✨Meet Roz — the one we waited years for.✨

When she was born, we actually cried. Then shouted. Because after all these years… after Olive (our very first Boston) and her daughter Ivy… this little girl made our dream come full circle.

Roz is the reverse brindle beauty we prayed for. 🖤

From Olive’s gentle heart to Ivy’s playful spark, every ounce of legacy lives in her tiny paws. She’s the reason we do what we do — preserving not just a bloodline, but a bond.

🐾 Welcome to the world, Roz, our “Legacy Litter” girl — and the future of Olive & Co.

💫 Follow along to watch her grow, learn, and carry on the legacy that started it all.

🐾 Meet Indie — the next generation of Olive & Co. Boston Terriers 🐾

From the moment she opened her eyes, we knew she was something special. A stunning red fawn with a perfect little mask, Indie carries the best of both worlds — her mama Penny’s sweet, loyal soul and the bold, confident charm of her dad Apollo.

She’s not just another Boston — she’s third generation Olive & Co. legacy, born from years of intentional pairing, health-focused breeding, and pure love for this incredible breed. ❤️

Watching her grow feels like watching our story come full circle — from Olive, to Sperri, to Penny, to this beautiful, bright-eyed girl who embodies everything we’ve worked for.

✨ Follow along as Indie grows into the next face of Olive & Co. Boston Terriers — our red-fawn ray of sunshine with a whole lot of heart.

We all agree on the importance of preventing unwanted litters, but it may be time to rethink how it’s done. Hysterectomies and vasectomies can be performed safely as early as 8 weeks, providing sterilization without disrupting a dog’s natural hormones.

“Removal of the go**ds with surgical sterilization results in a loss of negative feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary. The sustained supraphysiologic luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations in g***dectomized dogs can significantly alter organ function and even induce neoplastic changes. For example, g***d removal has a profound effect on thyroid function and is reported to be the most significant cause for the development of hypothyroidism in dogs. Thirty percent more g***dectomized dogs develop hypothyroidism compared with intact dogs. Within the canine thyroid, LH receptors are co-localized with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptors.

Continuous LH receptor activation in g***dectomized dogs may interfere TSH receptor function by consuming second messengers involved in G-protein receptor cell signaling, preventing the action of TSH when it binds to its receptor in the thyroid, resulting in hypothyroidism. The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures is significantly increased following g***d removal independent of breed, s*x, weight or body condition. Luteinizing hormone receptors are expressed in the cruciate ligament and continuous LH receptor activation may increase laxity in these ligaments, resulting in joint instability. Both male and female g***dectomized dogs are at a significantly increased risk for lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma. Luteinizing hormone receptors are also abundant in these tissues. Research in four canine hemangiosarcoma cell lines found that LH receptor activation induces cell proliferation. In addition, research in three canine T-cell lymphoma cell lines found that LH receptor activation induces cell proliferation, adhesion, and invasion as well as increases LH receptor expression. Research is needed to determine if LH reducing strategies using g***dotropin releasing hormone agonists will increase remission times in g***dectomized dogs with LH receptor-positive tumors. In conclusion, among the non-reproductive functions of go**ds, suppression of LH secretion and resulting LH receptor overexpression appear necessary in maintaining endocrine, musculoskeletal, and anti-neoplastic health.”

Your pet’s food and water bowls can be a hotspot for bacteria?🦠

Research shows that while 67% of pet owners use metal bowls, only about one-third actually wash them after meals, some just give them a quick wipe. That’s exactly how the bacterial party begins 🤢. And that slimy layer that forms in water bowls after a day? That’s biofilm...a coating of bacteria that’s extremely hard to remove. Biofilm can harbor harmful pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and MRSA, making it easy for infections to spread from your dog to your family.🦠⚠️

The type of food matters too. Wet food tends to harbor more bacteria than dry, and the leftover moisture mixed with dog saliva creates the perfect environment for bacterial growth.

Here's a quick break down of the pros and cons of different types of bowls:

🥣Plastic: Chemicals in plastic can leach over time and interfere with melanin production, potentially causing “Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis,” which leaves your dog’s nose and lips pink and irritated.

🫖Ceramic: According to Hartpury scientists, ceramic bowls can harbor dangerous bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and MRSA, especially if the glaze is cracked and the bowl keeps being used.

🥄Stainless steel: Low-quality steel bowls have occasionally been recalled for heavy metal contamination. Stick to high-grade stainless (18/8 or 304 steel) from trusted brands.

🥛Glass: Durable, borosilicate glass (like Pyrex) is a safe, kitchen-friendly option for both food and water.

🧼 No matter the material, the best way to protect your pet (and your family) is simple: wash bowls after every meal with hot water and soap. Once a week, run them through your dishwasher’s hot cycle. You can also disinfect by coating with hydrogen peroxide, waiting five minutes, then rinsing.

✨ Introducing The Interstellar Litter ✨
Some litters arrive… and they feel ordinary.

Sweet. Predictable. Expected.

But this one?
This one feels like destiny. 🌌

Born under a quiet night sky, these four tiny souls came into the world with names written in the stars. And from their very first breaths, we knew they were something cosmic.

💫 Cosmos, our only boy, carries the weight of the universe in his calm, observant eyes.
🌙 Luna, soft and soothing, brings a sense of peace like moonlight on still waters.
🌠 Milky Way, bold and bright, already leads with a joy too big for her little body.
🌌 Andromeda, strong and soulful, seems to know more than she should—like she’s been here before.

We call them the Interstellar Litter not just because of their names,
but because they’ve reawakened something in us—
a reminder that love this deep, and life this pure, is a miracle.

Here at Olive & Co., we don’t just breed dogs.
We raise purpose-driven companions with holistic care, ethical intention, and hearts set on finding their forever galaxies.

🌟 Now we want to hear from you:
Which pup do you feel most drawn to—Cosmos, Luna, Milky Way, or Andromeda?

Drop their name in the comments and tell us why.

Let’s see who’s already found their star ✨👇
