Boston Terriers are small dogs. Most weigh between 12 to 25 pounds, with a height of about 15 to 17 inches at the shoulder. Their compact size makes them suitable for various living situations.

Boston Terriers are known for their friendly, affectionate, and lively personality. They are good with children and tend to be sociable with other pets. Their playful nature makes them fun companions, but they can also be stubborn, so consistent, positive reinforcement training is recommended.

Boston Terriers have a short, smooth coat that is typically brindle, black, or seal with white markings, giving them their signature “tuxedo” appearance. Their coat is low-maintenance, requiring occasional brushing to control shedding.

Boston Terriers adapt well to various living environments, including apartments and homes with small yards. They thrive on human companionship and do best in homes where they receive daily attention and social interaction. They can handle moderate exercise but are also content with shorter walks.

Boston Terriers enjoy a variety of activities, such as walks, playtime, and interactive games. They thrive in active play, including fetch and tug-of-war. They also enjoy training sessions, where they can learn tricks or participate in obedience classes. Mental stimulation through puzzle toys is beneficial as well.
