About Us
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you found us! My name is Lauren, and I am a lifelong animal lover and dedicated Boston Terrier enthusiast. My dogs are not kennel dogs; they are beloved members of my family, raised inside my home and involved in my daily life. I am not a farm, ranch, or large-scale breeding facility. I am a small, ethical, home-based breeder who is passionate about producing sound, healthy Boston Terriers who grow into exceptional family companions. My journey with this incredible breed began in 2004 when I brought home my first Boston Terrier and immediately fell in love. A year later, in 2005, I welcomed my very first litter — and from that moment on, I was hooked. Nearly two decades later, my love and commitment to the Boston Terrier breed is stronger than ever.
My Background & Experience
I have a professional background in Animal Sciences and over 17 years of hands-on Veterinary Services training, working directly alongside my close friend and veterinarian, Dr. Kathy Henderson, DVM at Alta Rancho Pet & Bird Hospital. I continue to collaborate with Dr. Henderson, and I encourage all prospective puppy families to contact her hospital for direct references — they can personally speak to the level of care, health standards, and dedication I provide to every one of my dogs. My years working in a veterinary environment have given me extensive experience in animal health, reproduction, husbandry, neonatal care, and emergency response. That knowledge directly translates into the way I raise my litters, from pregnancy and whelping to early socialization and readiness for adoption.
A Purposefully Small, Carefully Managed Breeding Program
I operate a extremely limited and intentionally small breeding program. My focus has always been quality over quantity:
✔ healthy dogs
✔ sound temperaments
✔ proper structure
✔ excellent early socialization
✔ and lifelong breeder support
Because of this, my puppies are raised with exceptional hands-on care, daily interaction, and training foundations that set them up for success. My goal is to send home a Boston Terrier puppy who is not only healthy and well-adjusted, but truly ready to become a cherished part of your family.
A Lifetime Commitment to Every Puppy
One thing that sets my program apart is my lifelong commitment to every puppy I produce. I am not the breeder who disappears after you bring your puppy home. I genuinely want updates, photos, and to stay connected throughout your dog’s life.
I will always take one of my puppies back, at any age, for any reason. My goal is to ensure none of my dogs ever end up in shelters, rescues, or unsafe situations. When you adopt from me, you gain a partner for life.
Health, Screening, and AKC Standards
I am in good standing with the American Kennel Club, and all puppies leave with:

WHAT A BREEDER CHARGES FOR THEIR PUPPIES
By Tanisha Breton
I think it's safe to say that most of us are not rich, and we all appreciate a good deal. Why not? Blowing money unnecessarily is just a waste, and most of us enjoy finding a bargain even if we can afford to spend more. When shopping for cars, electronics, furniture or even a pet, frugal living is the way of the wise these days. So, what’s the big deal about shopping around when looking for a puppy? Because the price you pay for a healthy well-bred puppy is minimal compared to the veterinarian cost for the life of a dog that's ill-bred, sickly and the bitterness of a poor-quality dog will linger long after the sweetness of a cheap price is forgotten. Ever heard the saying, "You get what you pay for?" well, the pet dog industry is one place you won't find a better example of the prudence of that advice. Quality in the breeding world can range anywhere from absolute crap to jaw-dropping fantastic - and everywhere in between and what you actually pay for a dog may cost you thousands in medical bills for a dog with a lifetime of health problems. Quality has never been cheap and buying a quality puppy certainly is not! You will have to expect to pay more than just a few hundred dollars to buy from a responsible breeder.
There are several factors that go into the price of buying a puppy from a good breeder. The ever increasing price of top notch veterinary care is one of the main reasons, many breeders spend thousands upon thousands each year at the vets. Not to mention the money that goes into a breeders breeding stock, to produce quality dogs. A breeder has to buy quality dogs, feed high-quality diets, pre-natal exams, pregnancy x-rays, supplements, whelping, breeding, puppy supplies, emergency veterinary care, C-sections, assisted whelping’s when complications arise, vaccination for adults and the puppies, health testing, routine blood-work, dental cleanings, veterinary exams, health checks for each puppy at least twice, sometimes 3 times if you can imagine this is just the short list of costs, but it gives you an idea.
