Boston terriers were never on our radar. Just so happens that one night when we were all asleep one managed to get into our backyard and was scratching at the fence, it woke my daughter 15-year-old daughter up, and she didn’t know what to do with him so she brought them in the house for the night, and I had a sleepover. So the next day while I was already gone to work on aware, my wife woke up to this surprise, she decided he couldn’t have gone far and let him go so he could find his owners, she said he came back within 10 minutes and was scratching at the door and crying to get in, so we boarded him in our laundry room while we were at work in school for the day, put up fliers around the neighborhood that afternoon, and his rightful owner contacted us that night, and Winston was returned. Long story short, within the 10 hours we had that dog we fell in love with him, and decided we had to have one, so we made Penny our family Christmas present five months later! Can’t imagine life without a Boston now!

[@dianagillam3557]

I have had five different dog breeds in my life and loved them all, but until my Boston, Mollie, I have never LOVED a dog so much. She is my fourth child. Boston's have more personality, intelligence, and love than any dog I've ever known. I am sold and a Boston owner for life. You will never be sorry if you get a Boston. Just feed a high quality, low grain food like we do and your dog will barely ever fart and it won't smell at all. So if you are on the fence, go for it.

[@michaelh7527]

Boston Terriers are the perfect family pet. They are loyal, playful, patient, and just don't get upset about anything. Getting a Boston Terrier is a no brainer.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Agreed! Thanks for the comments

[@stephaniepersin4145]

I got my Boston Terrier in 2011 at a rescue as a 3-4 year old. Now he’s 12-13. I love Boston Terriers, best Breed ever.

[@clivewhiting2240]

I've wanted a Boston for years and now it's the right time. My partner showed me a pup this morning and to cut a long story short, we pick up our first Boston in just over a month! Their mischievous nature always makes me laugh, they are great little characters and watching some of these videos only confirms we have made the right decision.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Love it!!

[@marciemillar4199]

Over the years I have had 5 Bostons. Grew up with collies, shepherds, rescues - big dogs. Then my job got demanding......needed to find an office people, (everybody) friendly quiet patient like to be inside with you pal! I was so nervous but Bostons came into my life and the perfect dog for work or anywhere with any one has been a dream come true. Contrary to online "hyper" descriptions all 5 have been mellow go with the flow, love children, playing ball, frizbee, swimming and boogie boarding......excellent retrievers not hyper just tons of fun. They have all been to "school" 3 out of 5 have been best in class. They are and have been the best companions ever, they do not need leashes except for social safety, always with you and at your feet....bit if a tripping hazard.....but they are always by your side!

[@donnacarbonaro8566]

I lost my 14 y/o Boston in January. I miss her every day.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

So sorry for your loss

[@chelseyross4789]

I love my Boston!! She was my Granny’s dog before she passed and I always told her that if something ever happened that I wanted her! My Granny passed away in March of 2015 and I’ve had my Rosie girl since August of 2016 (my cousin had her for a little while after Granny died). Literally my favorite breed!!!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Hey m sorry to hear about the passing of your Granny but it sounds like something really special came out of it

[@lauracarvajal8258]

Yes, you should always get a Boston Terrier. 💗

[@pmoney3688]

They’re truly a pain in the ass! But if you love dogs, well worth it! The love they give for outweighs their eccentricities🤜🏽

[@aaronsdrama1757]

I agree, i can’t just have one lol. They are so smart and follow me everywhere.

