There are some who say that Boston Terriers are America’s Dog Breed. They have earned the nickname “American Gentleman” because of the way that their coat looks like a tuxedo. They have a face that is hard to not love with their big eyes and expression-filled facial expressions. However, there are so many more reasons people like them and it goes beyond their looks in every way. Do you know why everyone loves a Boston Terrier?
Quirky Personalities
Although Boston Terriers are known for their ability to be a family dog that is content to sit next to you, they are also fun dogs to have around. Each one has a unique personality that may range from laid back to absolute clown. Most all of them spend a lot of time each day trying to find something goofy to do to make sure that their owner is laughing, which really comes in handy when you are having a bad day.
Loyal to a Fault
These dogs want to be with their owner through everything. They are very loyal companions. They are also calm enough in most cases to be able to do anything with you that you want to do that day. If you want to kick back in your Pjs and play couch potato for a day, your Boston Terrier will be by your side. If you want to spend a day in the park or swimming at the beach, they will also be up for that. They are filled with energy enough to stay active all day, but they can also be calm enough to live happily inside of an apartment.
Their Size
Boston Terriers are small dogs that are not so small you have to worry about hurting them constantly. When grown, they weigh only about 15-25 pounds and stand at around a foot tall when all four feet are on the floor. This means that they can ride in a car with you, take walks with you, and basically be your loyal companion in all things.
They are Quiet Dogs
All dogs bark, but some take it to the extreme. Boston Terriers are not one to take it to the extreme often, especially if you set the rules. They will bark if someone comes up to your doorway or if they see a dog outside that isn’t supposed to be there, but otherwise they will stay quiet. This makes them great for being a watch dog for your home and family.
