Breedings
We Have Puppies For Sale!
Before using our boston terriers in our breeding program, we closely evaluate them and make sure that they meet and exceed the breed standards. You will never see us breeding boston “bull” terriers based on the color of it’s coat. Today there are many colored breeders out there that will focus their breeding goals on color and producing rare or uncommon boston terrier colors. But here at Blue Water’s we feel that to produce a healthy boston terrier that is correct in conformation and functionally healthy, you cannot focus on coat color. Thus we do not put together breedings to try and achieve a rare color, but rather we focus on the health and structure of the boston terriers. Not to say that boston terriers with rare colors are not breeding quality, many have good conformation however color should never be the top priority when producing a litter. If we do breed to a colored boston terrier, it’s only because they meet our requirements in temperament, health and conformation. If a dog does not meet our standards/criteria, we will have it spayed or neutered and although it may still be our boston terrier pet, it will be eliminated from the blue water’s breeding program and thus preventing that dog from reproducing undesirable t-cup or small boston terrier traits to future generations.

→↓ How come Colored & Traditional Boston Terriers cost so much?↓ ←
Colored &TraditionalBostonTerriers, Are more expensive to purchase than other breeds and you may wonder why. The reason is because this breed have relatively small litters, typically 1-5 puppies. This breed most often require c-sections costing $500-$2,000 (depending on where you live). Many “backyard breeders” who advertise in the local news paper will produce and sell puppies for less because they do not test for temperament or health issues, like BAER, CERF, Patellas, Hips, etc. Most likely you will be getting a puppy of very questionable pedigree, compromised health, and little or no veterinary care. “Backyard breeders” typically are people who have decided that breeding dogs is easy money…and they are right…if one breeds dogs the way they do, with no regard for breed improvement, genetics, or proper care! Most often, these “breeders” do not offer a life time health guarantee, or offer a very limited one at best. In the end, the new owner may end up having expensive medical costs requiring the use of expensive specialists. Did you know that surgery to correct Luxating Patellas can cost over $1,500 per leg!!! Many purebreds are abandoned, put down, die or are dropped off animal shelters because they are so sick, or because the owners cannot afford the necessary vet care.
Temperament of a Boston Terrier is what makes them good companions. They should not be overly hyper, should not be aggressive, fearful or unfriendly. They should be lively, friendly, and well socialized, and get along with other animals. They should love to be with their owners and are easily trained - all part of why genetics are so important. When you buy a puppy having unknown genetics, many problems may occur at a later date – much later than your so-called guarantee. Buyers may pay a little more upfront for a well-bred dog, but in the long run those buyers will spend much less on a dog coming from healthy bloodlines than from other breeders who are less diligent about the problems that poor breeding can cause.
Often, people say “I just want a pet, not a fancy showdog”. This does not mean you should buy your less expensive dog from a less experienced breeder who doesn’t understand or concern themselves with genetic health or temperament issues! I promise you it will cost you more in the long run. “Show Quality” is a frequently misused term and often misunderstood phrase. Puppy buyers naturally want the best quality puppy available. Show breeders will study their puppies from the minute they are born in hopes of choosing the next best show prospect. “Pet Quality” refers to a puppy that the show dog breeder has eliminated as a show prospect, for one reason or another.
There could be a number of factors a breeder will consider a Boston Terrier from a show breeding program PET QUALITY, such as the topline might not be level or he might not have a square head. However, in most cases you will find that the pet puppy from a show breeding program is much nicer and healthier than what you will purchase from a Backyard Breeder or from a pet store.
If you are buying a puppy for a family pet, you should not be concerned with such minor issues. The most important thing is to buy a healthy, genetically sound puppy that meets breed standards in both appearance and temperament. It is important to understand that there is nothing low quality about pet quality from a responsible show breeder. A pet quality puppy from a responsible breeder is far superior to a “show quality” puppy from a puppy mill.
Pet puppies and show puppies all come in the same litters. They all cost the same to raise, so ALL the puppies we produce have the benefit of years of research and concerns about health.
If you are presently looking to buy a puppy, please think carefully about how much you can comfortably spend for a dog; it may be that saving for a few months will enable you to purchase a better quality dog. Seriously consider the kind of dog you want to share your life with for the next decade or longer. If you want a better assurance that your dog will live a long, healthy life, don’t scrimp now! The money you think you’re saving by buying that $300 puppy from the newspaper may be later poured into costly veterinary care in a losing attempt to correct the effects of poor breeding by greedy, ignorant breeders.
