We are professional preservation breeders of Boston Terrier Puppies - we love and care for our dogs at the highest level with respect and dedication to the breed. We strive to produce what you are looking for, the healthiest and most well adjusted puppies possible. We have traditional black and white, brindle and white, seal brindle and white Boston Terriers as well as the original colors.
About our colored Bostons, we had genetic testing done to see which dogs carried the color genes, and we have been blessed with Blue, Chocolate and Fawn in our line. Blue was an original color for Bostons back in the late 1800’s called mouse. We strive to preserve some of the original colors rather than cull them. I do have Champion bloodlines as well to improve type these are my Black and white and Brindles and Seals. All the colored Bostons are recognized and Registered with AKC, only the Black and White, Seal and Brindles are accepted in Sanctioned Breed Shows. This was a political move in the early 1900’s by a handful of influential breeders that petitioned to change the AKC Standard for showing because the dark colors brought more money and were sold quicker. I love Bostons and embrace their origins in color as well as the traditional colors. I actually appreciate the diversity in the breed. At this time our blue and white puppies are only offered on a select basis, and are very limited, we have chocolates a bit more frequently than blue.
Buying a puppy should not be a quick decision. Most of the families who buy from us are on our waiting list. Our Sires and Dams are selected for their sound minds and bodies, and we expect our pups to make the best pets and companions you can find.
We breed with INTEGRITY and we are PASSIONATE about what we do. We show our dogs and consult with esteemed breeders and Judges world wide. We spend thousands of dollars on genetic testing, yet we bring our dogs to you at an affordable price. If we do not have what you are searching for, we will refer you, free of charge, to someone who we know is reputable and may have what you are looking for.
Puppies will come micro chipped for life with AKC ReUnite. We also offer a two year health guarantee for congenital defects that cause death and 5 years against JHC, DM and HUU. If you would like one of our puppies, please fill out the puppy application so we can get to know you and see if you will be a good fit for one of our Boston babies.
We do not expect ALL of our clients to pick up their puppies in person. We have excellent references and excellent communication skills and through the use of technology and FaceTime we are easily transparent to bring you piece of mind when purchasing from us when you are afar.
GROUND TRANSPORT We can refer you to a reputable door-to-door ground transporter for special delivery of your puppy.
We are centrally located in Weirsdale Florida between I95 and I75, close to the Villages, and a short drive from Orlando and Tampa International Airports.

Patriot Farm Boston Terriers

I became interested in Boston Terriers because of my God-mother Christine Tellefsen of Absolutely Boston Terriers. She introduced us to Linda Rucker who has allowed me to choose several nice dogs to get me started in Boston Terriers. Since then we added a few more nice dogs which will help us develop AKC show potential pups. We added Shakes and Baxter and crossed Pedro into our line. I had previously been professionally involved with the AKC, showing, breeding and judging another breed but am now picking up where I left off with Boston Terriers. I am a Registered Nurse with over 30 years of experience, breeding and showing dogs is my hobby and passion and it is a privilege for me to provide this service to you.
“Breed standards are developed to describe in its parts what a particular breed is supposed to look like however dog breeding always strives for the whole to be greater than the sum of its parts.” (author unknown)
Since as early as I can remember one of my biggest dreams was to have a kennel of my own and to breed great dogs. In 1992 while I was walking through the mall I saw a doggie in the window that would change my life. It was a Miniature Pinscher. I put the dog on hold and went home to research the breed and to find a private breeder to buy a dog from. I didn't want to support puppy mills which is where I figured the pup came from. I called several breeders who lived within 80 miles of my house and who showed AKC and asked them if they would sell me a dog. But because I said I also wanted to breed nobody wanted to sell me a dog. I also said I was interested in showing but they would have to tell me what to do. None of the breeders took me under their wings and nobody offered me a dog. So I bought him and ended up finishing him relatively quickly despite being a novice. His name was AKC Champion Wilkums Rockafella aka “Rocky” the picture of him below is us winning a 5 point major and New Champion Title. He was unmistakable as a pet shop dog - his ear crop was so bad - but it didn’t matter he was a stellar example of a Min Pin. He went on to become my first AKC Champion and I went on to become Chairman of the local clubs biggest specialty shows and sweepstakes Judge for the Empire Miniature Pinscher Club at the Pier in NYC preceding Westminster.
My first love being Dobermans I couldn’t help but love Min Pins. They also had a chocolate color like red Dobermans. I bought a 6 month old sweet chocolate girl and with determination finished her. It was difficult to finish her, she was an average dog and the newly accepted color "chocolate". She was a very good show girl and I became a pro at handling and handled "Mocha" to her AKC championship and then to her National Specialty Show Award of Merit win out of 300+ Min Pin entries. After having been over the road and after having been in the ring with thousands of dogs and studying their confirmation, movement and pedigrees— I bred her to the stud dog I thought would give me the best results. I was correct, I had an all champion litter and put myself in the record books. One of those sons went on to the most prestigious show in the world, The Westminster and he battled for the coveted Best of Breed, the Judging was riveting, "Armani" Ch Lorimar Valdon Designr Genes, was awarded First Award of Merit. Many breeders never even get the chance to go the Garden and my Bred-By from my chocolate bitch was awarded First Award of Merit and almost took the breed at Westminster! That accomplishment speaks for itself. I was in the seats just crying for joy and stomping my feet I was so elated.
When I first was introduced to Boston Terriers through Chris Tellefsen and Linda Rucker. I thought --'Linda's in her breeding program where I could have been if I never left min pins'. Soon though I realized the colored boston terriers are not allowed to be shown due to color having been removed from the breed standard in the 1900’s. Then I found out about IABCA a European style show which offered a class for colored boston terriers and I entered. Much to my delight I found that they judge the dog against the breed standard. From my previous dog show experience I thought this was a healthy style of judging that allows the judges to interact with the exhibitor much more freely and they are able to discuss breeding directions etc. I titled four of our Bostons that weekend and even though it wasn’t AKC it was refreshing to be back in the ring.
I have well documented prestigious accomplishments as a breeder through AKC which proves I am absolutely qualified and capable of accomplishing great things with Patriot Farm Boston Terriers. We intend to develop our line of Boston Terrier Puppies in the original colors and the traditional colors with tuxedo markings with sound and solid conformation and temperaments.
We specialize in the ultimate all American family companion. We put a lot of love, care and attention into raising our puppies, and endeavor to match them with the right families so that they may enrich each others lives.
We have added two more extraordinary boys to further improve our line. We have high hopes to have accomplishments in IABCA and the AKC.
We are proud Americans and give a military discount of $100.00 off your purchase to those who have served our country, active or retired.
We are also a Christian family, and thank the Lord for our Blessings and for allowing us to have such a blessed life with what brings us such Joy.
We pray that we produce what it is you are looking for.
