WE NEVER KNEW A LOVE LIKE THIS

WE NEVER KNEW A LOVE LIKE THIS

Aston was born on November 9, 2005 to Hoss Patillo, a Florida breeder. Aston's mom is Twinkie, Hoss's dog. His dad is from Teresa Hendrix (T-Bo Bostons) - Ch. "Lights Up Broadway" a.k.a. Joey. Aston came to us after months of researching for the perfect match with our family. We wanted a pup that was healthy, playful, intelligent, and snuggly. Lucky for us, Aston is all of the above and more!

By 14 weeks, Aston already knew how to do tricks: sit, down, give me five, and come. Now,he's learned how to roll over all by himself! You can see a short video of Aston doing his tricks by clicking HERE


What we love most about him is how much of a cuddle bug he is. Even if he's in the middle of playing, when you pick him up, he's always ready to snuggle. He has THE sweetest personality and is a MAJOR daddy's boy!! We feel extremely blessed to have Aston in our lives. He has brought us SO much joy! We can't wait to see him grow and learn and spend MANY loving years with us!

Aston has his own blog here at Blogspot and would love it if you would stop by and visit sometime. You can find him at: www.astonbaby.blogspot.com

Send a Valentine to the one you love and help a puppy in need!

BTCC Rescue recently had a very special puppy surrendered to our
rescue organization. Tag is a 5 month old boston terrier puppy that came into our care on Friday, Jan. 13.

Tag required a very costly surgery to repair an injury that affected his ability to toilet properly. Sadly, this injury was most likely inflicted by a human being within the first few weeks of Tag's young life. Without this surgery Tag would not have survived so our organization took on the huge cost of his surgery. We are appealing to everyone to help us help Tag and the many others in our care.

We are inviting you to participate in a special Valentine's Day fundraiser. You can send a donation to the BTCC Rescue Organization and we will send a Valentine (complete with big boston terrier kisses from Tag!) to the recipient of your choice! Your donations or participation in this fundraiser will be used to give life to this
little 4 month old boston terrier pup that deserves and needs a second chance at life. Tag is such a sweet and loving puppy, despite all of the discomfort he is in. He has a kiss for everyone and even stops strangers on the street so they can say hi to him and pet him.

Although visits to the vet are very painful for him, he always wags his whole body when he sees his specialist and his foster Mom. It's almost like he knows we want to help him. His gentle and forgiving spirit can make you believe that he has forgotten the cruelty that he received at the hands of another human being.

Tag came to us from a person who impulsively purchased him from a pet shop and was not prepared to deal with the problems of owning a poorly bred boston terrier. Tag is living proof for why people should not purchase boston terriers from backyard breeders or pet stores. Please purchase your dog from a reputable breeder or adopt from a reputable rescue organization.

We are desperate to raise the $2,000 needed to cover Tag's surgery.
Please help BTCC Rescue save the life of this special little pup.

Donations can be made via paypal using btccrescue@dccnet.com as the recipient address. Alternately, donations can be mailed to our BTCC Treasurer at:

*Please mark all donations BTCC Rescue and be sure to include the name and mailing address of who will be receiving the special BTCC Rescue Valentine!*

Thank you very much from Tag and all of us at BTCC Rescue!

Happy Valentine's Day!

More Boston Terriers In Business!

Zoey and Panda (along with their humans, Olive and Robert Chitty) run a business called Pet Creations.

I asked Olive how Pet Creations came to be. Here is the story: "It all started one Father’s Day while Robert and I were dating, I found a Boston Terrier picture frame and put a picture of Panda in it and gave it to Robert from Panda for Father’s Day. Later, after Zoey joined our family, I looked and looked for a frame for her picture and couldn’t find one. I looked for a year before I found one. Now I sell them!"

