These prices are very low and I am wondering if it is because of WHERE you are buying your puppies from. CKC does not mean anything as it is a companion dog registry in the US. Of course, AKC means nothing either unless you plan on showing your puppy in an AKC event.

Being AKC or CKC (also the initials for the Canadian Kennel Club if you live in Canada) does not make your puppy anything special at all. If someone is charging more the AKC papers then they are not a Reputable or ethical breeder. They are only in it for the money.

Please do not buy a "non-standard" color Boston Terrier! Fawns, reds, browns, blues, Whites are NOT a good thing! Most of them have another breed somewhere in the background that is causing these mutant colors to occur. Thier health may compromised because of it. They are NOT worth more money then the standard Black and white or Brindle and white, in fact, should be worth far less since they are a genetic mutation.

Make sure your breeder (and I use that term lightly since most of you have purchased from a back yard breeder or pet store) stands behind the puppy for it's entire lifetime, not just for three days if it should become ill.

Make sure your breeder tests for genetic defects such as juvinale cateratcts, deafness, luxating patellas, etc. and can show you the passed tests of the parents. Make sure they will replace the puppy/dog in two or three years or more if the dog should end up with any of these inheirted defects

Make sure your breeder sells you the puppy on a Spay/Neuter contract or agreement. Leave breeding this breed to the True and Reputable Breeders.

Yes, you may have to be on a waiting list for a puppy from a Reputable breeder while the back yard breeder ALWAYS has puppies available or a litter due soon. It will be worth the wait and the slightly higher price, I promise!