[@Conservative_froggymax]

My Boston Terrier is 4 years old. His name is Guido and he's my best friend. Got him at 9 weeks old and has the most incredible personality I've ever seen. He does have very bad separation anxiety but we've been together 24/7 for past 3 years due to being homeless. I lost my 17 year old German shepherd on December 30th which destroyed me but she was all that Guido knew and they were inseparable. Dogs truly grieve and it breaks my heart. I've been giving him extra attention and he sleeps with me even in the backseat of my truck under the blanket behind my knees like clockwork. I'm a permanently disabled domestic violence victim and have been homeless for so long due to everything that was done legally was done against federal law so I've been fighting it this entire time and have no support system since all of my family has passed away. Guido has been the best dog going through all of this and doesn't mind sitting in my truck all day and night which is where we're living unfortunately. I do take him to the dog park and let him out to play of course but he always wants to be with me. I just took him up the vet for his shots and the vet said that I've done very well caring for him in my situation and he's in perfect health and truly happy. Everywhere we go people fall in love with him which is so easy to do. You talking about the heat really helped because I know how dangerous it is which is why i have to run my truck during the day for a/c so he doesn't overheat. Thankfully it's a diesel but from running so much it needs work. Do you have any recommendations for people who end up homeless with their Boston? I refuse to give him away or ever let him out of my sight but any advice would be appreciated. He eats before I do and never goes without. I even plugged an inverter into my truck with a heating pad then put a blanket over him which keeps him warm through the winter (Colorado) and he loves that thing so much even just to keep his nose warm. Wish I could post pictures on here but thinking about making a KZbin channel to give ideas for homeless with dogs that I've been able to come up with. Thank you so much for your advice and your girl is gorgeous 😍

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

It sounds like you TRULY love your Boston and have done an amazing job for caring for him no matter the situation. As far as tips givin your situation, which I'm sorry you're going through, I'm not sure what tips I have that would help. It sounds like you're doing a great job for caring for him. All I can say is you're an amazing Boston parent and I hope your personal situation get better for you and sorry for what you're going through. I think you doing your own channel would be a great idea!

[@daveroberts8362]

I agree you sound like an amazing person!!

[@daviddeboer87]

We had a rescue Boston for eight years and would not even consider another dog. I do not think he ever knew he had a missing back leg. He had some minor surgery on his front paw on the same side, and he ran around on two legs on the same side of his body for two days. He is gone, and we now have another. No dog could replace our first Boston, but this one is pretty close. We missed a snoring dog in the house and having a little comedian in a tuxedo running around. We are again enjoying this fantastic breed and laughing every day.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of your first Boston. But I’m glad to hear you’re having fun with your second!

[@dsjanc]

YES. They are really gentle, the sweetest and smart dog.

[@maureenrobertson6773]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@APG-fu6gk]

I can't thank you enough!! I too was torn between a French bulldog and a Boston terrier. A very good friend of mine is a vet tech. She said hands down Boston!! The more I learn about them the more I have to have one!! Thanks again!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I’m glad you like them and they are helping! I really appreciate the kind words. My wife really wanted a Frenchie to lol

[@Maxchesley72]

I've been owned by bostons my whole life. I've got two boston boys now--they're the best part of every day!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Lol been owned is right 😂

[@light_switch___8920]

Cute , and lazy ( my kinda dog ), I also seem to bond with my Boston terriers a lot more than every other person in the house . I love em and all ways look toward into spending time with them

[@nell8170]

I have a Boston called Stanley- Hugo....he's the love of my life!!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Great name!

💪🏼❤️ Boston Terriors are my favorite breed.

[@YannickS1984]

I've got two little Bostons, 2 females. Pixie is 1 year old, Kaya is 8 months. I'm never getting another breed again. 😍 Such sweet, loving and loyal dogs. Every morning again I can't help but get up with a smile on my face.

[@jsung352]

We have a Boston named Powers, and she has brought so much happiness and joy to our family.

[@maureenstanzione339]

Beautiful Bella… We Love You!!♥️🫂♥️🥰😍🥰hi Donnie it’s been awhile since I’ve been able to watch all your videos.. a lot of phone issues and my laptop had a bad virus couldn’t be fixed 😔but I’m back and catching up now! Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! HUGSSS XOXOXO♥️🫂♥️

[@flipmode4792]

We just got a Boston named Tyrion and they’re so worth it

[@simonjames0806]

We love ours, and at 13 months she is still absolutely bonkers!

