Anyone have a Boston Terrier?

[Roxy_Mom]

My mom has a Boston that I got her for Mother's Day last year. Her name is Starbuck and she is my mom's baby. She is not one of the tiny Boston's but she is considered standard. They are very smart and loyal dogs. They LOVE people and are very friendly. Starbuck is very strong though. She likes to jump up on you and although she is small, she feels like a big old lab jumpin on ya. She is very hyper but very well behaved and loyal. They are great dogs and so darn cute!!!!

I don't personally have one but my as well since my best friend does His name is Boss and he is my Harley's boyfriend . They are full of energy, but like another member said, they're ready and willing to veg out when you want. I love to watch him and Harley chase each other. Cutest thing ever is when they're both pooped out and cuddle up with one another. I think they're great as long as you train them.

I have looked into the breed a bit and there's a few forums like YT for them (One is called Woof! I think?) and I'm sure you could find out some more info there. I research different breeds sometimes because I think it's gonna be a little bit before adding a 2nd dog so I really wanna be sure. BTW, Zipper is adorable.

Thanks Brit...I will look into some BT forums

We were unashamedly the biggest "show-offs" in every class we took her to. Agility, obedience, fly ball.
The last trick we taught her was, we'd say "Mumpsy, if your weight is good, you can have a treat". Then she would run to the scale and hop on with one back foot still on the floor (pretending to cheat). My husband still grieves everytime he sees a Boston.

Thanks for sharing...love the scale trick..I need to teach that one to Lola..LOL

I don't, but I got to cuddle one not long ago and he was the sweetest thing. I'd love to have one.

I have an 8 month old boston named Sophie. She doesn't slobber but does pass gas a lot. She is best friends with our chihuahua and is very gentle when they play. Gypsy (our yorkie) tolerates her. She loves to cuddle with me at night, sleeping as close to my neck and back as she can.

I love her to death. She is more likely to be climbing up onto my lap when I am on the comp more than the others.
