Boston Terriers are cute, fun-loving dogs. Bostons actually hail from the United States (Boston) and were originally “bred down” from a larger, English Bull and English White Terrier mix. Bostons were originally nicknamed “round heads” because of their large, round heads. Bostons were originally classified as a form of bulldogs, but were finally labeled “terriers” and named after their home town after several years. Boston Terriers are also referred to as the Boston bull, they exhibit a few traits similar to bulldogs, including their compact size and well-muscled frames. Like bull dogs, the Boston Terrier was originally bred to participate in fights with bulls and other dogs. Since then, the breed has been bred with less aggression.
Bostons are relatively small dogs, with cute round heads and pointed ears.A Boston’s face is full of expression through its short, wide muzzle and large round eyes. They have broad, flat heads and, unlike bulldogs, they have no wrinkles on their face or body. They have a nice, square muzzle that leads to a large black nose. The Boston’s body is thick with a broad chest and strong neck. Strong, straight legs support its body. The smooth, short-haired coat of the Boston Terrier is easy to groom. To groom a Boston, you should comb and brush it with a firm bristle brush. You should also wipe a Boston’s face with a damp cloth every day and clean their eyes carefully. Bostons shed about as much as any other short-haired dog, and they require regular nail clippings. They have sensitive ears and should be checked regularly for grass seeds, ticks, and ear mites. Bostons only need to bathed when necessary, such as after a swim in the local creek.
The modern-day Boston Terrier is a gentle, responsive dog who carries itself with class. Bostons enjoy learning and are very receptive to the rewards of being trained. Because they are intelligent, they learn quicker than other breeds, making them easy to train. Male Bostons make good watchdogs and bark when strangers (and squirrels!) approach their territory. They take pride in defending their masters. However, female Bostons are milder in their barking patterns; if stranger approaches they may not bark at all. Boston Terriers are great “housedogs” and are relatively sedentary. They are sensitive to extreme hot and extreme cold weather; they thrive in mild climates. They do well in both an apartment setting and in an open-space setting, adapting to both indoor environments and back yards. Boston terriers need regular walks and outdoor play to keep healthy and happy. They are picky about walks and can’t walk for a long length of time. If they get tired, however, they’re small enough for you to carry home.
Last and not least the Boston Terriers have a long life that averages from 13 to 15 years.
