Those Special Bostons

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." -- Unknown

Let me start out by saying that Boston Terriers are special dogs that can do special things. They are highly intelligent and learn quickly. They do very well in Obedience, Therapy work, Agility and Flyball and even Weight pulling! Bostons excel in many roles. A Boston Terrier can be a child's rough and tumble best buddy, or a senior citizen's soulmate and confidante. Most of all they excell at being your "best friend"!

However, they are not for everyone.

Bostons require a lot of time and attention. They are and have been bred to be companions. They will langusih without human contact. They are not "outside" dogs!

Boston Terriers are very active dogs that love to play. Without some basic training they may jump on you and maybe even give little nips while playing. Some Bostons have been given up for adoption or dropped off the local "dog pound" for these very reasons.

Boston Terriers can also be prone to some health problems, many of which require expensive Veterinary attention. If you would like to know more about some of these health problems, please visit Boston Terrier Club of America's Health Committee.

We are NOT trying to discourage you from having a Boston, We just want people to be aware as we have helped to rescue and place a few of these wonderful little creatures and do not want to end up needing to "rescue" any more. Please buy ONLY from a reputable breeder that has health clearances on their dogs.

Here are just a few Boston Terriers pictured doing what they like to do best (which is to please people).

Please be Patient while the pictures load, they are well worth the wait.
