It took 3 years and lots of tears to recover. I started sharing a house with my friends and bought Dwayne a new Boston named “Merlin” (Shadows Bitts of Magic, CGC) That started the whole thing…

We believe Bostons should be:

• Very friendly, outgoing and happy. A Boston should never meet a stranger, but greet each person with enthusiasm and kiss if allowed.

• They should possess a square head, dark brown round eyes that can talk you out of your dinner, erect ears set on the corners of the head, and an expression of kind intelligence.

• Their body should be cobby (short- back well-ribbed up, good strong limbs with good bone) and square when viewed from the side, with a straight level back. The tail should be short and can be screw or straight.

• They should be free from genetic defects such as deafness, juvenile cataracts, hemivertebrae, luxating patellas, and hip dysplasia.

• Colors acceptable are black and white, black with brindle and white and seal and white, other colors exist but are not recognized by AKC or perpetuated by responsible breeders.

  Please beware of unscrupulous breeders who try to sell off colored Bostons.  There are many breeders trying to sell Cream, Blue, and Red or Brown colored Bostons which are not recognized colors by the Boston Terrier Club of America or the American Kennel Club. They may say they are RARE and try to charge prices in the area of $1500.00 or more.Please do not support their efforts as they DO NOT have the best interests of the Boston Terrier in their hearts.They are breeding against the standard probably to fulfill their own greedy desires.
