All About Boston Terriers!

According the the Boston Terrier Club of America, "Boston Terriers are special dogs that can do special things. They are highly intelligent and learn quickly. They enjoy showing off in the conformation ring and do very well in Obedience, Therapy work, and Performance Events (Agility, Flyball and even Weight pulling!) Bostons excel in many roles. A Boston Terrier can be a child's rough and tumble best buddy, or a senior citizen's soulmate and confidante. Most of all they excell at being your 'best friend'!
"However, they are not for everyone.
"Bostons require a lot of time and attention. They are and have been bred to be companions. They will languish without human contact. They are not "outside" dogs!
"Boston Terriers are very active dogs that love to play. Without some basic training they may jump on you and maybe even give little nips while playing. Some Bostons have been given up for adoption or dropped off the local 'dog pound' for these very reasons."

I've been lucky enough to share my life with three Boston Terriers. Our first family dog was a Boston named Spunky. He was, indeed, my best friend as I was growing up and I can't imagine any kid having a better one.
