After many years as registered ANKC breeders we resigned from that org, we would like to join a reputable litter registering  body but there are none that are recognised in QLD other than our states ANKC  body ( Now called Dogs Australia ).

MDBA is about the best alternate registry there is in Australia, but they are not FCI  recognised nor even a recognised entity in QLD.

I wish they were, they will allow outcrossing when its done right, and would be worth joining, they just need to be a recognised entity here to be taken seriously.

Two hundred years of closed stud books has not worked in the best interests of dogs, it has resulted in an inbreeding coefficient so high that some breeds won't survive far into the future if action is not taken to add diversity, no amount of health testing alone can fix this, there is a problem with lowered genetic diversity which cannot be addressed properly because of  the closed stud books,  until common sense prevails and allows breeders to run outcrossing programs coupled with health testing, we will work with other likeminded breeders independently of any  litter registering organisation.

On any forum you will see crossbred dogs vilified and called mutts, the  latest term used by the in crowd for breeders they disapprove of is greeders,  some are, some have no clue,  some registered ANKC ( Now DA ) breeders also have no clue and could also be called by that name if you think it cool.

Did you know that there are mills who breed by the thousands, literally thousands, who are members of our ANKC ? a tad two faced when we are supposed to only be hobbyists. 

No one is giving pups away and prices are set not only by supply and demand, but by registered breeders, who then howl because only they should be allowed to charge a premium for their inbred dogs.

If you find it all a bit confusing, check on what familial problems are in the breed you are interested in, then find someone who is doing something real to correct these faults, all breeds have something to be aware of, thats the result of the closed stud books which would have seemed like a good idea at the time they were invented, but have, in fact proven to be a disaster. 
​
Registries in some countries have already allowed supervised outcrosses to help improve the health of breeds most affected, we need to do the same, until our Dogs Australia pulls their collective heads out of their backsides we will continue without their blessing, our dogs are far fitter now than when we started so long ago and we continue to use all tools at our disposal, DNA testing is improving at a rapid pace, with that, and outcrossing, we can continue to improve and thank you to those who choose our pups. !
​
One of the main things we need to correct in our dogs is the potentially wicked  DVL2 gene, expression of this gene is exacerbated by breeding toward the show standard which calls for cobby bodies, short screw tails and short muzzles, all shorter than those on the original dogs, yet considered correct these days even though we now know that these exaggerated features are linked to a gene that can have devastating effects on the dogs.

That gene is now fixed in all Boston Terriers, that's right, ALL of them, it does not cripple all of them, of course, it is thought that other genes can stop it from presenting, and they usually do stop it, when they do not, the result is disastrous.

There are two ways to help combat it, one is not to breed to the show standard, breed tails back in, longer muzzles and backs, it will still be there in the pure bred but will be a lot less likely to cause as many twisted vertebrae and other defects, the second and most effective way is to outcross and to more than one other breed. 

We already have one dog clear of the gene and others  with only one copy of the gene, ( dogs with only one copy will never be affected by it ) and soon hope to have other clear dogs.
​It is also true that longer muzzled dogs can have airway issues, those who want to keep breeding for ever shorter muzzles use this excuse to keep going down that path, upper airway syndrome as seen in longer muzzled dogs is caused by a different gene to the BOAS causing DVL2 gene, it is called ADAMTS3 and most of our dogs are clear of that gene.

These dogs & pups below were all bred here, some are still here, others are now in their homes, I put photos up to show what we breed toward.
​
​Sale pups are at  the bottom of this page

Max is a USA import, the most laid back Boston I think I've seen, he never fusses can and did, walk straight off a plane and spent a few days in Moore Park with me, visited many places, none of which  ever bothered him one bit, not the most handsome Boston by show standards, but exactly what we needed to get us away from ever shortening muzzles, backs and tails, he's old style, very similar to those you will see in photos of the breed when it was first recognised around 1920.

His tests usual are all good, can be seen on "The Dogs" page, I have not uploaded many, but have done extensive testing, will upload more as I get to it, its fiddly work, and I will never upload all that we have done over the years as that would amount to hundreds. 

He does carry two copies DVL2 only recently tested for that when the test became available here, he is a long dog with longer muzzle and a moving stump of a tail and unaffected by the gene.

Size can vary, Max, a USA import, is a fairly big boy, Archie an Aussie bred boy is on the smaller side. 

 

Above is Archie, an Aussie bred boy, all good DNA, throwing beautiful pups, he's a small one very confident, very friendly.
Below is Bluegum also imported from USA all tests good, he has thrown some gorgeous pups, more excitable than our others but as smart as a whip, possibly well above average intelligence, and they are all smart so thats saying a lot.

Jax, below,  imported in his mother, born in Australia, all tests good, still with 2 copies DVL2, but not an exaggerated type and unaffected by it, and beautiful wide open nostrils,  gorgeous coat, the father of some very beautiful pups, softer nature, kind and clever, gets on well with everyone.

Check his gorgeous open nostrils out, this dog breathes like a working farm dog.  Pups by Jax are on the way.

