I got the impression that my vet wasn't used to seeing new puppies in such good condition - he seemed pleasantly surprised. She has a great temperament - energetic but not wild, calm but not timid, curious & alert, already bonding with the family, especially me & my wife, she will relax and let the kids hold her, eager to please and going to the bathroom outside regularly for a treat. We have no doubt that she will be a great dog for our family.

Who is Wired?
Wired is a family owned kennel. We established ourselves in 2001 breeding American Pit Bull Terriers and Beagles and in 2004 as an IOEBA registered kennel specializing in Olde Boston Bulldogges. Currently we specialize Olde Boston and Olde English Bulldogges.
Owners, James and Becky Maxwell, have been breeding and training dogs together for over 8 years. James comes from a family rich in breeding history. Becky has found her specialty in training and has a true gifting when it comes to house breaking dogs.
Together with their boys Peyton and Kayden, Wired Kennels is operated. Both boys have been active in handling dogs at IOEBA sanctioned conformation shows. In fact our GR. CH. Wired's Kodiak of RBB won his champion title under the hand of Peyton and CH. Wired's Hoss of FMR earned his title while being handled by Kayden.
Our goal has always been to establish Wired as our full time establishment of breeding, kenneling, and training dogs. Our goal is becoming more and more realistic as our program grows.
What is Wired?
A lot of people ask us, "What does Wired mean?". We have always had a vision of doing two things. Owning a kennel and owning a coffee shop. The name "wired" did a really good job describing both traits that each business held in common. It is what we wanted. Dogs that are energetic, alert, and ready ... and we wanted to help get people to that same place too!
The kennel is already a reality. We are hoping in a couple of years that the coffee shop will be too!
What is an OBB today?
There are two answers to this question. First, there are OBBs that have a history of purebred linage. Examples of these are lines of dogs bred by the late Neil Rutan, the late Charles McCaughin, and the Henley family. You can trace back many of these lines for several generations with some going back many decades in history.
The other side of this is OBBs that were produced from a series of foundation breedings. A foundation breeding can be a cross of a Boston Terrier to a few other bully breeds to create a dog to begin an OBB breeding program. These foundational dogs are generally referred to as F1 – F4 bred dogs. Foundation breeding takes several years to get to a point of consistency. Reputable foundation breeders will often have several breeders that they work with for accountability, mentoring, and reference. They generally work close with a registry, like the IOEBA, to help insure that their program is as successful as possible. The important issue regarding foundation breeding is that they remain as historically accurate as possible. Because of this, not all bully breeds can be used in a foundational program. For information on approved dogs for foundational breedings contact the IOEBA.
Healthy or not?
This is a question that comes up a lot. In our breeding program we focus on two breeds of dogs, the Olde Boston Bulldogge and the Olde English Bulldogge.
The Olde Boston is still a relatively young breed, in that there are still very few breeders specializing in OBB. While there are cases like the Henley line that go back many generations, the "market" for this breed has been dormant up until about 15 years ago. For this reason there are some things that we are still learning about the breed. As of this writing, there are no major health concerns associated with the breed. While nothing is perfect in breeding and issues can present themselves, there has not been issues that appear so frequently that it has been found common in the breed. What we do know is the Olde Boston does not share many of the health concerns found in Boston terriers and English bulldogs. Some these include breathing difficulty, incomplete eye sockets, and breeding /whelping problems; just to name a few.
The Olde English is a breed that was a by-product of selective breeding through foundational programs. The goal has always been to produce a bulldog that is healthier and more functional than that of the modern day English bulldog. However; because all these dogs are /were foundationally bred to begin with, it is very important to know about health issues in the lines that you are considering to purchase from. Breeders have different ways of culling their lines in order to improve the health and soundness of their program. Some cull very hard while other will let certain things slide. So be sure to ask the breeder how they improve the health of their line through culling.
IOEBA and UCA exclusive ...
There are many registries out there that we could take our registration business to but at Wired we have chosen to exclusively register with the IOEBA and their sister all breed registry UCA. These registries set the bar that other bully registries try to achieve.
The IOEBA has proven the dedication that we desire to see in promoting and educating people about the Olde Boston and Olde English. Here are some of the many reasons we register exclusively with these registries:
If you purchase a Wired dog and receive anything other than IOEBA or UCA papers it isn't a Wired dog!
How does shipping work?
If you purchase a puppy from us that requires shipping in the USA or Canada, we will take care of all the arrangements for you.
We ship our pups using Continental airlines as our first choice of airline carriers. In paying for shipping all costs are covers including the crate, health certificates, and cargo charges. We will also arrange all the flight plans. The only responsibility of the buyer is showing up to pick up the puppy.
We will ship our dogs anywhere in the world. If you are considering purchasing a dog from us and you live outside North America, please contact us about shipping arrangements and requirements.
Buyers may also feel free to choose local pick up, or if you prefer chaperoned flight or ground transport contact us for current market prices.
Why Wired?
Wired is the most recognized breeder of Olde Boston Bulldogges in the world. We have shipped our dogs all over the United States. We have dogs in both Canada and Europe. Wired has been working with interested parties in Asia and South America that have been looking at bringing OBBs into their respective areas of the world.
Wired is the kennel that breeders turn to. Many kennels across the United States base a large portion of their breeding stock off of dogs produced by Wired Kennels or our studs.
Our commitment, knowledge, and experience in this breed is second to none.
