This small terrier breed is an affectionate and caring dog, and you'd be lucky to have this protective pal as your companion.
Let's get started and help you become a Boston Terrier's forever home with this list of reputable breeders.
While Hobart has a relatively small population of just over 250,000, it only takes one person to scam you, so here are some tips to help you be safe online when purchasing a pup.
You should have a relatively good knowledge of the Boston Terrier breed standards. This way, you won't be tricked by people trying to pass off mixed-breed terriers as purebred.
You should also make sure that you get your puppy through a responsible breeder that won't have a problem answering questions you have and won't mind providing information about themselves. Many breeders usually offer you support as your puppies grow and a health guarantee with DNA tests and pedigree documents.
Don't be afraid to ask for references and ask plenty of questions about the dog's parents and potential health problems.
Lastly, be careful of fake websites and ads, and double-check the breeder registration number with the relevant clubs.
The breeders we're about to suggest are all registered, but you should still verify the information. Pets Online approves only registered breeders.

Yes! Just be wary of scammers, verify all information and get certified pedigree documents beforehand. Don't make any payments on unsecured networks.
Always visit the breeder in person, but if that's not possible, ask if you can arrange a video chat to see the puppy's environment and its parents. A legally binding puppy contract should be drawn up and include a health guarantee, and this should be signed before any sale happens.
