Nicknamed “American Gentlemen,” the dapper Boston Terrier has a shiny, smooth tuxedo coat with upright “bat” ears and large prominent eyes. It exudes friendly charm, amusing antics, and boasts a short sturdy stature. The breed displays affectionate devotion toward its family, has moderate exercise needs, and aims to please its beloved owners. Bostons adapt well to city or apartment life and are known to be gentle with children. Grooming is easily accomplished by regular brushing sessions and the occasional bath.
