Dog Breed of the Month--The Boston Terrier

The "American Gentlemen of Dogs", the Boston Terrier is a sweet dog with a gentle nature. They are friendly with everybody; kids, grown-ups, cats, other dogs, and even strangers.

A recognized breed of the AKC and classified as a "toy dog"; these pooches love attention, and are easy to train. They only need a moderate amount of exercise, and just a little bit of grooming, so they are perfect small-house dogs.

The Boston Terrier was developed in Boston Massachusetts following the Civil War as a fighting dog. It has since become an all-American dog.

The Boston pictured here is named Lilly.

Sweet, hansom, and totally lovable, the Boston Terrier is a sure hit!
