Today a Boston Terrier makes for an excellent buddy. It has been bred down to become companionable, as it was originally bred as a fighting dog. The breed is very decorous, gentle, yet alert and quite intelligent as well. They socialize well with children, and the elderly, this type of dog adores attention, which makes them a perfect family dog. A Boston Terrier will only bark when necessary, so they make for an excellent pet if you live in an apartment or condo

Let me start out by saying that Boston Terriers are very special dogs that can do special things. They are highly intelligent and learn quickly. They do very well in Obedience, Agility, Flyball, Therapy work and even Weight pulling! Most of all they excel at being your "best friend"!

However, they are not for everyone.
Bostons require a lot of time and attention. They are, and have been bred to be, companions. They will languish without human contact. They are not "outside" dogs!

Boston Terriers are very active dogs that love to play. Without some basic training they may jump on you and maybe even give little nips while playing. Some Bostons have been given up for adoption or dropped off at the local "dog pound" for these very reasons.

Boston Terriers are also prone to some health problems, some of which require expensive Veterinary attention. We are NOT trying to discourage you from adopting a Boston into your life, We just want you to be aware that these wonderful dogs have become very popular and because they are so "cute" many people have run out to buy them before doing their homework so to speak. There are quite a few Boston Terriers being bred without regard to their health or temperament and ending up in the pound or worse.

Please buy ONLY from a reputable breeder
