Bostons are one of the bully breeds, but they do have a wonderful disposition. I took care of a momma Boston for some show folks who were moving and she had 4 babies. When those little guys were about 8 weeks old they took off after a Doberman and chased it a couple of blocks. Was funny as could be, but it would not have been if they were full grown and did that. I was given pick of that litter for helping take care of all these guys and I chose a female that was sweet as sugar and that's what we named her. When she was a couple of years old I dog sat a Schnauzer boy who got after my tiny Chihuahua and the prey drive kicked in with him and the Boston and they were after my little girl before I broke it up. I think most any dog will do the same thing if there is another dog that initiates this prey drive.
I would never have more than one or two of the bully breeds at a time, and not with other dogs. |
