USAPapaws Back Porch Boston Terriers

Description:

I am a second-generation, home-based, micro-scale breeder of registered Boston Terriers. I specialize in highly socialized puppies with traditional coat colors in the light and medium weight classes. My bloodlines are old and include the historic brindle coat color AND Haggerty Spots! My Story: I am a small-scale "hobby" breeder of Boston Terriers, following in my daddy's (aka "Papaw") footsteps. Papaw had his own way of running his breeding business and didn't mimic the ways of "traditional" breeders. Papaw was a simple, country man who grew up on a farm in Arkansas. He fell in love with Boston Terriers when he served in the US Army in Germany after WWII. The lieutenant over the platoon in which he served found a stray BT roaming on the base one day and decided that he would adopt the puppy to become the platoon's mascot, to build morale. The lieutenant named the dog Half Track after the vehicles they routinely used. Papaw became Half Track's handler and caregiver. Half Track went with Papaw literally everywhere and slept with Papaw on his top bunk in the barracks. Papaw wanted to bring Half Track back to Texas with him when he completed his four-year stint in Germany, but he couldn't afford all the fees required to bring an animal back to the US. Once Papaw returned home, he told all kinds of stories about his adventures with Half Track in Germany. A few months after he returned home, he found out that I was on the way. The first gift he gave me was my very own Boston Terrier. I have not lived a day of my life without the company of a BT.
