The Boston Terrier was the result of a cross between an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier. One of our very first native American breeds, later became considerably inbred.

The Boston, while not a fighter, is well able to take care of himself. He has a characteristically gentle disposition that has won him the name of the American gentleman among dogs. It is said they are good with children.

The Boston Terrier makes a suitable apartment dog with little or no yard. He is intelligent, and lively and should be exercised daily.

Height - 10 to 17 inches. Weight - 15 to 25 pounds.

Coat types - short and sheds very little. Should be combed twice a week.

Costs - averages $15.00 a month.
