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

not necessarily. I got my bt from an ad in the paper. A very nice small family who have two boston's Mom and Grandmother and they happened to breed their female with a friend of their's male bt. They are not a backyard breeder or puppymill by any means, they love the breed. I do believe what your saying can be true but people need to research and go visit the breeder. We went to visit this family and they had the pups in their home and were very well cared for and loved.
