Boston Terriers

I think Boston Terriers must be one of the nicest dogs to own. They are so clean and quiet. They don't bark hardly at all unless they see a stranger out of the window. Our other little dog barked all the time so it was such a relief to get Holly and find that she seldom barks. At first we wondered if she could bark at all. She is all stretched out in one of her chairs (she owns the house) sound asleep.

Pet Dogs

We have always loved Boston Terriers and have had several throughout our lives. Right now we have little Holly who is 10 years old and has been the best pet yet. Our son is a breeder and has had several various breeds over the years. While raising Boston Terriers, they got so attached to "Emmy" that they kept her as a permanent part of their family.

When our last little dog died we asked our son to find us a Boston Terrier, if he could, as he was not raising them anymore. He found Holly for us while we were away on a trip. She has an entirely white face, one brown and one blue eye. So although she was AKC, she would never have been able to be a show dog but we really love her and have enjoyed her so much. Above is a picture of "Emmy".

Boston Terriers

Boston terriers are very smart dogs. They are also very loving although they are not cuddly, as some dogs are. They love to lay so they touch you but they don't want you to pick them up and hold them on your lap. They want to eat anything you are eating too, which makes you feel really guilty but you know it isn't good for them. I keep a handful of our Holly's dog food in my hand, so if I eat a bit of cookie, I give her a piece of her dog good and she is quite content. It's funny how she can think her own dog food is a treat too. We sure love her, she is so good and well trained and would never even snip or bite at anyone, no matter what they do so she is wonderful around the grandchildren.
