Breeding Better Bostons
Around the world with
international friends and partners!

One of my goals as a lover of the breed is to improve the breed to the best of my ability. Improving the breeding also means improving in ALL areas, not just “prettiness”. This includes health, longevity, temperament, and personality as well. This means going beyond myself and my own kennel. To me, it means mentoring “newbies” who truly have the best interest of the breed at heart, as well as helping a few, select breeders in other countries with the same goals and interest.

I have formed international “partnerships” with a few breeders around the world, on different continents, who share the same dream of improving the Boston Terrier to the best of our ability. These are people I know and trust and believe to be truly reputable, putting the future of the breed foremost in their breeding programs and who also help and mentor others.

Paola Belletti of Notting Hill Kennel in Italy is a very close and dear friend of mine. She has shown Taison in several countries, earning titles in most of them. She has used Taison to improve her breeding program and expand the gene pool. She sent me Tequila and I sent her Livie. Hopefully, we will help each other to improve what we have in our own kennels, but also lend a hand to those just getting started in this wonderful breed. Paola and her family, Antonio and Bea, have welcomed me into their home with open arms and treated me like family while I was in England and Italy in 2008. I hope to visit them again and also hope they will visit me one day so I can extend them the same warm welcome.

Shaun & Crystal Graham of Togra Boston Terriers in South Africa are also my good personal friends and international partners. Shaun & Crystal also provided a loving home to Taison while he was in South Africa, showing him to his title there. From Shaun & Crystal, I have Serene who has already produced one champion for me. And, to them, I will be sending Sid as soon as he completes his American & Canadian championships. I have invited the Grahams to my home and hope to visit them one day as well.

Paul De Leon of Promise Land Boston Terriers in the Philippines is my third international partner. Although we have not yet exchanged any dogs, I am certain that we will one day. Paul has the same love of the breed that I do and consistently works to improve what he has. He has visited me in the past, and maybe one day I will be able to visit him as well. In the meantime, I hope to breed an outstanding male that he can add to his breeding program and expand the gene pool in the Philippines.

Thank you Paola, Shaun, Crystal, and Paul for loving the Boston Terrier breed as I do and for your commitment to do what you can to improve them in your countries. I am proud to call you my friends and my international partners!!! Good luck and God bless you in your endeavors!
