Even though most of our Bostons are adopted as companions, we raise them with the goal of show potential in mind, and may consider a qualifying puppy for a show\/breeding home for an extra fee. In 2013, we have completed testing on all adults patellas, and our males have all tested &#8216;clear&#8217; n\/n for jhc (juvenile hereditary cataracts). \u00a0This means that through parentage testing, none of our babies can have juvenile hereditary cataracts.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_302\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bestbostonterrierpuppies.com\/?attachment_id=302\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-302\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-302\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-302\" title=\"What makes you think we were digging in the mud?\" src=\"https:\/\/bestbostonterrierpuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Fun-in-the-Mud-640x480-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestbostonterrierpuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Fun-in-the-Mud-640x480-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestbostonterrierpuppies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Fun-in-the-Mud-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What makes you think we were digging in the mud?<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Our puppies also come with 2 health guarantees.
