About Boston Terrier
If you're looking for a lively and loving companion, the Boston Terrier could be your perfect match. With their dapper tuxedo-like coat and compact, sturdy build, they certainly turn heads. Known for their affectionate nature, Bostons thrive in family settings, getting along well with kids and other pets.

Grooming is a breeze with their sleek, short coat—just a quick brush once a week will do. Boston Terriers are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train with positive reinforcement. Keep an eye on their health, especially their breathing and eyes, as they can be prone to certain issues.
Weighing between 12 to 25 pounds and standing 15 to 17 inches tall, these little charmers are low-shedding, moderately bark, and typically enjoy a life expectancy of 11 to 13 years. Ready to welcome an adoring Boston Terrier into your life? They'll bring joy and laughter to your home.
