Breed traits and characteristics

The Boston Terrier is an intelligent, lively, and affectionate breed with distinctive tuxedo markings that have earned them the nickname of ‘American Gentlemen’. Originally bred as fighter dogs, these compact canines still carry a strong territorial streak that can present itself when they feel their territory is being threatened.

Despite their small size, Boston Terriers are muscular and sturdy, with sleek, straight coats. One of their most distinct characteristics is their large ears that stand erect. They also boast large, round eyes that just add to their strikingly adorable appearance.

Boston Terriers make great family pets because they thrive on the attention they get from children. They also love to entertain people of all ages with their comical antics and unique expressions.

In addition, Boston Terriers make wonderful canine companions for elderly and apartment dwelling citizens due to their gentle and even temperaments.

10 reasons to add a Boston Terrier to your family

Boston Terriers are a dog adored by people of all ages, from young children to the elderly. Heck, even other dogs and some cats can’t help but love their friendly personalities.

For sure, their cool tuxedo coat markings and kind temperament are two of the Boston Terrier’s top qualities.

Their large eyes and endearing facial expressions will always melt your heart. Honestly, it’s hard to stay mad at these cute pups.

Their short coats require very little care and tend to remain smooth and shiny with just an occasional brushing session.

If you love small dogs but could do without the irritating yapping, the quiet Boston Terrier is ideal.

Their clever minds and their ability to learn quickly mean that even those who are training a dog for the first time will succeed.

Boston Terriers enjoy the company of people so much, which is not just limited to their owners. They quickly bond with people, so much so that it will make you laugh how happy they are to see your friends and family coming around.

While Boston Terriers have playful bursts, this energy usually fizzles out after a short walk in the park or a game of tug of war in the garden.

Boston Terriers are always up for meeting new people and will happily accept some petting from unfamiliar humans in the park.

Boston Terriers are naturally funny and eager to please. So, if they see their goofy antics cheering you up, you’ll gain a personal comedian and therapy animal.

Meet the Boston Terrier

The Boston Terrier is a small breed weighing between 15 and 25 pounds and standing 15 to 17 inches tall. They have a compact but well-proportioned build with broad chests. They sport short tails no more than 2-inches long, which can be either corkscrew, curled, or straight.

Their black and white “tuxedo-style” coat is one of their most adored attributes: smooth and shiny with short, straight hair. Their muzzles and chests are always white, but the rest of the body doesn’t necessarily have to be black. Seal or brindle is also possible, although much less common.

Their round heads feature a square jawline, naturally upright ears and big round eyes, set far apart. They are a brachycephalic breed with broad, flat, wrinkle-free noses that give a pushed in look. Their nose anatomy consists of tiny nostrils, long palates and a narrow trachea, which increases their tendency to snore and reverse sneeze (a rapid and recurrent nasal inhalation).

Moreover, like other brachycephalic dogs, they have a higher risk of several respiratory conditions. While they come with more health risks than some other breeds, they will live for 12 to 14 years if healthy. If you choose this breed, you should diligently observe them in case of any arising problems.

The temperament of a Boston Terrier

Boston Terriers are most known for their extreme friendliness to everyone they meet. They can immediately become friends with strangers, and their fun-loving, playful personality puts smiles on everyone’s faces. They can be a bit goofy, which makes them popular around children, and their cheerful disposition makes them excellent therapy dogs, too.

Despite their loving nature, training is still essential for this breed. They can become quite excitable when they meet people, and without established leadership, they may become mischievous.

Boston Terriers need a modest amount of exercise. They love nothing more than going for walks with their owner or playing with familiar children. They do best with one or two walks a day, or you can engage them in canine sports like agility. They are ingenious and quick learners so training them is not too challenging, though they can sometimes be stubborn. Even so, new dog parents will find they can teach them basic commands, tricks and ball-games that will keep their bodies and minds active.

Boston Terriers are generally quiet canines and are not yappy like other small dog breeds. They are not aggressive either, but ​males might scrap with other dogs if they feel they are invading their territory.

Best homes for a Boston Terrier

Because they are generally good around children and other pets, Boston Terriers can be a good choice for first-time dog owners. Moreover, although they are super playful, they tire pretty quickly, so they do not require a tonne of exercise. Nonetheless, early socialisation is always crucial in moulding them into great family pets. Plus, as they are so friendly, they do best in a home where there is usually someone around.

