My friends boston terriers killed three of her dogs!

Omg that is horrible!!

OMG this is just heartbreaking! I'm so sorry to hear this. Just devestating.

Oh that is so sad and scary. My son has two male boston terriers and one is quite dominant. They scrap a lot. The crabby one came to them from an older couple and that must have spoiled it so. I'm afraid to tell them about this but I feel I must before something bad happens at their home. They are not necessarily good natured dogs then. It must have been like a bad nightmare to come home to that - I would be haunted by it. I'm so sorry.

The two female bostons had blood all over their faces and inside their mouths. The make boston only had it on his paws. The other dogs were either clean from hiding or on their paws from walking in the blood that was all over the floor.

Were they spayed and neutered if not that could explain some of the agression?

I read that bostons weare originally bred for fighting, but it was suppossed to be bred out of them by now. I blame the breeder that she got the two females from for breeding in agression. I sent her flowers today to make her feel better.

This is so heartbreaking and sad. I don't know why people do not heed what is said on all of these forums. Terriers are terriers, Boston, Yorkie, Manchester, Fox, whatever, and they have the terrier mentality. Please, Please, people never, never leave a pack of dogs home unattended. Crate them, pen them, put them into seperate rooms, what ever you have to do to insure their well being. Just because they are well behaved while you, their pack leader, is there, does not mean they will not fight when you are gone. I have yorkies, and I don't know how many times I have had people say they were only gone a little while, but by the time they returned home, one was killed by the other. I have 10 dogs, and when I leave they are seperated into different areas or pens, or even some are in crates. The only pairs that are together, are a fixed male and a fixed female. I have seen one turn on another too many times to take any chances, and intact females are the worse ones for attacking others.

I don't know that the breeder bred in the aggression. Un-spayed females have a tendency to become aggressive all on their own. There are many breeders who have to keep some of their females seperated for that reason alone.

Flowers were nice...she must be in shock.

I agree, especially if there not spayed & neutered it's just going to make it worse.
I dont know why she left them together after the first killing.
It's not the dog's fault's at all there just being dog's. In the end it's the Owners responsiblity to make sure each pet is safe before leaving home.

It's sad that this had to happen.

they were not spayed. she had hoped to breed them someday. i told her that if she cuts down and just has our Ki-Ki that i would buy her another really nice yorkie puppy later. she's my dearest friend and i would do anything for her. she is in tn and i'm in illinois. we are moving to her area as soon as our house sells. we met through our orkies years ago and became like sisters.

[Lexi Rae]

omg!!! i feel so terrible and dont know what to say,, but i will say that i was thinking about getting a dog for my b/f so lexi will have company, this just made up my mind. the answer is nooooo thankyou...
god be with all of them... may they rest in peace..

[LuvMy5Yorkies]

If you do get one, just make sure they are the same size and tempermant. A yorkie the same size would be ok. If you have a male though, I would get a female. We have two tiny females and they get along really nice. Our Me-Me is the boss though.

A week ago she came home to find her s**tzu dead. The vet didn't want to say they did it. Last Saturday she came home to find her little yorkie(Harley) and her poodle(Sissy) completley torn apart. She found a heart inside her bed covers. Needless to say, she is still in shock.
Thank the Lord she came home when she did so they didn't have time to kill the other three yorkies. They did all of this in three hours. This is a lesson to people who have larger breeds with our yorkies and think their rough housing with each other won't turn deadly for the rest. I am so relieved that they didn't kill our Ki-Ki that we gave her.

wow, that is horrible and heartbreaking! in all my life i dont think i have EVER came across a mean boston! i feel so bad for her, the heart was in her bed?! wowzie! i cannot imagine coming home to that.

was this boston not bred the right way or anything!?

[Rudys Mom]

OMG, that is so horrible. I don't know what else to say, it's just so....tragic.

[C101Yorkie]

That's horrible! I feel so sorry.
