Our Beginnings

And Our First Terrier

Welcome to Tux Terriers. A home based breeding and rearing program, for social and healthy Boston Terriers.

We are James and Katrina Godden and like many we have always been dog lovers. We started with rescue dogs and over time our paths came across a local “breeder”. This is where are story really begins with a dog named Roo.

Roo was our very first Boston Terrier. We found her listing on Kijiji and my husband and I traveled together to meet the potential new family member. We will never forget what we saw that day. The living conditions were terrible. Most of the dogs did not look well maintained. The home was over crowded with dogs and their litters and Roo looked awful. We contacted her owner who lived State side and had sent Roo up to Canada to be bred by what they thought was a reputable breeder. Roo had recently undergone surgery to deliver her pups of which non of them made it. Roo needed an emergency hysterectomy and almost didn’t make it herself. We where horrified and heart broken as was the original owner when we described the living conditions and we knew there and then that Roo was coming home with us no mater what!

Once home, we took Roo to our vet and Roo was given antibiotics to help clear her post surgical infection. We gently wrapped her up to relieve the pressure of the mastitis that had begun to set in. And the healing began.
