We have created this newsletter to be a informative
publication for all Boston Terrier owners. Every week we will have
articles on Health, Showing, Rescue and even a Classified
section.
If you have cute pictures or just pictures you want
the world to see send them in for the Picture Page.
We also will have a Meet and Greet section for all
new Boston owners.
Thank you,
Thomas & Pam Lowe
History of the Breed
Boston Terrier
or Boston Bull,
breed of non-sporting
dog, originated by crossing an English bulldog with a white English
terrier. The Boston terriers, recognized by the American Kennel Club
as a distinct breed in 1893, are descended from a dog owned about 1884
by a native of Boston. The Boston terrier is a small dog, weighing
about 7 to 11 kg (about 15 to 25 lb). It has a square, flat skull;
large, round, dark eyes that are alert and intelligent; a smooth coat,
usually brindle in color with white markings, or black with white
markings; a short, square muzzle; small, thin ears; a wide chest; and
a short, tapering tail. The Boston terrier is lively, strong,
intelligent and gentle—an ideal pet.
