Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Jolly Bostons located in Central, KY. We raise our dogs in our home because they're our family. All puppies have been handled since birth and have been socialized to both children and other pets. I make serious efforts to place my puppies in their forever homes.

Amanda’s experience

  • About Amanda

    I’m an RN who works primarily remote, and full time Mom (both 2 and 4 legged). Our three adult bostons live in our home full time and that means LOTS of love and snuggles by me, my awesome husband, and our children.

  • What makes Amanda’s program special

    They’re truly our family members first. Farts under the blankets while we sleep and all. They guard us when we poop, they go to town on errand runs with us, they are beyond just dogs. They're our best friends and our children's, too. We want the very best for not only our furever babies, but for their offspring and their furever, too!

More about Amanda

  • Why Amanda started breeding

    By fate really. It wasn’t something we had initially planned to do, but the opportunity presented itself and after research and health checks we proceeded to breed to keep offspring to our three babies. Now that we have our pick we're hoping to find the furever homes that will love them and care for them as we have.
