If the price is too high and you're still interested in loving a Boston or a Boxer, PLEASE consider Boston Terrier rescue and Boxer rescue. You may also want to consider a retired dog from a registered and reputable breeder...

If you're not really sure whether a Boston or a Boxer is really for you and are willing to consider other breeds, please consider rescuing a puppy/dog from a recognized rescue organization and give these dogs a chance at a better life (see our Links page)!

Please do not fill out a questionnaire if you're looking for a "cheap" puppy/dog and are considering getting one unregistered!                                                                

 Boston Terrier- Companion Puppy

 Boxer - Companion puppy

Our puppies are already spayed and neutered prior to adoption because we care! This is the only way we can be SURE that we're not conributing to backyard breeding, puppy mills, pet stores and the overpopulation of animal shelters.

Research suggests that there is no difference between spaying/neutering at 8-12 weeks of age and 6-8 months (or under a year of age), given that puppies have not reached sexual maturity at either of these ages. There is no scientific/biological reason for spaying/neutering at 6 months of age. Rather, this age was originally suggested as it's usually before a female's first "heat" cycle and when the puppy is at the largest size and youngest age. More specifically, six months of age is the age that most Veterinarians feel competant and comfortable spaying and neutering a puppy. Also, before modern technnology and advances in Veterinary science, spaying and neutering puppies at young ages was risky with regards to hypoglycemia (as a result of needing to be "fasted") and anesthetic. Now, it's suggested that spaying and neutering puppies at younger ages is less risky (as they do not need to be under anesthetic as long), there is less chance of complications and recovery time is much faster.