[@kathybryan4441]

Hi Donnie, I just got my 1st Boston on Monday May 31, 2021 - I found you videos on you tube and watched a lot of them before I decided to get a Boston. I had felt with a lot of scammers & fake adds. I finally posted a want add for a Boston puppy and got Roscoe. He is a super cute, black & white Boston with black freckles. Thank you for your videos, you made me see why I should get a Boston. I have always had large dogs, Boxers, since I got Roscoe, I have been laughing every day and have enjoyed Roscoe non-stop. Your videos are great! Thank you!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Thank you so much 😊 And congrats on your new fur baby!

[@baileyparrish1374]

I would love to help with a video some day! I love my Boston’s sooooo much

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Thanks 😊 how old is your Boston now. You should send me an email it is in my about me section.

[@keegthegeek]

This video should be just 1 second long and him saying Yes.

Lol 😂

I am thinking about getting a Boston Terrier. I am older and want a companion . My Aunt had one and she said they are the best

[@macizzyy]

Im so sad because my boston is at the babysitter for the 5th month now BUT HES COMING BACK TODAY 🥰🥰🥰

[@hawaiibound1907]

YES!! Bostons are so special. I wouldn’t have another breed. Thanks for sharing this video. Your baby is so beautiful 😍 Much aloha from Hawaii.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

You’re welcome! Hawaii sounds nice right now.

[@brittanywagstaff1945]

We wanted a French bulldog but got a Boston and she is literally the best💕

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

That was me and Emily too lol

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

Was gonna get the English Bull Terrier but since owning one is a major pain in the neck where I live (gotta pass various exams, obtain a license, never let the dog off leash or without muzzle) the Boston Terrier might be the next best thing for me.

[@JackWilliamsG]

I can’t remember ever seeing a video with 500+ likes and no dislikes

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Thanks

[@bigdan827_8]

You've got a good sized Boston. Mine must have been the runt of the litter, because his max weight has been no more than 17 pounds and he's 7 now. He definitely has every Boston trait, especially the gas that no one in your video mentioned, but he's still just a little fellah. He's a great dog anyway, no matter his size or his odor. My last Boston was a few pounds bigger, but just as playful, friendly, and stinky. They are all great.

[@mokwaifleur]

Once a Boston, allways a Boston. Even better - have two.❤

[@audiebell9556]

I have one Boston Terrier left, Dexter and he took on some of his predecessors (Sparky) traits which have been mentioned here already. I became attached to the breed when the woman I am now with introduced me to hers. I should say he introduced him self to me by jumping into my lap at her home in WV. He was with us for 14 years and we got Dexter as companion to Sparky. I have not been able to go or do any type of activity without either being at my side or in next to me. If your in need of a companion around or in the house get a Boston. Don't leave them outside in Cold climates as they want the warmth of inside. .

[@earljackson2338]

We got Chandler at the end of January 2015. Now I see time as BC (Before Chandler) and CE (Chandler Era), and can't imagine it any other way.

[@Poetessa2]

