How To Find Good Boston Terrier Breeders

By Paul Wallace


Boston Terriers are a very popular breed of dog ever since it was created over a century ago. They are gentle friendly companions that were originally bred to become fighting dogs. The markings that they have on their body looks like a tuxedo gave them the nickname American Gentleman.

Because of this, many people are looking to buy one as a pet and companion. There are many sellers out there who sells puppies of this particular breed but finding a reputable one is the key of having a long living healthy dog. You can search for the best Boston Terrier breeders Florida has to offer by asking them some questions like the following examples.

You could start by asking them how long have they been breeding Bostons and if they have bred others as well. Those who tends to switch breeds depending on the popularity every couple of years better be avoided. Look for someone who has experience on the breed you are interested in or in similar breeds.

Question them of any congenital defect that their dogs may have. Most breeds have at least one and failing to identify and do some corrective measures shows their lack of experience and sincerity as a breeder. They should have their breeding stock tested and avoid those who have not because it may have a genetic problem.

Check if the parents of the puppies are in good and clean conditions and are also healthy. Ask if the parents have any achievement points in dog shows and what are the good qualities that they have. You can trust a good breeder to enumerate not only the best points of their dogs but also the flaws that may be passed down to their puppies.

Inquire about where the puppies have been raised. Ideally, it is best if they were raised in the house or somewhere that they will be used to the daily activities of a normal household. The puppies should be able to have socialized with them and other dogs and have faced new situations and household activities for them to easily adjust and learn.

Good breeders always plan their breeding and know when is the expected date they will have new puppies for sale. They do not have more than 2 liters at a time to make sure that the puppies will be healthy and genetic problems will be tested and taken care off. This will assure them that they can take care of each one of them properly and you will be able to get a healthy puppy.

Ask what guarantee they can give to you about the puppy that you want. They should be able to tell you if it has any genetic problem or not and assure you that it is healthy. They should also be willing to take it back for any reason that you will have of returning the puppy because an ethical breeder should always make sure that a puppy has a good home.

Puppies can usually be taken home in 9 to 12 weeks after their birth. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask the breeder. They are more than willing to assist you in giving your new friend a great home with you.
