While originally bred for fighting, they were later down bred for companionship. The modern Boston Terrier can be gentle, alert, and well-mannered. Many still retain the spunky attitude of the typical terrier.
They were originally a cross-breed between the White English Terrier (now extinct) and an English Bulldog.
ChildrenSome Bostons enjoy having another one for companionship. Both females and males generally bark only when necessary. Having been bred as a companion dog, they enjoy being around people, and if properly socialized get along well with children, other canines, and non-canine pets. Boston Terriers can be very cuddly, while others are more independent. |
