Litters & Adoption Info
While hobby breeders, we're professionals at what we do and we're NOT a puppy mill, commercial kennel or backyard breeder, nor do we have litters and puppies available all of the time. In fact, our puppies are usually spoken for by individuals on our waiting list and we have a waiting list because we don't have a lot of availability. We maintain a "paid" waiting list for our puppies and IF we're not able to keep one of our retired adults, they usually only go to family, friends, or previous puppy parents. That said, we do keep a "free" waiting list for our adults, should one become available. Our litters are carefully planned for a specific purpose and are intended for the preservation and betterment of the breed. If you're interested in our puppies/dogs, please take the time to fill out and submit our application. Thank-you.
Adoption Information
Once puppies are reserved, "puppy parents" are given access to our member only "puppy parents' site", which contains pictures from birth, videos, our puppy blog (where we post updates on developmental milestones, etc.), our Care Guide and helpful puppy care information. Our puppies are usually ready to go to their new homes at approximately 9 weeks of age and older.

If the price of adoption is too high and you're still interested in loving one of these wonderful breeds, please consider Boston Terrier, Boxer, or another breed rescue! You may also want to consider a retired dog from a registered and reputable breeder. If you're not really sure whether a Boston Terrier or Boxer is really for you and are willing to consider other breeds, please consider rescuing a puppy/dog from a recognized rescue organization and give these dogs a chance at a better life (see our Links page).
We are having so much fun with our Boston pup Voodoo. He is bright and loving...and very mischievous! We love him to pieces are so happy to have him as the special addition to our family. Cassidy made the adoption process such a wonderful experience, and we were so impressed with the ethics and standards of Bedford Bostons that we wouldn't have considered getting a pup from anyone else! We have a vet in the family who told us what to look for in a breeder and also in the Boston bloodline, and Bedford Bostons far exceeded all expectations.Thank you soooo much again for holding such high standards in Boston breeding!

Our Sweet Voodoo
Bedford Kennels exceeded my expectations of a breeder! Although I was initially intimidated by the comprehensive policies and screening process, my communication with Cassidy quickly put me at ease; she is approachable, knowledgeable, passionate, honest and ethical. It is obvious that the pups are home raised with children and well socialized. Our Boston girl, Juno, will soon be 1 year old. She is absolutely delightful with a wonderful disposition and personality; she is by far the best canine companion we have ever had. Thank you Cassidy and Bedford Kennels!

I do not even know where to begin. There are too many nice things to say about Bedford Bostons, Cassidy and of course my little girl Lilly. Lilly is the apple of my eye. She can do no wrong.(Well that is what I think). She is such a little explorer, full of energy and personality to spare. I can't imagine my life without her. Every night she walks up to my pillow and lightly scratches my cheek, I lift up the covers for her and down she goes. She LOVES sleeping under the covers down by my feet. I know that every Boston is loved at Bedford Bostons and that is why Lilly (and all of her brothers and sisters) are so happy and loving in return. Cassidy, I don't think I could have asked for a better breeder. I know you care about every single Boston and that makes all the difference in the world. My little girl came from a loving home and you always make sure your Bostons go to a loving home. Thank you for answering all of my questions during the adoption process (because you and I both know there were a lot!). It just goes to show that you care. If anyone is ever wanting to adopt a Boston Terrier, they need to get a Bedford Boston from a breeder that truly cares about each and every one of their puppies. Thank you Cassidy!

Lilly Girl
As Larry is now coming up to his 3rd birthday, I can only echo the comments of all of the other people who have been Lucky enough to have gotten their Boston Terrier from Cassidy. Feeling very fortunate to have come across Bedford Kennel's website (and Larry), I began my research and hundreds of questions (sorry Cassidy) to make sure a Boston Terrier was the right choice. I can't say enough about how much of a gentleman Larry is and a perfect dog, and companion. He always makes new friends wherever he goes, and loves stopping for whoever wants to say hello, and pet him. I too knew that I was making the right choice in getting a Boston from Cassidy from the first meeting. All of my questions, concerns, were always handled immediately, and first class. So many thanks to Cassidy, and as well, Alison Bradley of Kidogo kennels for making a new forever fan of this wonderful breed!

We could not be happier with our dealings with Cassidy. She is a remarkable and reputable breeder. Her love for her dogs and the breed is outstanding. I am impressed by her responses to all my questions, her time and effort, diligence and how she will continue to be a part of our lives and Betty’s. Meeting her and her family confirmed for us that this was right choice. Betty is well mannered, tempered and a fun-loving dog. She is great with the children in her circle and a joy for all the adults. We are very happy to have her in our home and to continue our relationship with Cassidy. Thank you and see you soon!

When I was doing research for a reputable breeder for Boston Terriers I discovered Cassidy's website. I couldn't have found a better breeder to deal with. From the initial application all the way up until now, she has been a great resource. She takes the time to answer any questions I might have. She works hard to take good care of the dog's she breeds and to find the perfect home for their puppies to go to. When we went to pick up Joey I knew we had made the right choice. She takes the time for you to meet with the dog and make sure the feel is right. You can tell she puts a lot of heart into all her pets and family. Joey is now just about to turn 3! I could not be happier with this match. Joey is such a well natured dog. He loves everything and everyone - including his love hate relationship with our cats. I cannot imagine my life without him! I constantly tell people about Cassidy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Boston. I hope to get another one from her in the future!
