Meet the breeder

I'm Ruth M., the breeder behind Grandma's Boston Terriers located in Kewanee, IL. I am a small, in-home breeder. It is my goal and passion to raise quality, AKC registered happy dogs. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. I want to produce healthy puppies that will have a well-rounded character as an adult dog.

Q. & A. with Ruth

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My husband and I had raised Maltese in the past. He once owned a Boston Terrier and got me interested in them. They are so smart and lovable so we decided to start raising them as a hobby.

  • What makes your program special?

    I raise only AKC registered dogs. I do genetic health testing on my adult dog's as well as color pannels. I strive to breed good quality puppies.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