Rescuing My Sweet Boston Georgia, It was not easy but soooo worth it!!! I wasn't planning on getting a Boston 3 and a half years ago (even though I always wanted one and think they are the cutest dogs ever) but I struggle with some serious health issues so walking an energetic dog regularly was not ideal, so 12 years ago I chose a tiny tea cup Chihuahua "Mama" ( who just passed away a few weeks ago... :-(((((( ) But 3 and a half years ago I had to step in and rescue a 2 year old Boston who was in a horrific situation. She had been abandoned/surrendered 3 times in her 2 short years, was clearly abused and her present situation was dire. I found out that she had been left alone day and night in a filthy apt for several months with only occasional feedings, so she was extremely skinny, no longer house broken, extremely terrified and aggressive towards other animals and terrified of people, especially men and had severe separation anxiety and PTSD. This is NOT typical of this breed but abuse and neglect does terrible things. I knew I couldn't keep her because I feared for my tiny Chihuahua's life and my 2 rescue cats because she was not socialized and was aggressive towards them, not to mention the terrible mess she made anywhere and everywhere, partly from nerves and gastro problems. The poor baby was a hot mess!! It was not fun for anyone. My family begged me to surrender her because the situation was extremely stressful and dangerous for everyone but I knew her chances of finding a safe and loving home was next to impossible due to her physical and behavioural issues and I was so afraid of where she may end up. And just when I was at the end of my rope I looked into those terrified little eyes begging me not to give up on her and I knew I had to find a way to make this work. It was a few months of sheer hell yet, slowly but surely as she gained her confidence back, she got better and it was clear she just wanted to make me happy and needed to be loved. I poured a ton of love, patience, affection, training, snuggles, kisses, treats and healthy food at her and she transformed into a little black and white adorable miracle!! She no longer wets the bed which she did constantly but she still has night terrors though less and less. She soon fell in love with my little snappy brindle Chihuahua and even protected her which was a miracle considering how bad it was at first!! She now does great with the two cats and even plays and snuggles with them. She is so loving and trusting....even after her first 2 years of hell. She's so licky, snuggly, snorty, zoomy, loving, playful, goofy, protective and so funny!!! She even tells me off sometimes which is hilarious!! I don't know what I would do without her!! Our only issue is her aggression towards other dogs on the leash which is a lingering issue from her abusive past, I think she may have been attacked on the leash. But slowly she's coming around. Her number 1 aim is making me happy and she tries so hard every day!! She knows when her Mom is not feeling well and she is content to snuggle up under the blankets for hours and watch movies like a couch potato! And when I'm feeling well she LOVES playing fetch with her favourite ball for hours and zipping around the neighbourhood like she owns the joint!! She is such an awesome dog!! Both of us are really feeling the grief of losing "Mama." Georgia still looks for her and seems so sad and out of sorts but we're managing together. How she is today is a testament to how amazing the breed is, she has come so far having been through so much abuse!! I couldn't be more proud of her!!! I really encourage people to rescue if possible. It may be a bit more work at first but there are so many great dogs in need of a safe, loving home and they will spend the rest of their lives thanking you for picking them!! She's my best friend and I couldn't love her anymore!!!! Bostons ROCK!!!! Proud Boston Mom!!

[@lewisselt3344]

The Best thing I have ever done for my family the pleasure we get from Lola who is now four years old she is the most beautiful dog and all Boston’s of fantastic

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I’m surprised you said they are not runners, my Boston she’s like a bullet and doesn’t get tired at all!!!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

When we say not runners I mean long distances over 3 miles or more. Oh yeah Bella is a big time sprinter too.

[@Ari2_cute]

Your boston terrier is big like mine! Shes 45lbs (not fat very lean and active) and people unfamiliar with Boston terriers assume shes some type of pitbull! I assumed they only came in smaller sizes like under 30lbs but wow they all are so different yet so lovable ❤

[@WhiteWolf-di2nh]

i am really impressed by those doggos! i mean i like all dogs but lets; be fair not all dogs are made for apartments .... for examplle i love Huskies but there's no chance to get one cause i feel heshe would feel bad in the apartment. that's how i started my long reseach about dogs that are good for apartments, that love cuddles and that dont need long walks. also the less shredding is a big bonus cause i really don't want all my house to be i n dog hair. So after a lot of reading and watching videos- I don't know ... but after watching this video I am seriously considering getting a Boston terrier!

[@SnowWalker1]

My Boston's name is Bella too.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Great name

[@leahostrowski231]

We’re getting a second dog soon as a friend for our shih tzu and I’m loving everything about the Boston terrier breed, from all the characteristics I’ve heard they are a duplicate of our current dog, we wanted a small breed but also wanted to experience a different breed so they are perfect 😍

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Glad to hear it!

[@terrydempsey6174]

We had a Boston (Ozzie) who lived to 15. At the same time we got a Shih-Tzu (Shai-lyn - means Little Sweetheart in Chinese). She lived to almost 18. They were fantastic friends and companions.

[@user-nq8cn6tz2e]

I've reead a lot of great comments but I wonder, as a 'retired senior' who aims to do some distance travel, how well do BT's do with travel? Also do airlines have good provisions for a BT or is one better off leaving him/her at reputable kennel?

