Answer 1

A full collar is a white "collar" pattern around the neck, white socks are just that..the dog has white legs. Brindle is a color pattern with brown "stripes" on a black coat.
I hope you are not buying over the internet!!!! Go to the AKC website and read the breed standard so you KNOW what one should look like or you can be told a lot of things that are not true!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Boston Terrier Socks

Answer 3

Good luck with your new Boston!

Much of the stuff you asked about are cosmetic effects. Like does a car have white paint or blue. When you buy a dog from a breeder that cares for the very best, they will also give you a list of diseases they tested their breeding stock for.

So when you didn't ask about disease terms and stuff like that it sounds a lot like when a person wants to buy a car. The seller did not give information whether the car runs, has flat tires, no air, good or bad mileage, an automatic or stick tranny, or has any warranty.

The breeder should explain what your puppy agreement covers and that they want their dog back if for some reason you cannot keep it. They may explain microchipping and also brag a little about the achievements of the parent dogs.

Read here to see the expectations you should reasonably have for acquiring a life form you will need to take care of for the next fifteen years or so. If the puppy is not reasonably healthy from good bloodlines, this dog can cost you thousands of dollars in the first year.

Remember that you are not buying a toaster, but a little heart that beats and will trust you with his or her life.

Some of it goes like this:
========================
Bostons can live 15 years or more but are susceptible to some ailments or injuries common to dogs with short muzzles and prominent eyes and have a genetic predisposition to several diseases and structural abnormalities. They wheeze and gulp air, so can develop intestinal gas and respiratory problems, especially in hot weather. Their eyes are easily infected or injured.

Since Bostons have respiratory problems caused by their shortened muzzles, trainers should avoid methods that rely on collar tugs to force the dog into position and instead use praise, toys, and treats to guide the dog into position. Prong collars that place even pressure around the neck are less punishing on the trachea than a pop or tug with a chain collar.

Genetic diseases or conditions that can affect Bostons include megaesophagus (an abnormality that causes regurgitation of undigested food) and other digestive problems; tumors; Cushings disease; thyroid disease; unilateral or bilateral deafness; heart problems; dermatitis caused by allergens; skin diseases; neurologic diseases; cataracts; skeletal diseases; and urinary tract abnormalities. The Boston Terrier Club of America health committee is collecting data on breed health problems to help eliminate these problems as much as possible, but the potential for their occurrence in the breed makes it essential that potential buyers shop carefully for a breeder. Buying a puppy of unknown parentage from a pet shop or a newspaper ad can bring years of heartache. On the other hand, buying from a breeder who screens adult dogs for diseases before breeding and studies pedigrees to weed out dogs with problems is more likely to result in healthy puppies and long-lived adult dogs.

Healthy Bostons don’t need lots of exercise but enjoy walks and games of fetch. Puppies have high energy, but adult dogs are mellow and enjoy lap time. Their short coats are easy care – they don’t shed much and don’t need trimming and grooming is minimal.
========================
Take care, do your research. It is up to the puppy buyer to select a breeder that has taken care to produce the healthiest puppies that they reasonably can.
