The American Kennel Club (AKC) first recognized the Boston Terrier as a breed in 1893. Named after its hometown - Boston, Massachusetts - the Boston Terrier is an all-American breed. You would never know this from their calm and loving personality, but they were originally bred to fight, as in dogfighting. Thankfully, that's a closed chapter in the story now.

The servants of wealthy gentlemen in England bred the breed by mating English bulldogs with the (now extinct) white English terrier. These bulldog-terrier dogs arrived in America in 1870, brought by Robert C. Hooper. Hooper crossed the imported dogs with the French Bulldog and thus the official Boston Terrier was born. This was not originally the name of the tribe.

In the late 1800's they were known as American Bull Terriers or Roundheads. The Bull Terrier doesn't last because there was already a breed of Bull Terrier with a much longer snout. Although they are called Boston Terriers, technically they are not classified as terriers according to the AKC.

People sometimes confuse Boston with French Bulldogs ("Frenchies"). They look alike, but Boston Terriers have pointy ears and French Bulldogs have rounded ears.

Boston Terriers have excellent temperaments, are very friendly and affectionate. This makes them a good choice for any age group, as these pups get along well with children and other dogs. True terrier breeds are irritable, even hyperactive and crazy. That makes sense? remember, they are not in the Terrier family, despite their name. Not the Boston Terrier.

Boston Terrier lovers insist that two are better than one. As they are companion dogs, they can get very lonely and sad if left alone for long periods of time, such as when children go to school and adults go to work.

They have a fun variety of funny noises on the comedy front, from their infamous loud snorts to sneezing, howling, squealing and 'behind' squeaks. They are cuddly people who love regular petting sessions. They are natural diggers, and if they aren't trapped in your lap, they will likely bury themselves and squeeze into a small space that feels like a protected burrow.

Boston Terriers live to make their owners happy. They have a cute look when they feel guilty. And even if they don't know what happened, if your dog senses that you're not pleased, he may look guilty, even if that's not the reason he's upset. Either that or you still don't realize what a mess they've gotten themselves into.

Boston Terriers are happy to be with you. Whether it's a long walk or a stroll on the couch, this is her favorite spot. Bostonians are happy to make most of their drill out of lead. If you have a secure fenced yard, this is a bonus for this breed. If you live in a city, big or small, the Boston Terrier is a great choice. (After all, they were named after a major American city)

Bostons are sturdy dogs that are easy to carry around and love to be with their people. A walk in the park, a wandering visit to the local dog park or an adventure to the corner cafe are all great options. They have a short coat and a smooth muzzle, so they don't tolerate heat or cold very well.

They will need sweaters or dog coats in the colder months which is a huge plus because they look so chic and adorable in their sweaters, hats and even boots. Bostons are indoor dogs. They cannot be kept outside except to go potty or for a walk, train or play and always with one of their humans.

Boston Terriers can overheat very quickly. Their very short snout and small airways mean they can't regulate their body temperature very well. All of this makes it harder for them to release heat when panting is the only way a dog can release heat.

Keeping track of the grooming of a Boston Terrier is very easy. Their short, straight coat does not shed much and they are low maintenance pets. Generally, four to six weeks can pass between baths.

If the dog smells awful, a bath to wash off any dirt and wetness may be the solution. If that doesn't work, the vet may need to take a look at your pup to check for fungus, teeth, or ear infections.

Their black and white coat only needs an excellent brushing about once a week. Whether with a soft bristle brush or a grooming mitt, they'll love the extra attention and pets!

Your nails will need to be trimmed every month or two. If you're not sure whether to brush, if you can hear their nails tapping and tapping the floor when they walk, they're overdue, and every few weeks, gently clean Boston's ears.

Many Boston Terriers seem to be smiling happily at you. You have to take care of your pearly whites. Teeth should be cleaned more often than other grooming tasks because Bostons are prone to dental problems. Two to three times a week, use a baby toothbrush or soft washcloth to apply special dog toothpaste on and around all teeth.
