History:

Around 1865, in Boston, a breeding between an English Terrier and a Bulldog resulted in a dog named "Hooper's Judge". This dog was bred to a smaller female and eventually the Boston Terrier was created.  The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1893, less than 20 years after the breed was created.  The Boston was the most registered dog in 1915, 1920 and 1930.

Temperament:

Clever and playful, the Boston is very devoted to its owner.  It is usually well-mannered but can be a bit stubborn.  Some do bark quite a bit.  Not a barker, however, Bostons make excellent watch dogs. They take pride in  defending their masters. It can be reserved with strangers and may be aggressive toward strange dogs.

Maintenance:

Daily exercise is a must with this breed. They love games and interaction with people.  It should not be kept outdoors. Some Bostons may snore. They cannot  tolerate heat well, and should be kept in moderate temperartures.  The coat requires just occasional brushing to remove dead hairs.
