One of the my boys from my last litter of Ginger and Ryker sent me photos of him with his big sister. This is Red

So I was able to do something that I have wanted for the last 20 yrs. Even before I got my 1st Boston Terrier 18 yrs ago, I saw a gentleman on a park bench with a gray Boston Terrier. It looked like a blue gray color. I asked him what color was his Boston Terrier and he said it was a Blue and White. I have wanted once since then. Yesterday, I picked up my dream Boston Terrier. Meet Jagger. I want to thank McCoy's Boston's for letting me choose him and providing all the updates. He's the cutest. I have long hair and he pulls and tugs at my hair. So meet Jagger. These are photos that the McCoy's took because I take terrible photos. Looking forward next summer to some Blues and Blue Splashes from my girls that I kept from my previous litters🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

So they came. What a sweet surprise too. As you know, I had to take Ginger to the vet because it looked like she was going to miscarry them. They took an X-ray and said she had 3 puppies that they could see. Well, she surprised us tonight with 6 puppies. No wonder she was not feeling well on Monday when I took her to the vet. We had 4 Splashes. God was telling me that He wasn't even chancing me thatI might keep a girl so he sent me all boys. Yep all 6 puppies are boys😂😂😂💕🐾🐾💕 I am very proud of my little reel litter announcement. I worked on on it. I started off with just using this photo as a litter announcement. Then I started working with it and was able to make a short reel to announce it. Should I keep that as my litter announcement? Thanks

Such great information about getting a new puppy!!
ATTENTION NEW PUPPY OWNERS…….
As puppies head to their new homes I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS-
You see the breeders pictures and videos and the pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed, happy, playful. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.
Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. Or the overly excited playful children you have at home. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.
So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home.
-First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.
Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Different sounds, smells, temperature, animals and people.
Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, possibly decide to have a party with people you don't know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.
This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play, and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.
So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?
- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS sometimes even Longer! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
PLEASE limit guests during the first two weeks. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over.
- ask guests to remove their shoes before entering the home to prevent germs from spreading to your new vulnerable puppy.
-have guests sit on the floor/ground and wait until the puppy approaches them. NO squealing and grabbing the puppy, as this is very frightening to them.
- set up a good routine
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them
- don’t expect a 8-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them a good amount of time.
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic. They will need to establish who the leader of the pack is in order to feel safe and understand the hierarchy of the family unit.
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input.
-Children are also big stressors to tiny fragile puppies, please keep an eye on children around the puppy at all times. The children may need to learn how fragile the puppy is and how scared it may be.
- lastly, most importantly- BE PATIENT. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight.
Outings should be planned after the puppy has received ALL vaccinations and then only at the puppy’s speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day. They may be curious and energetic, they may become overwhelmed. Watch the puppy for cues on how to proceed.
Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!
Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive feedback and happy experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.
Love your puppy and they will love you 100 times more in return.

This is Lily. She was my first born in the Splash litter known as Tootsie Roll. Isn't she adorable. You can tell that her new owners got her spoiled rotten. But I bet a good rotten. She is 12 weeks. This girl was scrappy. I didn't know if she would pull through that 1st day. But here she is all pretty and adorable 🥰🥰🥰💕🐾🐾💕💕🐾🐾💕
