Meet the Boston Terrier



Originally a "pit terrier" used for fighting, the Boston Terrier is one of the very few breeds that was actually developed in the United States. Despite its more contentious origins, this handsome little dog that sports his own tuxedo, quickly found favor with Americans as a popular pet. In 1891 when the breed was looking for recognition it was noted writer James Watson who pointed out that since they were bred only in the vicinity of Boston, that it would be an appropriate name for them. The Boston is considered one of the most popular breeds in the U.S. This square headed dog is both dapper and boisterous with the makings of a good-natured house dog.
