I'm the breeder behind Firefly Belgian Tervuren located in Framingham, MA. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments. My passion is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do.
About Bonnie

I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
