beautiful, sweet baby girl.

Starfire's Lil'Miss Independence

Ahh, Lil'Miss... what can we say? At a very early age, 4 1/2 weeks, she decided she was NOT one of "THEM"! Since we only had three puppies in her litter, we left the whelping box door open so they could come and go as they pleased all the time. From the time she could walk, she would stay in the living room with us and almost never paid any attention to the other pups who were still not confident enough to venture far from the box alone. The other two stayed very close to the box for a few more weeks, not Miss! She has a whole different outlook on life and she is the complete and total center of that life. She keeps us laughing with her behavior that sometimes gets her the nickname, "Lil' Witch"!

Starfire's Miss-A-Pippi

Pippi is just as sweet as her mother, Panda and then some. Nothing like her sister, Pippi is fine with whatever you want to do. Happily goes along with everything you do. She sat outside in the cold along side of us while we burnt limbs that came down in one of the storms, but did cozy up next to the fire in the center picture. Right picture is of her being a daddy's baby. Hazen put it as simple as anyone when he said she was so cute you could just eat her up! She is our cute and cuddly little princess.

China is our city girl, belonging to Kris and Jeremy but when she comes home to the farm, you can occasionally find her dipping her head into the Calf milk replacer or chicken feed. She didn't think anyone would notice a little white powder all over her face!

These are a few of our favorites through the years;

Starfire's Miss Millie Starfire's Miss Attitude

Millie and her granddaughter Missy were two of the most amazing

dogs we have ever had the pleasure of being loved by. There are no words to express the love these two brought into our lives nor how much we miss them.

Starfire's BBG (Beautiful Baby Girl!)

BB was a wonderful mother and nursed her mother's litters before she ever gave birth herself. She actually came into milk every time which amazed our vet. Nothing surprises us when it comes to these amazing dogs. They will mother anything if given the chance. After having her leg amputated March 2009, BB lost her battle with cancer.
