I have always had a passion for Boston Terrier's. I love Boston's of all colors. All my Boston's are well socialized. They are not very hyper. I raise smaller Bostons ranging from 12-18lbs. All my females whelp their pups naturally. I raise them around other dogs, cats and children.
The Boston Terrier is gentle, alert, very intelligent, well-mannered and enthusiastic. Without the proper amount of mental and physical exercise it can become rambunctious and a bit high strung. Boston's like to learn, are very smart and are not difficult to train. Their intelligence ensures they pick things up quickly. Bostons need a gentle, but firm, confident, consistent pack leader "human" who knows how to display authority over the dog. It is canine instinct to have a strong leader and this little guy is no exception to the rule. Either the human will be that leader, or the dog will. Great with children, especially good with elderly people and friendly with strangers, the Boston Terrier is playful, very affectionate and loves to be part of the family. They generally get along well with non-canine pets. Without proper leadership from humans communicating to the dog what is acceptable behavior and what is not, they can become dominant and may fight with other dogs. These little dogs can be stubborn and may be difficult to housebreak.
