What are Boston Terriers like?? what is their behaviour like and how much do they cost?

Answer 1

You can find good Boston Terriers everywhere between $500-$1500. (The price fluctuates depending on whether or not the female needs C-sections. Many do, but some do not.) Carefully choose the breeder based upon references and reputation. You can do a breeder search through the AKC or the BTCA. *Always* ask a lot of questions about health, temperament, longevity, and *always* see the parents. A Boston should be sweet, energetic, intelligent, and free of breathing problems, eye problems, epilepsy, and joint ailments. Find a breeder that screens for those problems, and get a health guarantee.

A good Bossie will be wonderful with children of all ages, as well as other animals. (I have three children, ages 2, 7, and 13, and my dogs adore them all.) I grew up with them and so did my dad. My grandpa got his first Boston Terrier way back in the 40's. We haven't had a bad Bossie yet.

Now, the fun stuff. Bostons are *very* lively little dogs with absolutely wonderful senses of humor. They *love* to play just as much as they love to cuddle on your lap. They love to play tug-of-war and chase balls and frisbees. Mine will even gently play tug-of-war with my two-year-old. They know just how hard they can pull with each of the kids. They are naturals with them.

They can *not* live outside, and must be house dogs. The heat will kill them just as quickly as the cold. But, they are perfectly built for the job, and fit in perfectly with even the largest of families. They have a tendency to become overweight, so you have to watch their food intake carefully. You must never allow your Boston to run loose. They love people so very much that they will run right out into the road in front of traffic to see a passer-by, or leap into a stranger's car to say hello.

Bostons are quite easy to train, though some of them have a left-over streak of stubbornness from the Bulldogs that they came from so long ago. They can learn to do just about anything you can dream up. One of mine does head-stands. No, I'm not kidding.

And I'll warn you, once a Boston lover, always a Boston lover. Almost all of my clients are return customers, or have had them in the past. Feel free to contact me with any specific questions. I could chat volumes about them!

Answer 2

I have a boston! He is 3 and his name is Peanut. He is great. It's like having a large dog in a small package. We take him hiking in the mountains all the time, and he does great on long hikes. But I like that he can also be lazy, and lay around the house with me. He is a little clown, real funny facial expressions. He is smart too. Does lots of tricks; roll over , beg and so on. He sleeps in bed, under the covers, and snores worse than my hubby! LOL. He cost us $800. He was flown to up from out-of-state, so there was a $200 fee.
I totally recommend this breed.

Breed her in elementary terms once you have carried out here: a million. She is AKC (or Canadian KC) registered. 2. She is a minimum of two yrs previous and been examined for all genetic problems in the breed. 3. you have shown her in affirmation and earned a champion identify. 4. you have written permission from the breeder to reproduce her. specific small canines and distinctly those with extensive heads commonly want an costly c-area to grant the domestic dogs ($a million,500+) i'm not sure of all the fees for the somewhat some genetic exams you will need; probable countless hundred. i might guess the time-honored may well be 2-4 domestic dogs. in case you won't be ready to end the above then she might desire to be spayed now and not bred in any respect.

Answer 4

hi i have one. honestly i never wanted a boston terrier and still am not too particular on that breed. I just fell in love with this one boston terrier and she is definetly my heart. you can see her picture on dogster.com go to the name and type in jatie. she has a personality out of this world.

boston terriers have a tendency to be hyper(not all though) but with good training you can calm it down. my dogs mom got on my nerves so bad sometimes. I trained my dog to leave people alone when told to. they are smart dogs eager to learn. and love attention. they are low maintenance. My brother has a few of them and he got his first one because of their temperment with children. honeslty i don't know if all boston terriers are smart but mine is a genius. she was house trained in 2 weeks and by 10 weeks of age she could, sit,stay,rollover,playdead,high five etc.

I paid 350 from a friend. she normally sells her for 500. the dog i got my dog bred by his litter mates sold for $1800-2500 but they had a very well reputalble blood line. it is according where you live at of normally how much they cost. and the bloodline. for more info you can go to akc.com it can tell you what the boston terrier is all about and if it is a dog suitable for you. sorry for the length had to brag about my baby i wouldn't chang it for the world
