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 into the Pure Bred world of Dogs.

This is where our story really begins... with a dog named Roo.

Roo was our very first Boston Terrier. We found her listing on Kijiji (Not Reccomended) 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 area was terrible. Most of the dogs did not look well maintained, nails untrimmed, dull coats and the dogs lacked that lively quirkiness that we had read about. The home was over crowded with several breeds of dogs with a mixed chaotic pack of puppies. My heart sank at the deplorable conditions.

We contacted Roo's owner who lived Stateside and had sent Roo up to Canada to be bred by what they thought was a "reputable" breeder.

Roo had recently had a cesarean section to deliver a litter, which is common practice for the Breed. Devastatingly, none of the puppies made it. Roo needed an emergency hysterectomy and almost didn’t make it herself. We were horrified and heartbroken as was the original owner. When my Husband and I made eye contact, we both knew there and then that Roo was coming  home with us no matter what! 

Once home, we took Roo to our vet. With some antibiotics and lots of love, the Vet assured us that Roo was going to be just fine. And the healing began.

Recovery took time as Roo needed to learn to trust us and overcome what we can only describe as a broken heart. The more love we gave, the more Roo realized she was safe and she began to show us all the things that make a Boston Terrier special.

…AND we were  hooked! 

A decade passed and other wonderful dogs were a part of our family. Our "human" children now entering adulthood started their own adventures and my husband and I found ourselves now “empty nesters”. This change was tough to get used to and is what sparked my hubby to go out and found us our next Boston Terrier, Zeb.

Zeb renewed our love of Breed and we began learning about the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), the breed standard, health testing, and the exciting world of Dog Shows

We sought out a CKC breeder to learn more, starting with what it really meant to become a reputable breeder. We didn’t want anyone to experience what we had years before with Roo. Months later we began working with the CKC Breeder and it turned our world  (and our house) upside down. We were determined to fulfill the role of a temperament and health conscious breeder of Boston Terriers. 

Our story is STILL  being written and we invite your family to be a part of ours as we  share our love of the Boston Terrier together.
