Boston Terrier Thread!!

Wow, yeah...uuhh...I have a lot of questions.....

Same!!

Why do none of the Boston breeders seem to sell to people with big dogs or cats? I get they’re small but to me they seem a lot less fragile than other little breeds?

I didn't know that was a thing, we have both and so far our Gypsy is fine with the cats and and the big dog is incredibly gentle with her.

Thought I'd post this cherry eye remedy in case anyone needs it in the future. Bostons are prone to cherry eye and my Boston has had it twice. This method works if caught early!

That’s awesome!! It might only be some breeders, I’m not sure.

Is Gypsy snoring quite loudly in her sleep something I should be concerned about?

It's normal. BUT some Bostons have small nostrils that need to be widened by a vet. https://newtampapet.com/stenotic-nares-narrow-nostrils-dogs/

Here are some reasons you might NOT want a Boston Terrier :

• They are very gassy
• They snore loudly at night
• They are demanding of human attention
• They boss around other dogs
• They lick everyone and everything
• They love to roll in (and eat) stinky things
• Brachycephalic breed health issues

I can't think of other downsides....
Some of my family members still don't really like my Bostons.
