About Us

Let me introduce myself. My name is Tamara Hough. I live in Northern California with my son and my Boston Terriers. I started out breeding Long-coated Chihuahuas in 1990. A few years later, I was introduced to Japanese Chins, and started showing them in 1997. It was a great starter breed for me and it introduced me to the show aspect of breeding. I took a break after 10 years, and thought I would not show or breed again. In 2001, my boyfriend and I decided to get a family pet. We got a Boston Terrier named "Tori". After falling in love with breed, the show bug hit once again. Tori was not of quality to breed, so I looked for my first show Boston. I bought "Latte" in 2003. She didn't turn out for the show ring, but we bred her and she produced one Champion. The rest is history.....

Currently, I'm actively showing and breeding Boston Terriers - a Breed I love and enjoy having as my companions. I have usually between 1-3 litters a year, hoping for my next show puppy. My household has on average 5-7 dogs running through at all times. My dogs are house dogs, not kennels dogs. Puppies are raised in my living room and are in the middle of all the action, creating a well-adjusted puppy.

I've been a Dog Groomer since 2001. This has been a great advantage to training and socializing puppies for show or for a wonderful pet home. My dogs get to come to work with me everyday so I can work with them on a one on one basis - nobody gets ignored.

My goal as a dedicated breeder is to produce healthy, happy , sound, well-adjusted, bred to the standard dogs. They should be square and balanced, with a beautiful intelligent soft expression. Health & temperament are two of the most important aspects to breeding quality dogs. All my dogs MUST pass their health tests, a full vet exam, and an evaluation of temperament before breeding. I do not take breeding lightly! My dogs are my passion and doing my favorite breeds justice is my top-priority.
