                          In today's interview, I talk with Gabby Vogler to discuss her process for selling Boston Terrier puppies.

                          The goal of this interview is to help someone learn what a breeder will expect of them when buying a Boston Terrier.

                          Also, knowing the process can help you avoid the numerous online puppy scams.

                          Boston Terrier Buying Process Explained: Breeder Interview

                          I spoke with Gabby Vogler about her process for selling Boston Terrier puppies.

                          Gabby’s experience with Boston Terriers starts all the way back to the age of 10 when her mom bought Gabby her first Boston named Patty.

                          In the early 1990's Gabby's mother began breeding Boston Terriers, and Gabby shortly followed in her mother's footsteps around 2005.

                          In addition to breeding Boston's, Gabby has also shown her dogs in the American Kennel Club shows.

                          On with the episode...


                          Gabby’s Contact Information

                          If you would like to get into contact with Gabby, the best place to start would be Facebook.

                          • Gabby’s Boston Terriers Facebook Page
                          • Final thoughts…

                            Buying a Boston Terrier online for the first time should be fun and exciting. The more you learn about the buying process of puppies, the better prepared you will be to avoid any possible scams.

                                            In this episode, I talk with Mary Beth the owner of the K9 Virtual Academy. If you would like to have professional dog training on your terms this type of training would be perfect for you.

                                            Have you ever wanted to train your dog professionally, but you don't have the time? Well, you're in luck. There is now an option to train your dog professionally, thanks to the K9 Virtual Academy.

                                            I recently had the chance to interview Mary Beth, the owner of the K9 Virtual Academy, to talk about her training program and how it works.

                                            Who Is Mary Beth?

                                            Mary Beth is someone who has extensive knowledge regarding dogs and their behavior. Following her passion, Mary Beth holds a Bachelor and Master of Science degree in Animal Sciences with a focus on puppy development and behavior. She has taught many canine classes over the years.

                                            Also, Mary Beth raises companion dogs for Canine Companions for Independence, she has been doing this with her husband since 2001.

                                            Why Create An Online Dog Training Program?

                                            After Mary Beth realized how busy life was for her, especially with three kids, she had an epiphany. Nearly everyone these days are busy. It is hard for people to commit to anything that is not a priority. And sometimes, dog training is at the bottom of the list, but it is important.

                                            It was from this realization that Mary Beth decided to create a flexible program that can help dog owners train their pets on their own time.

                                                  Final thoughts…

                                                  Online virtual training for your dog is really ideal for anyone. Even if you have done training in the past, you could benefit from this type of training. Especially if you have seen a regression in your dog. I personally have seen a regression in Bella since we had trained her two years ago.

                                                  Also, if you are someone who has a pretty busy schedule, this type of dog training is ideal for you. You can train your dog on your own terms with the guidance of a real expert.

                                                6. Episode 011: Love Blue Boston Terriers? I Talk With Blue Boston Expert

                                                  Are you someone who loves Blue Boston Terriers? If you are like me, you probably didn't know this type of Boston even existed.

                                                  I actually learned about this type of Boston only a few months ago. It was on an online forum where I saw someone asking about special health issues related to Colored Boston Terriers. This led me to do more research about Blue Boston's.

                                                  What I Stumbled Upon

                                                  In my research, I found Cypress Farm Kennel. This farm is not just about breeding Boston's. Krystin and her mother, Linda, run Cypress Farm Kennel in the most ethical and loving way.

                                                  Brief History

                                                  Krystin first fell in love with “non-standard” colored Boston Terriers in 2004 while in college. She was flipping through a Doctor Fosters & Smith Magazine one day and found a photo of a chocolate and white Boston, she was in love.

                                                  From that day on, she has been searching and absorbing any book or article related to Boston Terriers. The photo below is a sample of her book collection.

                                                  Krystin obtained her first breeding pair of Boston Terriers in 2005. Since that time, she has done many things:

                                                  • Founded the All Colored Boston Terrier Club.
                                                  • Participated in genetics testing to help further our DNA understanding of Blue Boston’s.
                                                  • She has helped authors develop chapters of their book regarding Boston Colors. Here is the book on Amazon, Boston Terrier Smart Owners Guide.
                                                  • Published a learning series online to educate people about colored Boston’s. Find the articles here, Boston Terrier Coat Colors.
                                                  • In 2008, She was the first to show a Colored Boston Terrier in a modern-day conformation (dog show).
                                                  • In 2016, she was the first to get a champion title for her Blue Brindle Boston puppy at the International All Breed Canine Association dog show.
                                                  • In 2017, she was the first to get a champion title for her Blue Brindle Boston adult at the International All Breed Canine Association dog show.
                                                  • This is just a little bit of what she has done. If you want the full scoop listen to the podcast as well as visit her biography on her site here, Krystin’s Bio.
