About the Boston Terrier

The Boston Terrier is a small dog breed originating in United States. Adult dogs typically weigh 12 to 25 pounds and live 11 to 14 years. The breed is described as friendly, people-oriented, playful, brachycephalic.

Families or singles wanting a small, friendly companion that adapts well to apartments. Air conditioning helps in summer. Hot climates without climate control; the flat-faced structure limits heat tolerance.

Adult Boston Terriers need about 40 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 50 minutes. The coat is short-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
