Where do Boston Terriers come from?- The first Boston terrier called Hooper's Judge, was a cross between an English Bulldog and White English Terrier, bred in the United States of America in the 1860's. The dogs where originally bred for pit fighting purposes.

Appearance- Boson Terriers also known as Boston Bull Terriers or Boston Bull's are small breed Canines, with well toned muscular bodies. They have short faces with flat noses and large, far-apart, dark eyes. Their ears are exceptionally erect while still being petite. The dogs' neck is slightly arched and chest proud and broad. Terrier colors range from various mixtures of black and white, brown and white or brindle and white. If a short hair, clean-cut dog, requiring minimal maintenance and grooming is your preference, the Boston Terrier is definitely recommended.

Doggy dimensions - Standing tall at rather impressive 38 to 43 cm for a small dog and weighing in at between 5-11 Kilograms, these dogs are well built when comparing their height to weight. However there are International show weight standards for Boston's of no less than 5 Kilograms or more than 12.5 Kilograms to fall within a perfect range. It is very important that the dogs' frame be considered when the weight is calculated.

Perfect Personality- These dogs have perfect personalities being both strong and loving. However it is important to keep in mind that animals have different personalities just as humans do, ranging form charming to plain rude. Boston's tend to be a little neurotic and this can lead to over activeness and non-stop yapping. A great advantage to the breed is the ease of training due to the dogs' super intelligence, voice tone sensitivity and eagerness to learn new things. Boston terriers are wonderful house dogs once trained. The method of training employed is the most important facet to determine ultimate success and duration of training process. Strict or harsh training methods should be avoided entirely as it will just pressurize and increase nerves of the already hyperactive dog.

General health problems- The dogs are unfortunately very inbred and poor breeding practices among dishonest breeders is the order of the day leading especially to mental retardation, a common condition associated with terriers. Other chronic health problems include breathing difficulties and other related conditions such as snoring, grunting and drooling. Due to the prominent position of the eyes, eye injuries also occur more frequently. Cesarean procedures are popular as natural births are too painful due to the large head-size of the pups and narrow shape of the pelvis.

Healthy pet- Balance is key to keeping your doggy happy and health. Work out a balanced exercise and dietary program to eliminate over-activity and illness. Long walks, running and playing is a must to the fitness regime. Severe gases and obesity can be cause be fatty and high fiber diets.

Living conditions- Boston's adapt to any size home and play area from apartments to farms. As long as there is a park or playground close by for regular exercise the dog will be satisfied.
