For those who do not know this small inquisitive and sometimes humorous toy breed, they have no idea of what they may be missing out on, caring for Boston Terrier puppies is not only entertaining, but also, these puppies have a lot of love to give.
Boston Terriers are a very curious breed of toy dog from the non sporting AKC group. Standing anywhere from 15 inches to about 17 inches in height you can find those under the breed standard as well as over. Normally weighing in around 10 to 25 pounds they're considered the American Gentleman of the toy breeds.
These are not small boned or petite little dogs, but instead are considered sturdy little dogs with a very playful attitude. They work very well for families with upper elementary grade children and offer a willingness to be immersed in the whole family. They love to please and take harsh criticism personally, in fact, it's best to scold rather than get heavy handed, as the tone of voice speaks to them very well.
They are often seen in the common color combination of black and white, and yet other colors are accepted by the AKC. Their coat is short and they do not require frequent bathing, but a bit of a brush now and then will keep them shiny.
Boston Terrier puppies are just about like any other pup, curious, inquisitive and wanting to do the right thing, so training is a breeze if attention is paid to the small details.
Remember, your Boston Terrier puppy is a baby, and just like other babies, too much activity, a sudden change in diet or lifestyle or not enough nap time can have them not only tired and cranky, but potentially ill. Because of their small size, frequent feedings and naps are best at keeping your puppy healthy and happy.
You'll find that crate training is a great choice for not just bathroom training, but it also gives them a safe and out from underfoot place to decompress and take a nap.
You'll need to make judgment calls with your puppy just as you would any other baby, and if they do not head for their crate on their own to nap, you may want to enforce rest, also, keep water close to the crate, and your pup won't have problems with dehydration.
If you do not already have a veterinarian, be sure to start your puppy's life out right with a visit to get to know your local Vet. Find out what type of pet insurance they accept as well as their schedule for vaccinations. Do not skip your puppy's vaccination boosters, as a puppy's immunity is not fully prepared until after 4 months of age, and even with vaccines can catch many of the local strains of disease and virus'.
Boston Terrier pups fit in well with older individuals, apartments, and families without tiny children. With their lively active sense of humor and natural curiosity you'll want to make sure and provide a safe environment when your home and when more importantly when your away.
The Boston Terrier is a great breed of small dog, and will suit in many situations, follow your Vet's schedule, check on the available pet health insurance they take, and always make sure your Boston pup has a safe place to spend their time when you're not around, such as a puppy pen or a crate.
