Boston
terrier information
The Boston terrier is a small,
sturdy, little dog. When the dog is clipped in a show cut the
body gives off a round appearance. The skull is slightly
rounded. The muzzle is shorter than the skull, is not pointed,
with a slightly pronounced stop. The round eyes are black or
dark brown. The ears are dropped covered in long hair. The teeth
should meet in a scissors bite. The legs are straight and medium
boned. Dewclaws are usually removed. The tail is carried over
the back. The double coat is soft to the touch. The outer coat
is 3 to 4 inches (7-10cm.) long and is coarser and curlier than
the soft dense undercoat. Coat colours include solid white,
cream, grey or apricot. White is preferred in the show ring. The
coat is hypo-allergenic. Pet owners usually clip the dog in an
easy care puppy cut that is the same length all over the body.
The dog can be shown with it's coat clipped like a poodle or
with a long, puffy coat with the feet and muzzle clipped.
Temperament
The
Boston Terrier is gentle, alert, very intelligent, well-mannered
and enthusiastic. Without the proper amount of mental and
physical exercise they can become rambunctious and a bit high
strung. They are very sensitive to the tone of one's voice.
Boston's like to learn and therefore are not difficult to train.
Their intelligence ensures they pick things up quickly. If the
humans around the dog do not display the
leadership that all dogs need, they will become wilful as they
begin to believe they are running the show and need to tell YOU
what to do. Do not allow the Boston Terrier to developed Small
Dog Syndrome, human induced behaviours where the dog believes he
is pack leader to humans. This can cause a varying degree of
behaviour issues. Boston's need a gentle, but firm, confident,
consistent pack leader who knows how to display authority over
the dog. It is a canine instinct to have a strong leader and
this little guy is no exception to the rule. Either the human
will be that leader, or the dog will. Some owners have reported
that their dogs are good watchdogs barking only when necessary,
while other owners have reported their female Boston Terriers do
not bark at the door at all. Most reliable with children,
especially good with elderly people and very friendly with
strangers. The Boston Terrier is playful, very affectionate and
likes to be part of the family. Very popular in the United
States, due above all to its excellent character. They generally
get along well with non-canine pets. Without proper leadership
from humans communicating to the dog what is acceptable
behaviour
and what is not, they can become dominant and may fight with
other dogs. These little dogs may be difficult to housebreak.
Size
Height: 15-17 inches
(38.1-43cm.)
Weight: 10-25 pounds (4.5-11.3kg.)
Needs
A
long daily walk and sessions of free play in a fenced-in yard
are all the Boston Terrier needs to stay in shape. They are
fairly light weight and can easily be carried.
Boston Terriers are good for
apartment as well as country living. They are relatively
inactive indoors and do okay without a yard. This breed is
sensitive to weather extremes.
Grooming
The smooth, short-haired coat
is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush and
bathe only when necessary. Wipe the face with a damp cloth every
day and clean the prominent eyes carefully. Check both the ears
and eyes for grass seeds. Ticks may also lurk in the ears. The
nails should be clipped from time to time. This breed is an
average shedder and does not have a strong doggie odour.

Origins
Bred down in size from pit-fighting dogs of the bull and terrier
types, the Boston Terrier originally weighed up to 44 pounds (20
kg.) (Olde
Boston Bulldogge).
It is difficult to believe that these stylish, little dogs were
once tough pit-fighters. In fact, their weight classifications
were once divided as lightweight, middle and heavyweight.
Originating in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, the Boston
Terrier is one of the few breeds that was developed in the USA.
The original Boston Terriers were a cross between the English
Bulldog and now extinct English White Terrier. Around 1865, the
coachmen employed by the wealthy people of Boston began to
interbreed some of the dogs owned by their employers. One of
these crosses, between an English White Terrier and an English
Bulldog resulted in a dog named Hooper's Judge. Judge weighed
over 30 pounds (13.5 kg.). He was bred down in size with a
smaller female and one of those male pups was bred to yet a
smaller female. Their offspring interbred with one or more
French Bulldogs, providing the foundation for the Boston
Terrier. By 1889 the breed had become sufficiently popular in
Boston that fanciers formed the American Bull Terrier Club, but
this proposed name was not well liked by Bull Terrier lovers.
Nor did they like the breeds nickname, "roundheads". Shortly
after, the breed was named the Boston Terrier after its
birthplace. The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1893. It was
first shown in Boston in 1870. In the early years the colour and
markings were not very important but by the 1900's the breeds
distinctive markings and colour were written into the standard.
Terrier only in name, the Boston Terrier has mellowed from the
pit fighting dogs of the past.