Two other things to watch for in Bostons, all Bostons are deafness and eye conditions, our are all DNA tested and will not suffer from Juvenile Cataracts, there are other eye conditions they can get such as Glaucoma, dry eye and old age cataracts, cherry eye are the main ones, their eyes are prone to problems and injury partly because they are so prominent, the shorter muzzles get the more those eyes bug out and seem to suffer, examinations can be done yearly to clear breeding dog of some conditions, or, better still breed less exaggerated types, and again, the DVL2 gene being linked to facial deformities needs to be eliminated, we do not take dogs away to an ophthalmologists yearly, we are too far away to do this without a good deal of trouble, and even if the adults passed every year, pups may still have problems late in life, as long as they have shallow seated bug eyes they can have problems, we breed away from that trait which helps a lot, eyes still need care to be taken, as injury or infection can cause corneal ulcers.

​Older Bostons are prone to heart attacks, since DVL2 is said to affect hearts, we hope to avoid this to a large extent as we get more dogs without two copies of the gene as well. 

Some genes will influence more than one aspect of a dogs physicality and or health, such as the red gene seems to influence a dogs nostrils, one of the worst faults that has crept into the breed is narrow, slit shaped nostrils, often requiring surgical correction just to let a dog breathe freely, I have been trying to breed away from this for many years, even so the occasional pup will be born with the shape I don't want, albeit usually open enough not to require surgery, I have noticed in my own and in the many photos you can find on the net that proper red dogs almost always have lovely open nostrils ! I believe this is genetic, our albinos are even better than the reds, as are the few others I have found on the net.  Check it out for yourself, I recon time will prove me right !

Max is the type of dog The Melbourne Bulldog clinic advice we should breed to avoid the problems we have in the shorter thicker bodies and thick, short necks and muzzles. This advice coming from vets who deal primarily with dogs suffering the results of breeding to a standard set before people understood the downside of it. We now do know and must do better, the standard must change.
Max can run nonstop for miles, he breaths easy and has never suffered any sort of ill health and he was born in 2014 so getting quite  old.

​We will have a few other foundation Toybulldog pups later, these are born to bitches in  our DVL2 free breeding program pups some may still carry two copies but are highly unlikely to be affected by those copies due to them not showing extremes of the physical traits we expect to cause problems, others can only carry one copy, geneticists do not yet know exactly why it is that many dogs carry two copies yet are never overtly affected by them, it is thought that other genes kick in and prevent expression of the worst faults, given what I have seen I tend to think this is correct.

This hypothesis is also backed up by the information on the this website run by vets who see many dogs yearly and state that the breeds/dogs who are more exaggerated are more the affected ones.
www.melbournebulldogclinic.com.au

It is still a gene that needs to be eliminated as it is possible that the suspected link  ( It is a known link for humans with the gene ) to some cancers and heart defects does affect old Bostons as the most common cause of death in old dogs is cancer, late onset heart defects and infectious diseases, we cant do much about infectious disease but we can help with the other.

We have pups by Devil a 75% Boston Toybulldog from a pure Boston mum, these are around 90 % Boston, will be small dogs will be genetically superior to most of even our dogs, Devils carries only one copy of DVL2, pups start at $2,000 delivery is up to $500, ready to either late November or very early December. 

Both of these red boy Toybulldogs are available to go, late November, both have lovely open nares, and breathe easy, they are $2,500 delivered to anywhere. they are over 90% Boston from well tested lines and are clear of the many genetic conditions we can test for. They will be from 10 to 12 kg as adults, they will look like pure Bostons, But fitter.

Check out Snow Whites pups, below, she is clear for  67 diseases and is one of the most robust Boston Terriers I have ever seen or bred along with her brother who also has outstanding DNA tests. 

Both are albinos, not a colour I would deliberately breed for, I kept them, tested them and will breed from them because both have exceptionally open nostrils and nasal passages, they run like kelpies, and are extremely fit, both also have confident and friendly natures, they love to be cuddled and get along with all the other dogs, never nasty or reactive towards them, both need to be seen to be appreciated, both for their level of fitness and their characters.

Pups of course are normal colours, my intent in breeding Snow White is to see if I can keep those nostrils, fitness and nature in her pups.

​Colours are normal, Black and white and a red and white. I may have one pup still available from this litter to Buttons who is over 75 % Boston and also has excellent DNA and only one copy of DVL2 
​
The pups have excellent nostrils, it is something I have always bred towards, and thats not as easy as it sounds, the slit shape that haunts all Brachycephalic breeds is hard to shake, even when they remain open enough to allow good breathing, it is still not a desirable shape because some will always fail and will need surgery to allow a dog to engage in  the simple act of breathing.

 Those nostrils, general fitness and the most engaging natures are what convinced me to breed our albinos, their only weakness is light sensitivity, which, for indoor dogs isn't much of a worry at all.

Pups of course are all normal  not albinos. I'm hoping to be able to keep her  other aspects of health and breathing which is perfect. She is, of course light sensitive, the pups are not, they are completely normal.

Meet our albino boy below, his name is PINKY, but he prefers HONKY, he has  exceptional DNA just like his sister, these are the fittest Bostons I have ever bred or seen, anywhere, any time.  

They also have the most outgoing, friendly and confident natures going, they do not come any better, clear for over 60 genetic diseases, they do have 2 copies of DVL2 in traits, their longer backs and muzzles and short but moving tails and complete absence of any sign of BOAS  are indications that this gene which can cause malformed disks called hemi vertebrae, and some aspects of BOAS is not adversely affecting them.

The only thing they will remain sensitive to is strong sunlight, and that does not in any way affect their normal coloured pups. 

Reasons to breed them in spite of albinism,  is their unusual level of fitness and those huge, open nostrils, which remain open all the way up, these dogs can and do run like normal dogs, not Brachycephalics.
