Boston Terrier

The Boston Terrier is a breed of dog originating in the United States of America. This "American Gentleman" was accepted in 1893 by the American Kennel Club as a non-sporting breed.

Boston Terriers are known for their distinctive tuxedo-like markings, which give them a refined and charming appearance. They have a smooth, short coat that comes in colors such as black, brindle, or seal, often with white markings. Their compact, muscular build and expressive, large eyes add to their appealing look. Regular grooming is minimal but necessary to keep their coat clean and healthy.

These dogs are highly intelligent, affectionate, and friendly, making them excellent companions for families and individuals alike. Boston Terriers are known for their gentle and easy-going nature, often earning them the nickname "American Gentleman." They are generally good with children and other pets, making them versatile family companions. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them relatively easy to train, although they can be a bit stubborn at times. Regular physical exercise and mental stimulation are important to keep them happy and healthy. With their loyal, friendly, and playful nature, Boston Terriers make wonderful pets for a variety of households.
