Welcome To the Boston Terrier Picture Page

Boston Terriers are extremely devoted to their owner and are very sensitive to the atmosphere and mood around them. This dog can sense whether its owner or other people are feeling upset, happy, or angry.

During the late 1800s, wealthy families from Boston used to employ coachmen to interbreed some of their finest of dogs. It was at that time that one of these crosses, between an English Terrier and a bulldog, created a dog named “Hooper's Judge”.

He was well over 30 pounds but was bred with a smaller sized female. The offspring puppy, which was a boy, was then bred with a female smaller than himself. Finally, the puppies of these two dogs were then interbred with French Bulldogs, which in turn created the foundation of today's Boston Terrier.

If you keep your Boston Terrier in a constant state of good health from sound nutrition and daily exercise, it has a long lifespan of up to 14 years. Another quality of this terrific house pet is that it has absolutely no major health concerns throughout the breed. The minor health issues that rarely come up are stenotic nares, patellar luxation, elongated soft palate, and allergies. It is recommended that all Boston Terriers be specifically tested for hip dysplasia, knee problems, and potential eye issues.
