Boston Terrier

A Boston Terrier puppy.

Boston Terriers are a breed of dog.

They are usually very small, but can also be bred as medium sized dogs. They are considered to be cute dogs and are getting ever more popular. They are in many commercials and many celebrities have them.

Boston Terriers are a smart breed of dogs. They can be extremely hyper, but overall are well behaved. Their excitement and enthusiasm is a perk of their personality. They are compactly built with short heads, short tails, but strong limbs. They are smooth coated, with colors of brindle, seal or black and evenly marked with white.

Boston Terriers are inside dogs that love affection. This breed is balanced with being independent (sometimes stubborn) and affectionate and wanting attention from humans. They require very little work when a part of a family and they are great dogs for children.

Caring for a Boston Terrier requires little work. With a short coat, Bostons typically need a bath every one to two weeks and brushing is not necessary although it helps remove loose hairs and reduces shedding. Bostons love rawhides and other chew toys that help with keeping their teeth healthy but brushing your dog's teeth is recommended by vets for any breed. Boston Terriers do have sensitive stomachs and will eat grass when their stomach is upset but for the most part, this breed does not have restrictions on what they cannot eat.
