Do Boston Terriers have breathing problems?

Boston Terriers are a brachycephalic breed, meaning they have a shorter muzzle and a flatter facial structure. Because of this, they can be prone to certain breathing issues, especially in poorly bred lines. Common concerns include:

Brachycephalic airway syndrome — narrowed nostrils, elongated soft palate, or other airway restrictions

Heat sensitivity — they can overheat more easily

Exercise intolerance — some may tire quickly in hot or humid weather

However, responsible breeding makes a huge difference. Well‑bred Bostons with correct nostril structure, proper head shape, and good airway genetics often live active, healthy lives with minimal breathing issues.

Your program’s focus on correct head type, open nostrils, and AKC‑standard structure helps reduce these risks significantly.

Can I visit before my turn?

For safety and biosecurity reasons, we do not allow in‑home visits. However, we have met families in a public location if seeing a puppy beforehand helps them feel confident in moving forward. Please understand that handling is extremely limited until puppies are fully vaccinated, and interactions are kept brief to protect their health.

If your ability to secure a puppy depends on meeting beforehand, please know that our 24‑hour deposit window still applies once it is your turn to pick. We do not extend this timeframe to schedule visits. If the deposit is not placed within 24 hours of being offered a puppy, your turn will be skipped and offered to the next person on the waitlist.

Do you ship?

We don't ship puppies as cargo. Pickup is here, or we can arrange a flight nanny, ground transport or may be able to meet with a travel fee

What colors do you have?

Mostly black and white, with an occasional seal or brindle. Color doesn't change price.
