A real Yankee-Doodle-Dandy! Although he owes a little of his ancestry to the British Bulldog, the Boston Terrier actually came into being in the late nineteenth century in the eastern states of America when, in 1893, a mix of bull and terrier types produced the first pair of dogs that were to become the foundation of the breed.
His short, square muzzle identifies him as a ‘bull breed’ and his small erect ears, combined with his well-defined colouring, add to his smart appearance. Dapper and classy, he is a real eye-catcher when out and about. He is good tempered and a happy house-dog - if a little boisterous. His short coat is easy to care for and his intelligence is highly developed. - | ||
