About a month ago I have bought my son a Boston Terrier for his Birthday,
because that's what he has been wanting for 3 years now. When we called
the breeder who told me has still a female and male left, I was mostly
interested having a female but would have picked either. So, we have left
as soon as we got off the phone and the ride was about 1 1/2 hours. By
the time we have arrived, the only one left was the female puppy, so
beautiful, but very snorky. The breeder gave us 200 dollars off the the
$600 because she may needed a nose holes enlarged and a year guarantee.
Once we took our puppy to the Vet, we were given an antibiotics, which
didn't work, so the Vet performed a X-ray which showed a birth deffect and
we had to return the puppy we kept for 2 weeks back to the breeder. We
have received our money we have paid for the puppy and lost all of the Vet
cost.
My son and I are looking for another Boston puppy but can't find one in
our area. The ones we have found had maybe 48 hours guarantee and were
even more costly than our budget. We would like to have another Boston
Terrier. I wonder if anyone had a simler experience in the past.

I haven't had this experience. But many, many people do have just this
experience when they buy a dog from breeders who are producing dogs for
*money* rather than trying to meet the show standard and showing them.

IMO your best bet would be to look in petfinder.com and/or google "boston
terrier rescue" and see what you can find. An adult dog can make a fine
pet; please don't feel that you've got to start with a puppy.
