Happy Birthday to Kimbers first litter of pups!

On September we had 6 beautiful puppies born in the span of 2 hours, what a busy girl Kimber was! The male to this litter was from a stud owned by a friend. 

The Firstborn was a girl, Maple, she had a cute little heart on her chest. In this photo, her chin is blocking the top part of the heart. 

12 minutes later Aspen was born, a small boy weighing in at a whopping 6.3 ounces. Aspen has a mostly white face like his grandpa, Kingsley. Aspen appears to not be fully black like his mom Kimber, he almost looks like he is a brownish-black color.

Third to be born was another boy, Linden, who had a large white collar and black around his eyes and black ears.

Fourth to be born is another girl, Ember. She got her name because she is almost all black like coal. 

Fifth to be born was another male, Rowan. Rowan is most likely spoken for already by a friend, he is brindle (our first!) and has two Haggerty spots! 

Our last pup born, though not a runt by any means he's the biggest of them all, is another male whom we named, Pumpkin. 

If you haven't guessed by now, each of the puppies has a fall-themed name, the names won't be their permanent names, their owners will eventually choose that for them, we just give them names to help identify them.

If you are interested in a puppy please send me an email at thebtwoofpack@gmail.com  You can also follow Kingsley's Instagram page at @kingsley.bee if you'd like to watch the puppies grow. 

Each of the puppies will go home being vet checked, up to-date shots, de-wormed, and come with a puppy pack to help them transition into your home.

Meet Beau, the perfect companion

 

Beau

Beau became part of the BT Woof Pack this summer. He has been welcomed by Carole's dogs, Queenie, Pistol, Dottie, Kipper, and Daisy. Hopefully, Beau will get to meet the rest of the woof pack soon. 

Beau is a registered AKC red Boston Terrier and comes from smaller size parents. He will most likely bring smaller puppies to our future litters. Beau also has a longer snout than our other Bostons and we're hoping that some of that will transfer to our line as well.

Beau is very well-mannered, loving, and seeks adventure. He's the perfect pal to take on trips.

Beau's Stats:

• Registered AKC
• Expected weight - 18 pounds
• Red in color
• Parents to Beau are Red (F) and Black (M)
• Born April 23rd, 2023
• Well mannered
• Gentle
• Beautiful markings
• Great with kids

Welcome to the world, Leeloo, Luna, & Poppy

 

Born this morning... Leeloo, Luna, & Poppy.

We aren't sure which pup is which yet, we are waiting for their adoptive families to choose them before they get their official names. 

Remi and her three girls are doing great. She's been licking and nursing them non-stop since they entered the world (see video of the last one being born below) between 3-7am today (4/16/23). They are well-loved!

All of the pups weighed between 9 and 10 ounces, and are so healthy.  They all have some sort of Hagarty spot on their heads too. This is the first litter in a while (of Kingsley's) that didn't have a pup born with a heart somewhere on its body, but this is the first litter with Hagarty spots though.

In case you're wondering what a Hagarty spot is here's a definition according to ChatGBT - A Haggerty spot is a circular marking found on the heads of some Boston Terriers. It is named after the breeder Robert Haggerty, who first recognized and selectively bred for this trait in his dogs. The spot is typically located between the eyes and is usually a small, white, round spot with a diameter of about a quarter of an inch. The Haggerty spot is considered to be a desirable trait in Boston Terriers and is often sought after by breeders and enthusiasts. However, it should be noted that not all Boston Terriers will have this marking, and it is not a required or recognized trait by breed standards.

The Silent Threat: How Heartworm Disease Spreads in Dogs and How to Prevent It

How Heartworm Disease Spreads in Dogs and How to Prevent It

As dog owners, we all want to protect our furry friends from harm. One of the biggest threats to our dogs' health is heartworm disease. But how do dogs get heartworm, and how can we prevent this potentially deadly condition?

Heartworm disease is caused by a parasitic worm called Dirofilaria immitis, which is transmitted by infected mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it ingests microfilariae (baby heartworms) from the dog's blood. The microfilariae then develop into infective larvae inside the mosquito over the course of two weeks. When the infected mosquito bites another dog, the infective larvae are transmitted into the dog's bloodstream through the mosquito's bite wound. Once inside the dog's body, the larvae grow into adult heartworms that can cause serious damage to the dog's heart, lungs, and other organs.

It's important to note that heartworm disease is not contagious and cannot be spread directly from one dog to another. Instead, it is spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes.

So, how can we prevent heartworm disease in our dogs? The best way to protect your dog from heartworm disease is through a combination of regular heartworm testing and preventative medication. Your veterinarian can recommend a preventative medication that is safe and effective for your dog, based on their age, weight, and overall health. It's important to administer the medication as directed and to schedule regular heartworm tests with your veterinarian to ensure that your dog is protected.

In conclusion, heartworm disease is a serious and potentially deadly condition that can be caused by infected mosquitoes. By taking preventative measures, such as regular heartworm testing and medication, we can protect our beloved dogs from this dangerous disease.

To Crate Train or Not to Crate Train Your New Boston Terrier Puppy

To crate train or not to crate train

Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting and joyful experience. But with that excitement comes a lot of responsibility, including the decision of whether to crate train your new furry friend.

Crate training is a popular method of house training puppies that involves using a crate or cage as a safe space for your puppy to rest and sleep. The idea behind crate training is to teach your puppy that their crate is their own personal space, a place where they feel safe and secure.

But is crate training the right choice for your puppy? Let's explore the pros and cons of crate training to help you make an informed decision.

Pros of Crate Training:

• Provides a safe and secure space for your puppy to rest and sleep.
• Helps with potty training by encouraging your puppy to hold their bladder and bowel movements until they are let out of the crate.
• Helps prevent destructive behavior and keeps your puppy from getting into things they shouldn't be.

Cons of Crate Training:

• Some people think using a crate is cruel and restricts the dog's freedom.
• If not done properly, crate training can lead to anxiety and fear in your puppy.
• It can be difficult to properly time how long your puppy stays in the crate.

If you do decide to crate-train your puppy, it is important to do so properly. Here are some tips for successful crate training:

• Introduce your puppy to the crate slowly, allowing them to explore it on their own terms.
• Make the crate comfortable and inviting with a soft bed, toys, and treats.
• Gradually increase the amount of time your puppy spends in the crate, starting with short intervals and working up to more extended periods.
• Never use the crate as punishment or for extended periods of time.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to crate-train your new puppy is up to you. It is important to consider your lifestyle, your puppy's personality, and your goals for training before making a decision. With proper training and patience, crate training can be a positive experience for both you and your furry companion.

As breeders of Boston Terriers, we have found that crates work best for us and our lifestyles. The moment a new puppy comes home we start introducing them to their crate. We start out with smaller crates and work out way up to bigger sizes. We also utilize travel crates for safe travel.

If you have decided to utilize a crate when you bring your puppy home we have found that it's best to put them in a travel crate and set it next to your bed at night. They need to smell you and hear you. I have found that if they wake up in the middle of the night it's also easier to take them out immediately or place your fingers inside the crate to help calm them. Most of the time they are just lonely at night and placing your fingers in the grate of the cage is enough to get them to settle down and stop crying.
