Boston Terrier

Companion and Toy Dogs

The Boston Terrier is a commanding Molossoid breed with ancient roots as a guardian and working dog. Laid-back and easygoing by nature; they are patient and friendly with children; though they are a very vocal breed that may not suit noise-sensitive environments; and they do not cope well when left alone for long periods. The Boston Terrier is content with moderate daily exercise and short walks, and a weekly brush keeps their coat looking its best. The Boston Terrier thrives with a confident, experienced handler who understands the breed and can provide consistent leadership.
