BOSTON TERRIER

Origin and use: From the U.S.A. this American fighting dog looks more like a Bulldog and is not a true Terrier.
Height: not specified
Weight: not more than 11.25 kg
Temperament: lively, intelligent, obedient
Useful information: When over excited or too active the dog overheats and has difficulty breathing which could put extra strain on the heart. They have, like all short nosed breeds, a tendency to drool. Grooming is minimal and a good brushing and a rub down with a chamois will keep it clean and shiny.
