Boston Terrier as the state dog of Massachusetts.
Appearance
Boston Terriers are typically small, compactly built, well proportioned dogs
with erect ears, short tails, and a short muzzle that should be free of
wrinkles. They usually have a square sort of face. The Boston Terrier is
characteristically marked with white in proportion to either black, brindle,
seal, or a combination of the three.
Temperament
The Boston Terrier was developed to be a companion and watchdog. A joy
to have around, they can sometimes be determined and self willed. For the
most part they are very intelligent and responds well to training. The
modern Boston Terrier can be gentle, alert, expressive, and well-mannered.
History
The breed was first shown in Boston in 1870. Shortly after, at the
suggestion of James Watson (a noted writer and authority), a breed club
changed its name to the Boston Terrier Club and in 1893 it was admitted to
membership in the American Kennel Club.
