I've traveled the country over the past 5 years, and everywhere I've gone, I've met Boston Terrier owners who absolutely love their BTs. In fact, many of them love BTs so much, they've bought a pair! The more people we met with a pair of Boston Bull Terriers, the more Jim & I began to feel as though we were neglecting Gizmo by not providing him with another BT twin.

So, what's the big deal about Bostons exactly?

Well, there's much to like about the Boston Terrier breed. For instance, they're just so darn cute, what with those smushed faces and their "tuxedo" coloring, not to mention their squat little build. And then there's that winning personality... the incredible sweetness and devotion, the playfulness, the joy in living.

These are all the reasons why I love my "All American" Boston Bull Terrier. How about you?

The Boston Terrier breed is an AKC-certified breed, since 1893. Their official name is Boston Bull Terrier, though most BT lovers just call them Boston Terriers. They are officially in the AKC non-sporting group and considered excellent companion dogs and family pets.