Most responsible breeder cannot breed a female until she's almost 2 years old and due to the fact toy breeds have typically such small litter sizes with two puppies, three if your lucky now divide all those expenses by the number of puppies and even at $2,500 most responsible breeders are lucky if they even break even. Responsible breeders of any breed are lucky to break even.
Well, bred dogs are expensive to breed, even poorly bred dogs are not cheap to breed. For toy breeds especially they often need a C-section for the birth that can cost $2,000 or more and an after hours emergency C-section can cost upwards of $5,000- $7,000. In addition, there is the cost of care for the dam during pregnancy and after birth which can add more unexpected expenses if the mother develops a life threatening post partum complication such as metritis, eclampsia or mastitis. If a breeder is breeding responsibly there will be health, genetic testing before breeding.
The average litter can cost $2,500 or more to breed by the time all is said and done. Often the case many toy breeders are susceptible to neonatal loss because the puppies are so tiny and require so much intervention to survive causing more economical loss for a breeder.
Any purebred dog will be expensive when you purchase a dog from a reputable breeder, you have to remember that the breeder has already spent a good amount of money on veterinary care for the mother and the pups, which will be reflected in the price of the puppy. Pre-breeding health checks for both parents, stud fees, prenatal care, initial vet visits, shots, wormings, food, and all the other things that the breeder takes care of long before you ever get to bring your puppy home which cost a lot of money.
So What is a breeder's time worth?
It is estimated that the average breeder spends 120 hours per month caring for their dogs and pups. Hours that cannot be scheduled around other obligations; other obligations must be scheduled around your puppies.The small size of toy breed puppies make them susceptible to hypoglycemia and death during the first three months of life. Small breed puppies require a lot of hands on care which includes round-the-clock hand feeding, daily weight checks, administering subcutaneous fluids, monitoring temperature and constant assessment of neonatal well-being.
Having a litter of puppies for any breeder takes a considerable chunk of time and independence from your life. A good breeder will carefully screen and interview all potential buyers to ensure that their puppies get placed in only the best homes. They will also offer support to the puppy's new family to make sure they are adequately prepared to care for the puppy, offer tips on potty training, feeding, hypoglycemia prevention, discipline and in the event the family can no longer care for the puppy they will assist in finding a new home placement or accept the puppy back into their home. Look at the expense you pay for a new puppy as an investment into your emotional health. You couldn't get any mental health professional to treat you daily for the next 15 years for $2,500.
Breeders know the quality of their puppies and what they are producing and are not willing to negotiate the value of their dogs. Not to mention not just anyone can walk up, pick up a toy breed and take it home. They are high maintenance, fragile, difficult to potty train, require daily grooming and dental care due to their small teeth but for the right family it will be the best emotional investment which is priceless!
Good puppies start long before their parents are bred. Both the sire and dam need constant care, or conditioning, to produce the best offspring. This means regular veterinary care, screening for genetic problems, pre-breeding health tests, regular exercise and good nutrition. Animals, not in good health, fed proper nutrition can experience fertility, pregnancy, and whelping complications. Many breeders swear by the belief that the dam's temperament affects the puppies and good puppies come from good mothers therefore a breeder will avoid breeding shy, unstable or aggressive dogs.
Quality dogs are expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, and expensive to breed so NO BREEDER SHOULD ever have to explain or justify their prices. Much goes into the breeding of dogs and the price a breeder is asking for their puppies is up to their discretion. Whether it's $500 or $3,500 every breeder knows what they've invested into their dogs, how much they've paid, and the quality of puppies they are producing. When looking at purchasing a puppy you can't just consider the cost of the puppy but also the breeder overall expenses to just achieve that litter. As the old saying goes you get what you pay for and exceptional quality Is not expensive, it's PRICELESS!
