| Origin |
The Boston Terrier breed originates
from Boston in the United States and was started in the 19th century.
It was developed by crossing the English White Terrier and English Bulldog.
The breed originally weighed over 30 pounds. They were then bred with
smaller females until they became the size that they are today. Although
their ancestors were used in dog fights, the Boston Terrier has traditionally
been considered a companion dog. |
| Description |
This intelligent, gentle, family
loving breed makes an excellent family pet. They are good with children,
other pets and dogs, especially if they are socialized with them when
they are young. They are very easy to train and love to please their master.
They are considered companion dogs, therefore they do better when they
aren't left on their own for long periods of time. They do require plenty
of play and exercise time, but can work well in apartments as long as
they get outside play each day. |
| Health |

eye injuries to protruding eyes, bracheocephalic syndrome, skin and heart
tumors, patellar luxation, hemivertebrae, and skin allergies. Should not
overexert themselves in hot or cold weather because it make cause breathing
problems. |
