We are pleased to announce our newest addition, a Yeti x Echo granddaughter! We truly thought the end of those lines ended with Melvin, but low and behold, we were able to bring this beautiful girl home to MZBostons. 
In true Matthew fashion, this girl has has been bestowed a male name just like the 11 lb Melvin...

Matthew Zane - Class of 2024

​Matthew Zane — Class of 2024 

If it wasn’t for our son, there may never have been a Boston Terrier program… 

Matthew will be graduating next month from high school!

If you are so inclined, I posted my Venmo for Matthew’s upcoming graduation. Please do not feel obligated, but I wanted to share it for those of you who’ve enjoyed watching Matthew grow up these past 10 years in the Matthew Zane's Boston Terriers program. 

Matthew doesn’t want to do the traditional graduation open house format, but I still want to acknowledge his hard work. 

It’s not lost on me where he was developmentally as a young child to the incredible accomplishments he’s made these past few years. When he was in Birth to 3, we incorporated sign language for his lack of words. Now he’s taking part in the school plays for the past 2 years! The change in him has been a sight to behold. 

He’s unsure of his future plans, but he is currently in the middle of writing a book. He’s taken a great interest in mythology. I believe he’ll be making it into a trilogy. 

Thank you with all my heart for following along in our journey. This is an incredible milestone and I can’t wait to see what Matthew accomplishes in the future! 

-Tammy

Royal Canin Small Breed Puppy + Adult

1/1/2024

 
Picture
Picture
We've been feeding Royal Canin for that past few months now with great success. 
I recommend ordering food straight from the Royal Canin website. 
There is no charge for shipping no matter the amount you purchase.
When puppies reach 5 weeks of age, I will send out an e-mail containing a recommendation of the food we use. Within this e-mail will also have a coupon included. That way you can have food ready to go for when your new puppy comes home. 
Your puppy will also go home with a Royal Canin Puppy Starter kit (if kits are in stock and I have them on hand) which contains a small sample size of their puppy food along with a tote bag, measuring cup, and coupon for your first order. 
Not only that, I typically have a canister of food in each of my puppy packs that contain some probiotic for transitioning. It's best to use that little canister first since going home can be stressful.

Click on either photo and the link will take you to the Royal Canin website to order. 

Update 10/8/24
While I wholeheartedly recommend both foods for Pet Families, I can no longer recommend the adult formula for breeders. Whatever the reasoning, I had too many c-sections in a row while on the adult Royal Canin formula and now that I switched my adults back to Purina One things seem to be better. Again, this is for breeders, not pet families... 

Happy Birthday Melvin!

​Happy 1st Birthday Melvin!
We've had a lot of puppies and adult dogs come and go through the years in our program.
There were quite a few Matthew was very fond of... typically adults. So it's hard to see them go, but it's the nature of the beast.
But then low and behold, last year Matthew decided to pick out a pup for himself.
He chose a VooDoo x Stevie (granddaughter to Yeti x Echo) pup born on January 1, 2023.
I knew fairly early on that she'd have a blue eye and no one scooped her up. Everyone wants blue eyes, I thought for sure she'd be picked.
Then Matthew picked her.
I asked Matthew if he'd want to raise a litter from her. Told him the pros/cons involved and he decided he didn't want to take the risk.
I had Melvin spayed early on around 6 months old so he wouldn't have to deal with a heat cycle.
She's slept with him pretty much since she was 8 weeks old.
She's funny too.... he's got a little dog bed for her so whenever he goes to bed or whenever he's in his chair watching a movie or gaming, that dog is right there in her little dog bed. She's not cuddly with him which is perfect for him. It's like she knows how he is. It was so cute when he picked her out a Transformer toy when she got spayed that stays in her dog bed. That kid is addicted to Transformers.
But when Matthew's at school or at play practice and she's hanging out with me or Sean, she will be a lap dog with us.
He loves that little dog.
One year old and weighing in at 11 lbs 7 oz.
I told Melvin don't expect anything fancy today, gifts or treats or anything, Matthew's not that kind of guy.
I get a lot of questions about her name. It comes from a video game and a skit Matthew did for school on a Roaring 20's project. The names Melvin and Fenton were the characters. I actually played Fenton and used the name for a boy I kept back until Radish came along, and Matthew played the character Melvin. It just made sense to name her that.

Striped Sweater

Found a maker on Etsy selling these fleece whelping pool covers.
Couldn't pass up the Boston print in striped sweaters! 
Makes me think of the Spongebob Squarepants song - "Striped Sweater"

10 Years in 2024 and a Fancy New Floor!

12/13/2023

 
We finally got around to putting new flooring in.
I’m by no means done. I started in the living room and then it dawned on me priority was getting the puppy nursery done before puppies arrive. I’m so glad Phoenix wanted to help me with this project as initially I was planning on doing it all myself.
2024 is MZBostons 10 year anniversary too, and what better way to send puppies home with a pretty new floor?!

It's not all sunshine and rainbows...

9/26/2023

 
Mojo was due to have her first litter the end of September/first part of October. 
I had a feeling she wasn't expecting a very big litter. Very likely a singleton - meaning only 1 puppy.
She started nesting and doing the typical pre labor stuff on Sunday. 
That first stage of labor can take 12-24 hours. 
It was close to 11 PM and the puppy was presenting breech and I couldn't help her get it through the canal as it was just plain stuck.
So off we go to the ER Vet in Sioux Falls. 
As I suspected it was 1 very large puppy. 
She had her c-section and the puppy didn't make it. 
It's things like this that make me wonder why I even do it? 
These are the times I just want to throw in the towel and be done. 
 I try to remain positive and keep remembering the good always outweighs the bad. 
Breeders tend to get a bad rap and a lot of judgment.
The cost of Mojo, the travel expense to get her, the anticipation of her litter, the costs of producing a healthy litter in turn to have an emergency c-section on a Sunday night and to go home with no puppy. 
It's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Ursula and Emmylou's (formerly Hedy) Next Chapters

I retired these girls most recently. 
Ursula found herself a wonderful home in the Black Hills with a family that had gotten a MZBT pup in a rehome situation. 
They had lost their other Boston and he needed a new friend. 

Emmylou (formerly Hedy) went home with the parents of young man with a MZBT pup. She'll spend half her time in Minnesota and half her time in Texas on South Padre Island. 

​Lucky Bostons!