[@nicholasmaschino8532]

I have been thinking about getting a Boston Terrier non-stop for the past couple days and I think that with some work we will probably get one in the next few months.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

That is exciting! Do you have a name or gender picked out yet?

[@nicholasmaschino8532]

Boston Terrier Society No, I am not entirely sure that I will get one. But, I think that if I get one then it will be a boy named Kix.

[@Lexielouwho]

The reason I was looking into the Boston terrier is because I absolutely love boxers and I think I'll always own one, but I also wanted a smaller dog as two big ones is a little much. Basically I'm looking for a mini boxer. A small dog with the same cheeky personality, expressive facial features and soulful eyes, goofball that loves to cuddle and is low maintenance. So I guess I should ask, am I on the right path, is a Boston all these thing?

[@abhinavuniyal6409]

Hi, m planning to get a Boston terrier. your videos are really making me get closer to my decision. Would you know any good breeders in Toronto area? Also, is brindle color rare in BTs as I see a lot of black and white ones in your videos n otherwise

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I don't know of any in Canada. Here is a video where I point people to start their search. I know a few Canadians who come down to get their Boston from breeders in the States...kzbin.info/www/bejne/nojakIudh9qAjZY

[@sageavery4469]

Your Boston has a long snout. Very cute.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Thank you!

[@efrusso08]

Hi there , I like your videos , very educative . I am getting a Boston terrier next month from a reputable breeder here in Florida . He born may 20 and we are excited to have him . I never had a Boston terrier before . He is white and red , beautiful color . I had a pit bull mix which pass last December 2019 of old age ( 14 yrs old). We are devastating . My son is 9 yrs old and love animals like me . He is very lonely inside the house during this pandemic and I’m a nurse and I am working In the frontline and I don’t have much time with him . The reason I chose a Boston , is because how low maintenance they are and very affectionate . We need tgat . My son need a friend and companion and so do I . Honestly has been awhile since we had a puppy and I need to learn to potty train and teach the puppy . My husband is terrified about . I know we can do it . I miss have some fun and joy inside the house . Which best food should I feed him ?? Should I let him on the crate with pee pee pad ? I heard is not a good idea because they get used too . It is better take him outside every time they eat , after nap , okay etc, etc .... anyway I would like some tips . Thank you and I appreciate .

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

How exciting! I think a Boston will be a perfect companion for your son. As for the food I would ask the breeder you’re getting your Boston from. They will be able to give you a better idea of what food type is working for your Boston parents. As for crate training and P pads I think taking it out is a much better idea. However you need to balance the time that takes with the time you have available. I do not think it’s going to harm your Boston by having P pads in the crate but it will make your house smell better in the long run you’ll have a better train Boston if you always take it outside. I hope that answers your question.

[@efrusso08]

Boston Terrier Society thank you so much for the feedback I appreciate . I asked the breeder what type puppy food she feed him and she told me is Purina puppy food which I don’t like this brand . Purine has grain in it and is not a good quality on my opinion . I will start him o blue buffalo chicken or salmon when I bring him home just like you mentioned. Thank you

[@denisefraley5618]

When picking out a puppy what should I know about there eyes, ears, and noses. Thank you!

[@fallrut2010]

We have had 3 Boston’s and would never consider another another breed.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

They are great!

[@dlcupples396]

Where do we find responsible breakers?

[@brettleecubbage]

I have a very similar story. I was going to get a frenchie. I mean really bad. But when i did my research. They have lot of health issues and ontop of all that. There around 3500 dollars around my way. I found a Boston. She's 4 weeks old from a breeder. And we are picking her up on June 8. Very excited!!!

[@Wickedboatsandplanes]

this is exactly how i got my boston. gotta keep the vet bills in mind too....the first year is expensive!

