Just wondering if anyone has or knows about boston terriers? I just got a 8 week old, and hes got quite the personality for such a young pup! If anyone could give me tips on them or what to expect from them that would be great!
Thanks

My boston, Winston, will be 9 this month. We have had him since he was 2. He is the most intelligent, personable, loving little guy in the world(OK I am partial to him:D )
He is almost completely blind due to cararacts. Bostons are prone to cataracts so watch for them. If they are taken care of early their sight can be saved.
Bostons are notorious for bad gas!!:eek: Winston can clear a room. I have started putting a teaspoon of plain yogurt in his kibble and it seems to be helping with that aroma.
Bostons love people. Winston loves to cuddle and be loved. He used to play frisbee and catch until he could not breathe...would just keep playing. With his sight almost gone, he now only plays with his basketball, he rolls it around with his nose and barks at it.
Bostons need to be kept cool in summer, preferably air conditioned area, and warm in winter. With the shape of their snout they have a very hard time breathing when it is hot.
If you need any more info let me know.
You have chosen a wonderful breed of dog

I have 1/2 boston terrier and the rest is a chinese pug. They do have great personalities don't they. Mine loves to give puppy eyes when she got yelled at for doing something wrong in front of me. I felt so bad like I was the meanest person on the earth when she started to cry real tears. Of course I picked her up and hugged on her which of course I shouldn't have lol. ;) :D

They are cute dogs. Don't know much. My brothers buddy has one Taz and they asked me to trim his nails, so I said ok. I have him on my lap on his back and next thing I hear this snoring OMG it was Taz. He feel asleep while I was cliping his nails. I thought that was the cutest thing LOL
