CKC is where a lot of the puppy mills are going to cut the new higher cost of
AKC. I can register a SPCA dog with CKC. (it is not the Canada Kennel Club--
they are OK)
The deaf gene runs on the white factor. This is the same gene that runs with
Boxers, German Shepherds and with Dalmatians.
Blue and white and red and white are mutations and are not a accepted color with
The National Boston Terrier Club. As with any breed a mutation can and often has
health issues as well a temperament issues. The above colors in Bostons have not
been around long enough to have any real studies done. Breeding for "rare white"
Bostons is asking for trouble with deafness.
The health tests that should be done on all breeding stock before breeding is
CERF for the eyes. BARE testing for the hearing and OFA for the patella. The
price of the dogs should be reflected it the price of the puppy.