Olive, I asked, how did you come to know and love Boston Terriers? Olive replied:
"Before we met, my husband was asked by a friend if he wanted a dog, a black and white boxer a breeder owned but didn’t want because the dog wouldn’t take care of her litter of puppies. Robert said he would take her, he had always had big dogs. Well, he sees cute little Panda and says this is no Boxer but is a Boston Terrier! They fell in love. A few years later, Robert and I meet. I had a dog at the time whose owner had died and her son was sending him to the pound, so I took him in. His name was Teddy. Robert and I started dating and eventually brought Panda over to meet me, Teddy and the 2 cats. I fell in love with Panda. She is so smart, well behaved, cute, great smile, and has a very funny personality. Robert and I got married and had 2 Bears, Teddy Bear and Panda Bear. Teddy died about 2 1/2yrs ago of old age, and we wanted another dog. We knew we wanted another Boston. We looked at rescue, but since Panda was getting older, (she was 10) we felt a puppy would be our best bet. We were concerned about how Panda would react to another female, so we looked for a male. Well, the breeder had 2 puppies left, a male and a female. We went to see them and Zoey came running up to us. She was so lovable and sweet, we knew she was the one for us. We got Zoey at 6 weeks and she is now 2 1/2yrs. She is the one pictured on our web site Pet Creations.

Thank you Olive! Boston Terriers are like potato chips, it is next to impossible not to have more then one!

Please go visit Zoey and Panda at thier blog ( http://petcreationsoflawrenceville.blogspot.com/ )and don't forget to look at the great Hand painted resin Boston Terrier figure frames at Pet Creations. They have two darling ones to choose from plus many other breeds as well!

Boston Terrier Earns UKC Weight Pulling Title

Yup, You read right! Boston Terriers are great at just about everything! Missy, "UAGI UWP CH Kismet Joham's Princess Leia CGC TT" Enjoys many differnt sports and has the titles to prove it.

According to Shana Bobbitt, Missy's best friend and guardian, about the only sport Missy does not enjoy, is showing in conformaion.

" Missy is my first Boston Terrier. My fiance' and I purchased her
around Christmas time in 2001 right after I purchased my first home. I
had owned American Pit Bull Terriers since 1996 but was looking for a
smaller package.

I was hoping for an AKC show dog but soon realized Missy hated the
conformation ring. Our first show was the Portland Specialty where she
took a 3rd out of 6 in the Sweeps class. Since that time I have showed her
on a very limited basis and always placed in the middle of our class.
I did title her in UKC Conformation since we were also at those shows
with the pit bulls.

Missy revealed her sense of humor in obedience class, by spinning
around and going quickly in reverse to the heel position from a
recall. So we took an additional advanced class and started working
towards her CD title. She seemed to really enjoy it. She is a bit of a
co-dependant dog anyway so obedience came easy to her.

Around this same time I ordered her a harness for weight pull. While
weight pull was relatively new to UKC, they could not approve it until
it was open for all breeds. So seeing the little cart at the
competition I thought Missy should try that too. We trained a bit at
home and she caught on quickly. Pulling her at the competitions was
really an experience. She did much better than I ever expected. She
really pulls her little heart out for me, outpulling my big dogs by
body % most of the time! She earned her UWP title in quick fashion,
and is 1/2 way to the UWPCH title. We have pulled with UKC and also
IWPA.


Last year an agility instructor moved to town and I happened across
one of her fliers at the vet's office. I was elated. I had always
wanted to learn agility. I took both Missy and my pit bull Buddy to
those first classes. Buddy loved it but, Missy was the star of the
show. She is extremely smart and once she learned the obstacles,
quickly picked her favorites and would dash over to them (off course!)
and run them on her own just for fun. In UKC the first level agility
title does not have weave poles but does have some other strange
contact obstacles. My instructor was very helpful and built many of
the ones I needed for training. Missy earned her UAGI in the first two
weekends we entered trials. She had such a blast and was so cute she
quickly became a favorite with the spectators by taking "big air" over
the little jumps.

We have been steadily working along at our CD title in AKC. I cried
when we earned our first leg. Our second leg was months later and
(unfortunately) under the same judge as the first time so technically
that didn't count towards the title. That same weekend we did get
another qualifying score from another judge so we have 2 legs that we
need out of 3. Finanaces have kept me from entering any more trials
lately so we are holding out for Nationals in April '06 to try and get
that last score we need for what will be our first AKC title.

Missy has also earned her Canine Good Citizen title and the
Temperament Test title from the ATTS. (atts.org)

Missy has been such a great companion and all I could ask for. She is
my heart dog, and has helped me become a complete Boston Terrier
convert! :) I never realized dogs could be so comical! She brings a
smile to my face with her little antics most every day. My future goal
is to earn the UKC obedience title as well to make her a SuperDog."
