We have two bosties; Bentley, a seal BT who is almost 9 years old and Baxter, a 7 year-old fawn BT. They are the most lovely dogs, with sweet personalities and are so smart and have fit in so well with our lifestyle. BT’s are adaptable, intelligent and loving companion animals. I couldn’t imagine life without these little ‘American Gentlemen’. The best breed of dog!

I am very keen to get a boston terrier. I work from home 2 of 5 days, would he/she cope being alone during the day? I have 3 children 10 and under so when we are home there will be plenty of interaction.

Thank you soooo much Pippa for your informative vital and in-depth editorial on these breeds. You have given me even more confidence that I have been chosen by my pet Xcohcoa who looks so much like a French Bull Terrior. Having had an operation on my left breast and the removal of fibrematted tissues – phyllodes tumour,. My sons brought her home to me after being discharged and settling down the Saturday evening ther she came all independent and full of life eleven weeks old so loving and needy and all mine and I was all hers. Perfect match. She’s been to the vet and had her jabs etcetera and been given the all clear. I shall continually pray for her health and happiness. So grateful for my little Xcohcoa, worthy to be spoilt with sooooo much love. Thank you again Pippa xxxx

In reply to CG. My Boston is very lively got her almost 2 yrs ago as a puppy she is full of personality and loves children but is too active for most and even for the outside cat but the cat loves her they play till birdie gets to aggressive . I live in a country setting and she has been itchy a lot this year she is on a regular flea tick routine so it’s not that possible it’s dry skin and not sure what to do . She get more then her share of baths cause she loves to roll in the dirt . If anyone has skin care information I would welcome advice. Birdie was my grandmothers name from the 1800 s

We lost our Rosabelle Pearl after 16+ marvelous years! “Rosy“ was always upbeat & happy; a real joy to have around. She was energetic & always was trying to anticipate your next move! It’s amazing how athletic, rugged & strong these animals are, yet they thrive as being little snuggle buddies. After being without her for almost two years now, we have made a deposit with a certified breeder for a new Boston puppy. I also had a deaf male Boston when I was a child. He, too, was amazing & was the reason we got Rosabelle. Like all dogs, it is so important to socialize & obedience train your pup at a very young age. Don’t forget how important exercise is to your dog! We had pet health insurance on Rosy, which may not always be cost effective in many people’s eyes, but it automatically scheduled routine checkups and shots, etc, that were part of the plan. It helped us to schedule good routine health visits to the vet. She lived 16 & half years before we had to put her down, so we feel the great health coverage was a big part of her longevity. BTW, she was a pet store puppy that was run by a veterinarian, & she came with all the health guarantees that a good breeder will offer. Shop around & ask questions, because breeder waiting lists can be quite long.

Rory left 2 weeks ago our 2nd Boston–first left at13. Our Rory had a seizure problem for about 2 years before she left. Miss her soooo much
Did you get a puppy or adult? I know early but want to prep for when the time is right. Bostons are the best, most loving, and cuddly babies you can find. Life too empty.

In reply to Emma Dewdney. Our Boston Terrier turns 1 tomorrow. We have had her for 3 weeks. She is very sweet and well behaved. We do not have cats, but have small children. She has been fantastic! Our last dog was a Doberman. It has been a night and day difference. Our Boston Terrier is really easy.

We had Morrison for 14 years. When he passed away it hurt. He could not be replaced. After about 5 months we decided a house wasn’t a home without a Boston. Cooper has his on personality and is just as loving. Wouldn’t have another breed.
