Breed Info

Boston Terrier

The Boston Terrier, often called the "American Gentleman," is a well-mannered, playful, and affectionate dog, suitable for apartment living due to their dislike of harsh climates.

Originating in the 1800s from a cross between the English Terrier and the Bulldog, they were the first non-sporting dog recognized by the AKC and remain popular for their distinct colors and markings.

Their personality is intelligent, smart, and affectionate. They require adequate training and early socialization to thrive, learning quickly but potentially being reserved around strangers. They are lively and enjoy fetch.

Regarding environment, Boston Terriers adapt well to apartment life and owners who work long hours. They are friendly with children and other pets, tolerating harsh weather poorly, thus preferring indoors. Large crowds are not ideal.

Exercise needs are significant for this small but energetic breed, requiring 45 minutes to an hour of daily play or walks to prevent health issues.

Grooming is relatively low-maintenance: weekly brushing, as-needed bathing, daily face cleaning (especially around their large eyes), regular ear checks, and nail trimming. They shed lightly, which is easily managed with brushing.

Our Boston Terrier puppies come from USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers, ensuring they are not from "Puppy Mills" and are high-quality additions to families.
