I'm the breeder behind Weywood Show Dogs located in Ligonier, PA. We offer top quality, loving Frenchies and Bostons. Our goal is to produce sound good tempered dogs that do well in the show ring.
About Gwen
Our dogs are a huge part of our lives, and we enjoy spending time with them; whether that be through completing our various day-to-day activities together or just cuddling up at night. We are enthusiastic about ethically sharing our love for dogs with the world.
What makes Gwen’s program special
We believe in health testing our dogs to ensure that when they are bred, the parents are free from common hereditary diseases. These tests include, but are not limited to CERF, patella, and BAER hearing testing. We are currently in the process of DNA testing our dogs for the gene that carries the early onset Juvenile Cataract (DNA for JC) and a few more tests for the Frenchies. Our goal is to produce quality, sound, good-tempered dogs that do well in the show ring.
Gwen is a member of 3 clubs
Boston Terrier Club if Western Pa, Boston Terrier Club of America, French Bulldog Club of America

Professional Groomer, AKC Breeder of Merit
Gwen has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Please contact the breeder to get more information about pricing.
Gwen may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Gwen offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Gwen directly.
Our puppies are born and raised in the center of our home. They're handled and socialized by family and friends until they're old enough to come to work with me and then they really get to socialize!
All our puppies see a vet and receive a clear bill of health before they go home.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Weywood Show Dogs hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Gwen offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Why Gwen started breeding
My daughter, Janee, and my mom are all involved in the sport of dogs. We have owned Boston Terriers since 1996, but Bostons have been in our family since the 1920's when my great grandmother raised them. Every generation since, Grandma Pearl, has owned at least one Boston.
Gwen has been a member of Good Dog for about 6 years
