Dog Breeds - Boston Terrier |
 |
The Boston Terrier breed was developed in 1870 when Robert C Cooper from Boston purchased a cross of an English Bulldog and, the now extinct, White English Terrier. Though it is named “Boston Terrier” it is not actually a recognized member of the terrier group, and is actually recognized by the AKC in the “Non-sporting” breed group. The Boston Terrier is actually the first of the sporting group developed within the USA. This breed is relatively odor free and sheds quite little. They are very fond and devoted to their master, making them a wonderful companion! As long as they are properly socialized, Boston Terriers make great companions and get along great with people, children and often other pets. While Boston Terriers generally get along well with other dogs, the males may sometimes fight with other dogs to show dominance. Boston Terriers have short snouts and an elongated palate. Because of this, Boston Terriers usually snore and sometimes snorts. They may also experience related breathing difficulties. Their short snouts make their eyes more prominent, putting them at an increased risk for eye injuries.

Boston Terriers are a very intelligent breed; however they can be stubborn. This breed is quite muscular while compact in size. While originally bred for fighting, Boston Terriers are now bred solely for the purpose of human companionship. The aggressive nature that this breed once possessed for fighting has been almost completely bred out of them. Boston Terriers of today are quite gentle, mannered and friendly. This breed gets along well its own breed and they typical enjoy being kept in pairs. They are a relatively quiet dog breed, barking only when necessary.  |
I just want to thank you for your fast friendly service. Honestly, I was not sure how this whole pet insurance thing was going to work out but I am sure glad that I got it. Recently my puppy had severe digestive bloat from getting into some food. I rushed to the emergency vet and racked up a nice bill of $234.30. Thank goodness that my little "Rosa" was okay. I sent my claim to you and you sent me the cheque in full within a week. I am so glad that I have insurance for both my dogs. Thanks PetCare I really appreciate it. I tell all my friends that you are the best pet insurance on the market... I have proof!
