Fell in love with my son's Boston Terrier. She satisfies my childhood desire for a lion cub and to live born free.

Calling all Boston Terriers
by Renée van Opijnen on 04/27/18
Adweek took an in-depth look at an important decision advertisers find themselves wrestling with when casting an ad: What kind of dog do people love the most right now? Although Buzzfeed listicles might imply that Corgis or French Bulldogs are the "it breed" of the moment, Michael Ventre reports, "today definitely belongs to the Boston Terrier."

Boston Terrier Club

Fortunately our breed has outgrown Boston.
It is much bigger than any city in the world.
At one time because a man lived in Boston he was considered an authority on the breed, but altho there are still many good men in Boston who have the interest of the breed at heart, and who know their dog, there are just as many men with just as much knowledge and just as sincerely interested in the Boston terrier in dozens of other centers thruout the United States and Canada.

The big little dog
by Renée van Opijnen on 04/26/18
He is a marvelous little dog, this Boston terrier of ours. He is too firmly established in public favor and too magnificent in himself to be hampered by petty politics, or the working of cliques.
All hail to the Boston terrier, the big little dog, the Boston terrier!
-Vincent G. Perry
The ideal Boston Terrier
by Renée van Opijnen on 04/26/18
Expression, that elusive, beautiful thing that is so much a part of our dogs, is formed mainly by the eyes; the expression must be alert, but kind and intelligent. When a Boston Terrier is showing on the block and you look down into his face, you want to see an expression shining from his eyes that says in a very polite dog language - "gosh, how I love you, but for the love of Mike, give a nibble of that piece of liver." Loving, but alive.
-Vincent G. Perry
Mark Twain quote stated backward

In Philadelphia they ask, who where his parents?
In New York, how much is he worth?
In Boston, how much does he know?

Rhett the Boston Terrier
by Renée van Opijnen on 04/25/18
The Boston Terrier became the Boston University mascot on November 15, 1922. The mascot was later named "Rhett" after the character from Gone With the Wind, since nobody loves Scarlett more than Rhett.
The Roundheads

The Roundheads
The Boston Terrier originated in 1865 by a handful of coachmen living in the Beacon Hill area of Boston. The original Boston was developed as a "man's dog", but never gained popularity as a fighter. Mr. Robert C. Hooper purchased a dog named Judge, a cross between an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier, from Mr. William O'Brien also of Boston, who had imported the dog from Europe. Bred down in size with French Bull dogs, it later became popular with women as a pet.
The Olde Boston Bulldogge was first shown in 1870 in Massachusetts. By 1889 the breed had become popular that fanciers formed the American Bull Terrier Club; their nickname "the roundheads". The American Kennel Club (AKC) cites Hooper's Judge as the ancestor of almost all true Boston Terriers; his offspring providing the foundation for "the Boston".
Despite the name, the Boston Terrier is not recognized as a terrier by the AKC and was the first non-sporting dog bred in U.S.A. With tuxedo-like markings and possessing so fine a disposition free of its ancestors' fighting temperament, they gained the nickname "The American Gentleman".
The first registered Boston Terrier admitted to the AKC studbook was a male named Hector in 1893. Three years later a female, Topsy, became the first Champion at the Philadelphia Dog Show. In comparison of specimens of each sex, the only evident difference is a slight refinement in the females composition - her overall appearance and structure.