[@brettleecubbage]

I am thinking to get pet insurance for my Boston. Is it worth it?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

That is exciting! Yeah they are pricey! What are you going to name her?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I personally don’t have pet insurance for Bella. Here is an article I put together covering all the costs. Scroll to the bottom for my recommendation of Pet Assure. It is a savings plan rather than insurance you get 25% off on a number of vet items. But the article explains the cost for Boston Terriers with other insurance as well. I hope this helps. www.bostonterriersociety.com/boston-terrier-pet-insurance-cost/

[@brettleecubbage]

I wanted to name her roseie because that's the color of her nose. But my girlfriend asked me. What happens if it changed colors. Lol. So she wants to name her Maggie.

[@cfcooper]

I have a Dalmatian, he’s not a massively active Dalmatian compared to other Dalmatians I know I think I got a dud. Would a Boston terrier be a good mix with my dog?

[@Detroit-he2pm]

Hey I just bought purchased a Boston Terrier pup. I've been hearing about how they're pretty quit. Do they bark if they hear noise such as a doorbell or if somebody knock at the door? Thanks!!

[@sophiab.7375]

We have two Boston terriers, Molly and Penny. ❤️

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Love the names

[@martce]

Great channel. We rescued a 3-4 yr male Boston terrier a month ago. Any thoughts on how to prevent marking inside the house? Our BT was neutered and read this will reduce the marking desire but have not seen much improvement. We have him wear a diaper wrap inside the house. Thanks.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Thank you 😊 ! That is a really unique problem especially since he has been neutered. I don’t have a good answer can anyone help with this one?

[@martce]

Boston Terrier Society Thank you, we also had him checked at the Vet for a urinary infection and was negative. Approaching it as a phase that will resolve over time. Thanks

[@Yakarash]

Maybe look into box training? It works wonders for some. Slowly give her more and more space, only after it has learned that the area belongs to the no pee zone. But for some rescued dogs it takes longer to get used to the box. A lot of them don't get to go on walks, so they don't keep their living space clean except their sleeping space.

Hi There! We're looking to get our first BT and want to find a good breeder. We've been looking primarily at the AKC website. Do you recommend another avenue? Thanks!

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

AKC is a great place to look as well as the Boston Terrier Club of America's Breeder referral program. Here is a video of me talking about the places to find a Boston as well as links down below the video...kzbin.info/www/bejne/nojakIudh9qAjZY

Have u thought about using a cooling vest for Bella if u want to go running with her?

[@tabithan2978]

I had a Tibetan Terrier that died 10 months ago, 14 yrs. We were devastated. We are now thinking about a Boston Terrier, but I’d like to know if they are easy to toilet train. Our TT was stubborn and didn’t like being left alone, so she always did her business in the house. I can’t do that again. Does this dog do its business in the house?

I would like to get a Boston Terrier, I’m just worried about all the health problems they might get. I’ve never had a dog and I thought about getting this dog breed in a few years because it would fit my life style.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Overall Bella has been very healthy. I would check this video I created to help you www.bostonterriersociety.com/puppy-academy/health-questions/

Do bostons chew shoes, furniture etc…

I’m interested in getting a Boston but worried about the separation anxiety while I’m at work.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I’m going to have a trainer on the channel to talk about tips on dealing with separation anxiety. I have had a lot of boston owner tell me they have had their dog suffer with it. I think if you start some training classes as soon as you get your Boston and have them go over some sort of anxiety skills that you can learn you will be fine.

Hi! I just want to say I adore my STICH-IANNA...hahaha (yes, she's as mischievous as the character on Disney). She is the most wonderful dog I've ever had. She gets on very well with my Tabby cat, Frankie; I really love how they play together. On another note, I am trying to reduce her shedding. It's not terrible, but I do have to clean sofas every single day. I've changed her diet and have now added olive oil to it. It seems to be working, but do you have any other recommendations vis-a-vis shedding? I'd really appreciate some useful tips. Thanks!

im alone in ana apartment. will they bark in my apartment? are they good with poop training?

