Boston Terrier

Overview

The Boston Terrier, often called the “American Gentleman,” is a small companion breed known for its distinctive tuxedo-like coat and lively personality. Originally developed in the United States in the late 19th century, the breed was created by crossing English Bulldogs with now-extinct white terriers. Boston Terriers quickly became popular for their friendly disposition, compact size, and adaptability to city living. They are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train and well-suited for a variety of households. Boston Terriers are affectionate, social dogs that thrive on human companionship and enjoy being part of family activities. They tend to be playful and energetic without requiring excessive exercise, making them a great choice for apartment living or smaller homes. Their gentle and friendly temperament often allows them to get along well with children and other pets when properly socialized. With regular care, moderate exercise, and attentive companionship, the Boston Terrier makes a loyal and entertaining family companion.
