At this moment you may be looking for a dog as a pet and companion. And this is probably why you are reading this article right now because you saw a Boston Terrier puppies for sale sign earlier.

On average the price of the terrier will range anywhere from one thousand dollars to one and a half thousand dollars. Sometimes you will be able to score one for below one thousand dollars sometimes at seven hundred or eight hundred. As these dogs are fairly hard to breed, with many growing up with complications, it is advised that you get one from a known and reputable breeder.

At first glance this dog looks very much like a French Bulldog, and sometimes can be mistaken as such. Both of course have the same perennially erect ears and pug noses. And also both have classically big and bulbous eyes. This is because perhaps it is due to the fact that the original Boston Terrier was a cross between a British Bulldog and a Terrier back in England, and later brought into the United States.

Due to it having a pug nose, it will have the same problems that bulldogs and similar pug nosed breeds have. That is that its short breathing tubes will make it difficult for it to regulate its core body temperature in extreme climates. Thus this is not really a dog for you if you live in very hot tropical weather or subarctic cold weather as it may die.

This dog is also known to be very sensitive, so its living environment should be somewhat be less chaotic and not so noisy. It is a dog that is not so aggressive and does not exhibit alpha male tendencies like its bulldog forebears or cousins. Do not expect a lot of problems with it picking fights with other people or other animals, so it is fairly safe to keep with small children.

The breed is also very easy to groom as many call it a brush and go dog. It has a short coat and it also does not shed a lot of fur. This does not mean that it is hypoallergenic so you may need to check it out first and take precautions if you have any known allergies. Upon inspection they are called the American Gentleman since their coat looks like they are wearing a tuxedo.

In terms of lifespan they are fairly long lived for their size, averaging 13 to 15 years, with it being longer with proper diet, upkeep and maintenance. In terms of related health conditions due to age, expect a frequency of eye problems that go along with the breed. They can be quite gluttonous so it is wise to regulate their food intake.

En toto these are the basic information you need to mull over regarding this breed. Always make sure that you have all bases covered in terms of information. Remember that it takes a lot of responsibility and commitment to be a good dog owner so you must do your homework ahead of time.
