Icelady's Bouncing Baby Bostons

06/19/2026

This was posted on the Boston Terrier Rescue site and I had to share what they wrote. It is absolutely the truth!!!!

"🐾 Did You Know?
Every Boston Terrier carries a little piece of history in their DNA.
Early Boston Terriers – then known as Boston Bull Terriers – were often larger, leggier, and more varied in appearance than the dogs we know today.
In fact, the original Boston Terrier Club of America breed standard accepted a wider range of colours, including liver (red), fawn, and blue. Early Bostons also came in a variety of marking patterns, including dogs known as “splashes” – those with a predominance of white. Historical dogs such as Red Jacket displayed these striking markings. While colours and markings were standardized over time, the genes behind them did not simply disappear.
Early Boston Terriers also displayed a much wider variety of tail types. Historical photographs show some influential Boston Terriers, including Tabor’s Brandy, with longer, straighter tails than we commonly see today. One early stud advertisement even proudly described a Boston Terrier named Dalesman as having a “screw tail” – suggesting the trait was still distinctive enough to be worth mentioning. As breeders worked to establish a more consistent breed type, naturally shorter tails became increasingly desirable and were selectively bred for. While most Boston Terriers today are born with short tails, the genes for longer tails can still occasionally reappear generations later.
That’s why purebred Boston Terriers occasionally surprise us with “throwback” traits that resemble their early ancestors. Longer tails, a leggier build, historical coat colours, unusual markings, and other old-fashioned features can sometimes reappear generations later.
So, the next time you see a Boston Terrier with a longer tail or a look that’s a little outside the modern standard, remember: it might be a mix. Or it might just be a living piece of Boston Terrier history. 😉
Around BTRC, we prefer the term “vintage model.” 😄 ❤️🐾
ꜱᴏᴜʀᴄᴇꜱ: ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴏɢ ꜰᴀɴᴄɪᴇʀ, ᴠᴏʟ. 𝟣𝟥-𝟣𝟦 (𝟣𝟫𝟢𝟦-𝟣𝟫𝟢𝟧); ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴏɢ ꜰᴀɴᴄɪᴇʀ, ᴠᴏʟ. 𝟣𝟦 (𝟣𝟫𝟢𝟧); ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴏɢ ꜰᴀɴᴄɪᴇʀ, ᴠᴏʟ. 𝟣𝟧-𝟣𝟨 (𝟣𝟫𝟢𝟨-𝟣𝟫𝟢𝟩)."

So if EVER in doubt that the colours or the tails of certain Boston's are purebred you'll actually see that it is just a gene that reached back into the past and came forward! Same as the Haggerty Dot, which everyone wants so badly......what they don't get is you can't have some of the past without the rest of it as well! I loved reading this!

Could Jillian Harper please pm me please IF you'd like to be moved from the cancellation list to the 2027 litter list! We can discuss all of the particulars at that time. You will be one of the first on the list since your name was on the cancellation list for the 2026 litter list. I just need to know what colour and gender preference you have if any. Information needs to be updated.

Thanks in advance.

As for anyone else interested in being on the list for next year we have 3 spots left open then it will be considered closed until we have xrays to confirm numbers and/or live birth numbers as I only accept 4 names per litter list to ensure everyone is guaranteed their furbaby! Thank you to everyone that has already added their names early so I can guarantee you the spot you deserve! I am looking forward to meeting you all next spring/summer!

My apologies to everyone waiting on updated pics of daenerys litter puppies!!! I was away all weekend and today someone i knew passed and I had planned on doing pics. I got one puppy's pictures done and emotionally I crashed and circumstancially so did the battery on my cell phone. I will get them done tomorrow for sure. I am just struggling right now with a furnace central air not working and the passing of someone far too young so I am just not in my right mental space. I will put on my big girl pants in the morning and push through just for all of you! You deserve better from me! Again my apologies!!!

Just a reminder, Of course if you don't mind.......can anyone that adopted a puppy from us please please go to the link above or type into your browser window "Icelady's Bouncing Baby Bostons" and when it takes you to us on Google, there it allows the option to leave us a review. I would appreciate it beyond words if you could select the number of stars and then write a little something to aid others when searching for information about us. This gives them a little insight into whether or not we are scammers etc. This often gives people a little peace of mind when it comes to feeling at ease. With all the creativity scammers are coming up with these days, people want to know that the breeder they have chosen is a "real" person and that others have actually visited and picked up their puppy there! Not everyone has facebook or even social media of any kind! It will only take a moment of your time and I know you're all very busy with your day to day lives and I most certainly do not want to put you out in any way shape or form. So if you don't have time, don't worry about it, that is fine. But if perhaps you are bored one day and think of it, that'd be wonderful! I just know that there are many many people that have been taken advantage of, some of which we have actually helped to get a furbaby, and their stories are heartbreaking! We can put an end to these scammers but only through communication and doing our part!

Thanks again for our community and for each one of you being the most amazing furfamily members I could ask for!!! I adore each and every single one of you beyond words that could ever express! You've all touched my life in one way or another and some, far deeper than others.

The happiest moment and yet the saddest at the same time, the last of Kolanie's litter left for their forever homes yesterday afternoon. All of them have been named except 2. So far we have Remi, Max and Mr. Jack who are happily settling in with their families. The little lilac female, well her mom wants to monitor her personality before giving her the perfect name....which is 'Rosie' and the lilac male his name is 'Bo', whether short for anythingIqm unsure. Congrats to all the families that are now part of our furfamily and a tremendous WELCOME! We're here for you whenever you need us and we can't wait to see pics posted here on our page! I just wanted to say thank you for your patience during the 8 weeks, as I know we had a few bumps in the road with communication! I had some rl issues that prevented me from being able to send as many updates as I wanted. A death in the family plus the funeral arrangements and all that followed, frozen pipes at my vacation home, a frozen bladder in the well at my vacation home and the repairs that followed, and then my dental issues! It felt like one problem after another hit me! While none of my issues should have affected you at all, it inadvertently did by delaying updates and pictures of your furbabies and for that I am deeply sorry! We still managed to get here and you now hold the precious gift of life in your hands! Love your babies and keep us updated as they grow! I loved them as my own for the first 8 weeks now I pass the torch to you......Love them deeply for the next 10yrs of their lives or more (hopefully)! Pics below show how happy they are in their new home on the first night. Relaxed and just ready to sleep after the long drive home!

It's with profound sadness that we announce the passing of AKC Icelady's Maggie May.
RIP Maggie May!!! You were the last of my original Boston girls that my mom gave me to start Iceladys Bouncing Baby Bostons! 13+ years ago now you were born in Saint Helen Michigan to Goombah and Goommar. You were not even expected to survive but it was obvious that you had other plans! Your determination to survive was obvious. All these years later I feel like my heart is broken as I say goodbye to you. I will never forget how you wouldn't go out to p*e without a marrow bones in your mouth! The house won't be the same without you my sweet girl! Run free over the rainbow bridge and find Mogwai! We love you sweetheart xoxo
