Boston Terrier

One of our neighbors had a Boston Terrier when I was a kid. It kind of annoyed the hell out of me, so I have negative feelings when it comes to the dog. However, multiple people have sworn we should look into getting one and that they are the best dog ever. This blog is all about being fair and open minded, so I'll put it out there for the crowd to decide.

Boston Terrier - This guy looks mad at someone

Size: 10-25 lbs
Life expectancy: 15 years
Grooming: Occasional brushing and washing
Shedding: Average shedder

Pros
Very intelligent dog
Playful and affectionate
Friendly with strangers

Cons
Can be high strung if not exercised enough
Can sometimes be a barker

Looks like a lot of the descriptions for dogs, especially terriers, we've seen so far. A lot of you have expressed strong opinions already about the Boston Terrier. Let us know some more, if you can, in the comments, and as always, please vote in the poll to the right.

  1. We have a boston - I just sent Leslie like 5 photos. And he is AWESOME! He can be stubborn, but doesn't bark (he tried and we trained him not to) he barely sheds, is super smart, very easy to train, super playful, is overall an amazing apartment dog!!
