Yikes!

NEVER buy a puppy from an ad in the local paper! These are backyard breeders or puppy mills! Reputable breeders of healthy, sound dogs with researched and planned breedings never have to advertise! Most have waiting lists for puppies.

I am the webmaster for the BTCA Boston Terrier Club of America and I have never heard of a Stonebridge Farml! Just the word farm for a dog breeder would be enough to scare me off though! You want someone who raises only a litter or two a year and does so in thier home around people and other animals.

I personally know of a wonderful breeder in NY if you want, I'll give you her contact info. She also would know more of this kennel you are refering to.

Here is a little article (could be more detailed but still good) on how to find a reputable breeder: http://www.thewholedog.org/artrepbreeder.html
