Fred.jpggeorge-and-kit.jpgHere is a pic of the new Boston who just joined the terrorist cell at the farm. He is a really sweet 1-1/2 year old male. He's not been fixed, which I will have corrected soon.  His testicles haven't descended which means he is sterile, but to avoid complications and the usual problems with an unfixed fog - I'll have him neutered anyway.    The other pic is of Butch and one of our new kittens, Lufty.

He's smart looking but not so small for a Boston; actually none of my Bostons are small. They are all over 30 lb - the top of the breed standard is 26 lb! but they're just big boned...yeah that's it.

I have had many types of dogs over the years, including shepards, labs, Newfies, Dane, St. Bernard and poodles. The Boston is completely different from them - stubborn but very playful and they absolutely love to be with people - need it actually. They are really a big dog in a small dog's body with the appropriate temperament. I know I'd never want to be without a Boston in my life.
On the other hand, they snore and pass gas. They can be aggressive with other animals and can absolutely destroy a chew toy in a moment.

Oh Marion,  do I envy you, a new Boston.  Fred is soooo cute, perfect markings too.  How is he getting along with Butch?  And the cat??  My Bostons have hated cats. 

You know I loooovvvvve Bostons.  (Remember, I have Buster)   Fred's 1-1/2? ? Did you get him at rescue??  or did someone give him up??  We got Buster at 1-1/2 from BT rescue and have had him 5 years.

You are ever so right about the Boston's temperament.  Last night I brought home a new toy for Buster, he had it chewed to pieces in about 5 minutes.  He makes a hole in it then pulls the stuffing out all over the place.  But . . .  they are your best friend, actually bred to be companion dogs.  I'll never be without a Boston either.  Pass gas?  yes, sometimes at the most unopertune moments like when you have a housefull of company.  Snore, yes.    The other night Buster and my husband were snoring in concert, I had to go sleep in the guestroom.  But  . . . they aim to please and be your best bud and, they do not think they are a dog, so please, don't tell them, it hurts their feelings.
