Boston Terrier, also called the Boston Bull Terrier Dog, is a compact dog easily recognized with his dark coat with crisp white markings. He is also a well-muscled dog with a short, wide muzzle, dark, large round eyes set far apart and with small, fine erect ears.
The Boston Bull Terrier has a square skull which makes its to have a broad and flat head without wrinkles and a short muzzle leading to an ample black nose. His jaw is broad and square with an even or slightly undershot bite.
His neck is slightly arched and its chest is broad with his back just long enough to square the body. He also has a deep chest and a naturally short tail. His limbs are straight and muscular.
The Boston Bull Terrier Dog is a very lively, gentle, very intelligent and well mannered dog. Due to its refined and pleasant personality, it is sometimes referred to as the “American Gentleman”. Their intelligence makes sure that they learn things fast but sometimes can be a bit willful. It is most reliable and excellent with children and bonds to the whole family, and is especially good with elderly people and also very friendly with strangers. This dog breed is an excellent companion and generally gets along well with non-canine pets.
Boston Bull Terrier dogs have respiratory problems caused by their shortened muzzles, and can have breathing difficulties when stressed by exertion in hot or cold weather. They can even overheat if pushed too hard. They also wheeze and gulp air, so can develop intestinal gas. Their prominent eyes are also quite easily prone to infection or injury. It is also common to have heart or skin tumors in this breed.
However, healthy Bostons can live up to 15 years or more. They don’t need lots of exercise but enjoy walks and games of fetch.
Boston bull terrier dog is good for apartment and country living as they are relatively inactive indoors. But this breed is susceptible to weather extremes.
Their short coat is easy to groom as they do not shed much and do not need trimming so grooming is minimal. A grooming mitt used on the coat once a week should be enough to remove any dead or loose hairs from its coat. It will also have no doggy odors.
Therefore, considering all these facts that a potential dog owner should know, a Boston Bull Terrier dog is actually an excellent companion to have and will bring happiness to the family. But I highly suggest you read on more for Boston terrier dog training tips too.
