I do think they would be a good fit for you. I've heard many times from other Boston owners that their Bostons (which I think were mostly males) were crazy and energetic. I have not had that experience at all with my two female Bostons. Sure they love to run and play but they also love to sleep a lot. I've had no trouble calming them down. Mine hardly bark unless they are copying other dogs. They seem to learn a lot of their behaviors from other dogs.How do you find their energy levels? Do you think a Boston would be a good fit?
