Boston Terriers are a non-sporting dog. They want to be your companion. They are comfortable around other animals and good with children. Of course, children need to be respectful of their pet and not hurt them.
American bred, the Boston Terrier was developed by crossing the Bulldog and the English Terrier. It was first recognized by the AKC in 1893. He is a very alert dog, a great watch dog, and easy to train. They are easy to maintain because they only need brushing once a week, and have clean habits.