Because of their small size, Boston Terriers do not take up or need much space. They also adapt well to different environments and live happily in apartments or small houses. Plus, they don’t bark or yap much, which is a welcoming benefit for those living close to their neighbours.

FAQs about the Boston Terrier

The Pedigree Paws is completely against unethical breeding and, as a result, only partners with the respected and trusted Boston Terrier breeders. What's more, as there are complications around breeding Boston Terriers, we ensure all our breeders have years of experience with this particular canine. So by being careful about who we work with, we know these puppies are raised in a nurturing environment and receive the care they need to become high-quality Boston Terriers.

Suppose you're becoming a dog owner for the first time and looking for a loving and funny addition to your family. In that case, a Boston Terrier may be a great choice. These canines are affectionate, hilarious and adaptable. Plus, they are easy to train and quickly pick up basic commands and tricks.

What's more, regardless of your home environment, a Boston Terrier will fit in with you. They can live happily in houses, flats or apartments. Likewise, they adore kids and are great with other animals. Thus, they do well in multi-pet households and homes with young children.

As pet owners ourselves, we know all about the negative experiences possible with rogue dog breeders. We also understand that it isn't easy knowing who to trust when looking for a new furry friend. For these reasons, we built The Pedigree Paws platform, aspiring to create a place where puppy lovers can confidently choose their new companion. To demonstrate our dependability, we have a comprehensive application process and strict requirements that our breeders must follow.

As a brachycephalic breed, Boston Terriers have a higher risk of contracting various medical conditions. Therefore, it's imperative to ensure these dogs are being bred humanely and safely. As a pet matchmaking agency, we do everything in our control to ensure the puppies on our platform and their parents are healthy.

As a result, our breeders meet several requirements regarding health and wellbeing. First, they prove that their breeding dogs are healthy with DNA tests. They also demonstrate they have the knowledge and experience needed to breed these canines. Furthermore, they take each puppy for a complete health checkup with the vet before advertising them for sale.

Ethically raised puppies stay with their mother and littermates for the first eight to twelve weeks of their life. This time is vital for their growth, development, and health.

What's more, as the puppies stay in the breeders' homes, they get familiar with humans straight away. So with this early socialisation, they will arrive at their forever home as friendly, human-loving pups. Regarding the availability date, the breeder will confirm it with you if it is not on the website listing.

We know getting a pedigree puppy with health predispositions can come with many concerns. At The Pedigree Paws, we strive to be fully transparent in our operations and want our customers to feel confident. Therefore, you can arrange a video call with the breeder before the sale to meet your new pup virtually. Plus, as well as seeing your new furry friend, you'll see first-hand the health and temperament of its parents.

All respectable pedigree breeders will register their offspring and send the puppy's new owners proof of their registration status. You can rest assured that all our partners do this, and you will receive the official registration documents together with your new Boston Terrier. The certification will come from a leading pedigree organisation like The Kennel Club and is valid worldwide.

With animal welfare our number one priority, we are serious about choosing the best Boston Terrier breeders. Therefore, The Pedigree Paws is not open to any breeder to list their offspring. Instead, they must go through an extensive application and selection process.

However, it doesn't stop at our in-house assessments. Our breeders must also demonstrate that they meet the top international pedigree associations' conditions. As a result, our platform is always a 100% trustworthy and ethical choice to choose your new Boston Terrier puppy.

We believe the only place to breed animals is in a nurturing environment like a family home. For this reason, one of our strict requirements is that breeders must raise their puppies where they live.

There are many reasons for this, the most important being that this allows them to stay with their mother. Unfortunately, this is not the case with puppy mills and commercial facilities. These places usually separate them from the mother too early and keep the puppies in cages on their own.

There are many other benefits to raising puppies in family homes, from better health to early socialisation.

Getting a new puppy is always an exciting experience, anticipating how your life will change with your new furry friend. However, it's important to remember that this is still a massive change for your young pup. So naturally, they might feel scared or shy at first.

You can help your new Boston Terrier adapt quickly by creating a calm and safe environment. Start by placing a comfy bed in a dark environment away from any activity and noise. Then, keep them leashed when they arrive and gauge their energy and emotions. If they appear anxious or don't want to interact, you can let them rest before showing them around.
