Default Hello from the UK
Old 03-24-2007, 12:51 PM   #1 (permalink)

Hi my names Rachael and my partner Al and I are the very proud owners of a Boston. It was difficult to find one here but we did it in the end and I have to say that the effort was well worth it. My little guy is called Koda and he's 7 months now. Everyday with him is a delight his antics just keep me laughing. I'll post a picture as soon as I figure out how to :?

Welcome to the site!!
I can't wait to see pictures of Koda! How long did it take you to find him? Are bostons not a popular breed in England?

Default Bostons in the UK

Hi,
I first saw a BT at Crufts dog show and know that this is to be my next dog, it was definately love at first sight.
I just wish that i had know about the breed , i have never seen one in England before Crufts.
At the moment i have an elderly Boxer and a 3 year old Akita so i am going to have to be content with talking and reading about the wonderful BT for a number of years.
But one day my dream will come true, even if i need a second mortgage to buy one- yes its true BT over here are selling for between one and one and a half thousand pounds each.
I wonder if English dogs are expensive in America.
Anyway i am glad i have found this site with like minded BT lovers.

Smile Bosties in the UK

Hi

In answer to one of the questions posted, yes bosties are hard to find here. There are only 3 registered breeders that I know of and I did pay a small fortune for Koda but he is descended from a long line of champions, and he's so cute... but you can expect to pay something in the region of £1,000 - £1,500 which at the current rate of exchange is about $2,000 - $2,500.

Bostons are not a dog that you will see when out walking as they are rare here compared to other dog breeds. When out with him I often get stopped by people who ask what he is.
