Bostons Made In America
So you want to buy a Boston Terrier? Please read below first!
(please do not buy from a pet shop...who buys from puppy mills, buy from a private breeder)

This is very important for you to know! Boston's cannot tolerate the heat or cold. They only have one layer of hair, so can only be outside in the winter for a few minutes at a time or they are subject to hypothermia. Due to the short muzzle, they overheat quickly, so must be kept indoors during hot weather. You cannot take a Boston jogging with you on a hot summer day like you can many other breeds, such as Labs, Golden Retrievers, Spaniels, Poodles, etc... Other than this, they are a great companion and family dog with little or no coat maintenance. There is very little shedding. Also keep in mind that Bostons are not kennel dogs, they are "by-your-side" companions!

His coat is easy to care for when it comes to grooming.
A few strokes with a soft brush will keep his short, smooth coat gleaming.

He is loving and sensitive, merry and bright, at times a clown and has a deep love for his family and children.

Usually he will get along well with other family pets if introduced to them at a young age.

Breed Standard

General Appearance

The Boston Terrier is a lively, highly intelligent, smooth coated, short-headed, compactly built, short-tailed, well balanced dog, brindle, seal or black in color and evenly marked with white. The head is in proportion to the size of the dog and the expression indicates a high degree of intelligence.

The body is rather short and well knit, the limbs strong and neatly turned, the tail is short and no feature is so prominent that the dog appears badly proportioned. The dog conveys an impression of determination, strength and activity, with style of a high order; carriage easy and graceful. A proportionate combination of "Color and White Markings" is a particularly distinctive feature of a representative specimen.

"Balance, Expression, Color and White Markings" should be given particular consideration in determining the relative value of GENERAL APPEARANCE to other points.

Size, Proportion, Substance
Weight is divided by classes as follows: Under 15 pounds; 15 pounds and under 20 pounds; 20 pounds and not to exceed 25 pounds. The length of leg must balance with the length of body to give the Boston Terrier its striking square appearance. The Boston Terrier is a sturdy dog and must not appear to be either spindly or coarse. The bone and muscle must be in proportion as well as an enhancement to the dog's weight and structure.

Coat
The coat is short, smooth, bright and fine in texture.

Color and Markings
Brindle, seal, or black with white markings. Brindle is preferred ONLY if all other qualities are equal. (Note: SEAL DEFINED. Seal appears black except it has a red cast when viewed in the sun or bright light.) Disqualify: Solid black, solid brindle or solid seal without required white markings. Gray or liver colors.

Required Markings: White muzzle band, white blaze between the eyes, white forechest.

Desired Markings: White muzzle band, even white blaze between the eyes and over the head, white collar, white forechest, white on part or whole of forelegs and hind legs below the hocks. (Note: A representative specimen should not be penalized for not possessing "Desired Markings.")

A dog with a preponderance of white on the head or body must possess sufficient merit otherwise to counteract its deficiencies.

Temperament
The Boston Terrier is a friendly and lively dog. The breed has an excellent disposition and a high degree of intelligence, which makes the Boston Terrier an incomparable companion.

Summary
The clean-cut short backed body of the Boston Terrier coupled with the unique characteristics of his square head and jaw, and his striking markings have resulted in a most dapper and charming American original: The Boston Terrier.
