Boston Terrier overview
Originated in the United States for use as a companion and ratting dog. Active, well-mannered, thoughtful and entertaining, good with children and requires moderate exercise. Size makes it ideal for the urban environment, but is not suited to hotter climates. Their proportionally large head often requires Caesarean deliveries of puppies.
They were developed in the USA, as the result of crossing an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier. The breed is famed for its sunny disposition. Content to live in the country or in the city, the Boston is highly adaptable and intelligent. Often referred to as ‘the American gentleman’ among dogs.