[@balasrinivasan4388]

Hey there , I am planning to get a Boston, but having second thoughts as I work for around 9 hours during the weekdays. I wanted to know in such a situation is it better to get two pups so that they are engaged or is it better to stick with one?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

If I could do it over again that is exactly what I would do for a Bella. I think she would have had less separation anxiety if she had a playmate. I think it is a great idea!

[@stephaniepersin4145]

bala srinivasan if you are working 9 hours then kick in commute time it’s not wise to get a dog. I work 8 hrs a day, have 3 dogs and live 4 miles from work.

Yes you should get Boston terrier there best mine name is sassy

Love the name Sassy lol

[@srhintz]

I like the flat faced breeds. Love Boxers but don't want that big of a dog right now. Looked into Pugs but the shedding and difficult house training won't work for me. Frenchies are too expensive and seem very strange in behavior. I like most of what I've heard about Boston Terriers so far. I've only ever been around one and he was so nice even the first time we met. I haven't seen one in a long time though. Maybe they are more popular on the East coast closer to the city that was named after them.

[@archiealas7549]

How would you know if you are getting a pure breed boston terrier. Please advise i am getting one soon.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I don't have a solid answer other than seeing the pedigrees of the parents.

[@malibelizec2543]

We are trying to find perfect breed for us and it come down to Boston terrier/Miniature schnauzer. Minniature schnauzer is a very robust breed but it seems that it is not as healthy breed as bostons are. Any experience on that?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Sorry but my experience is limited to Boston Terriers and a handful of other breeds. Can anyone else help with this question?

[@barbryll8596]

I had a mini snauzer that graced my family's life for 15 years. She was an awsome little dog. The one thing that could not be ignored was the grooming every 2 or 3 months. Not having the skills myself, I would pay to have her groomed. This can sure add up, but it's very important part of owning a snauzer. Goodluck on your decision 🇨🇦😁 P.s. her health was excellent, and we fed her high quality food. Had a couple of teeth extracted at 12 yrs. Great companion ❤️

[@creepercraftreacts129]

Do Boston's bark alot

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

No not at all. Boston’s are not know as a barking breed. They will bark at you lol but if you’re walking down the street they are not the dog breed who will bark at other people walking down the same street.

[@amyreid2995]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

[@caesuracrossing5473]

My family has one and i don't think that they were ready to have one. she is crazy and bites. I wasn't there when they got her for the first two years. When i got here, she stuck to me like glue I am trying to train her to not have these bad habbits, but it's hard she is already a year old. She does bark at me when im trying to make the bed.

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I hope the training goes well.

[@agg735]

Would Boston Terrier be a good first dog for someone with fear of dogs? And how much would a puppy cost?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

That is a really tough question about someone with fear of dogs. They are a very compassionate breed. But you’ll really need to play with a Boston puppy before making a decision. As for cost, if you’re purchasing from a breeder it could cost around $1,500

[@agg735]

@@BostonTerrierSociety Thank you. I'm not sure I'll get a chance to play with one before getting a puppy. It took a long time to be mentally ready and then yesterday I heard that Boston Terriers are very active and jumpy. Need to see how that goes. Covid made all the dogs very expensive. The breeders I found were quoting 3-4k, some even 5k! Quite insane.

in how many months does the Boston terrier reach half its growth?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Each dog is different but my best guess would be around the 4 to 6 month mark. Here is an article that could help. www.bostonterriersociety.com/boston-terrier-puppy-development/

[@flamingstag2381]

hi bt lovers ! we have lots of birds in our garden , some eat from our hands & gather around our feet daily , could someone be kind enough to inform us if their would be a conflict if we brought a bt into our life ?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

I could see a Boston puppy running going crazy with the birds but I think that might be the case for any breed of puppy

[@laurensplayground]

I'm 11 years old would that be a good age to full on care for one?

[@BostonTerrierSociety]

Yes I think so. The grooming needs of a Boston will take no more than 25 minutes a month. You will need to walk your Boston every day for at least 30 minutes. And you’ll need to feed it in the morning and then again in the afternoon. I think this is some thing and 11-year-old absolutely can do.
